POTENTIAL [ the fool ] — hand-poured tarot balm infused with horsetail and green aventurine

$23.00
Make space for the meaningful with applied arcana’s tarot balms.

Designed to help us center ourselves amidst the mundane distractions of modern life, these all-natural herbal products are handmade according to traditional methods yet offer a new kind of full-spectrum personal care for -all- of us: body, mind, and spirit.

Each of the twenty-two balms in the tarot balm series has been linked with a single card of the tarot’s major arcana, labeled with a word that evokes the deepest boon or blessing of that card, and paired with both a plant and a mineral ally that can help us engage with the medicine of each card with greater intention and energetic support.

They are my effort to make the magic of the tarot more tangible, the medicine of the tarot more accessible, and the message of the tarot easier to take to heart—an intentional and intuitive topical tool for all who are called to the tarot’s healing and space-holding capacity, whether or not you’re an “expert” at reading the cards or have memorized what they represent.

They are my absolute pride and joy, and I pour every single one with the hope that it finds its way into the hands of someone who will truly love it.

[ make space for POTENTIAL ]

The fool asks us to remember that we first have to fall in order to truly fly.

This balm has been crafted with horsetail—the present-day form of the ancient plant ancestor from which all of our present plantlife emerged—and infused with the luck of green aventurine. They remind you to follow fate to the cliffside where everything is created, test the wind before flinging yourself off the edge, and then trust your heart to soar.

The natural scent of the plant-infused oil has been enhanced with lemon, nutmeg, eucalyptus, and hyssop. Clean and bracing, it asks you first to take a deep breath and then brings just enough sweet promise to encourage you to release it. It's like a cosmic cough drop for the soul.

[ ingredients ]

organic olive oil infused with wildcrafted horsetail, jojoba oil, beeswax, essential oils (lemon, nutmeg, eucalyptus, hyssop), magic & love

[ how to use ]

These balms can be applied externally anywhere you would use lotion. They will provide the same protection and skin-softening benefits as any moisturizer, particularly when used to care for cracked or calloused skin.

They can also be used intentionally, to assist you in embodying something new. To explore the balm in this fashion, you can use it however feels right to you. If you’re not sure, or if you’d like some suggestions, I include a brief guided practice with each balm you purchase, perfect for trying out yourself or offering as a supportive gift to a friend.

If you’d really like to go deep with this work, check out my listing for the spiritual self-care package. It comes with instructions for a more involved experiential practice that can help you get in touch with the energy of the card itself through a guided exploration of the balm you need most.

[ questions, quandaries & other fine print ]

This is a product that is handcrafted from natural ingredients that vary in appearance, consistency, and potency. Use with care. You will not receive the exact balm pictured in the listing. Some variation in texture on the freshly poured balms is natural and should disappear with use. Twist to open.

Due to the nature of this product, I’m not able to accept returns. That being said, if you receive something that seems strange or incorrect, get in touch and I’ll do my best to make it right.

This product will melt in the sun, so make sure you check your mailbox promptly on those warm summer days! If your balm does melt, it should reconstitute at exactly the same texture…it just won’t be as pretty. :)
