THE CHTHONIC REALMS
The Chthonic Realms represent the underworld not as punishment, but as process — release, grief, transition, protection and renewal. These oils are companions for shadow work, nervous system grounding, grief tending and deep energetic boundaries. Each blend is aligned to a sacred realm or river of the underworld, supporting movement through endings, thresholds and rebirth with steadiness and reverence.
