The Embodied Mariposa

10/27/2026

Love • Self-Love • Confidence • Receiving • Divine Feminine

To be loved, to be desired, and to remember that you are worthy of receiving.

Inspired by The Empress tarot card and created in devotion to Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and desire, this ritual oil invites you to reconnect with your own beauty, sensuality, and capacity to receive.

The Empress reminds us that abundance is not always something we must chase. Sometimes, it is something we allow ourselves to welcome.

This oil was created to honor the softer, more receptive aspects of love while nurturing confidence, self-worth, and the divine feminine within us.

Whether you are calling in romantic love, deepening your relationship with yourself, embracing your sensuality, or learning to receive the affection and support you so freely give others, The Empress invites you to remember your worth.

Ends tonight! 💃🏽

Sometimes we make plans, and sometimes our bodies have other plans for us. 🦋

I’m so bummed to share that I won’t be making it to tonight’s market at Southern Craft Grove. I’m feeling under the weather, and as someone living with chronic illness, I’ve learned that sometimes plans have to change, no matter how much preparation and excitement went into them.

It doesn’t make it any less disappointing, though. Especially when you’ve poured so much love into creating and preparing. 🥲

But part of this journey is learning to honor my body’s needs, even when I’d rather be doing something else. So we’re resting, regrouping, and pivoting!

LET’S HAVE AN ONLINE MARKET SALE! ✨

Enjoy 20% OFF the online shop!

Victoria locals, remember that porch pickup is available! Orders can be picked up once I’m feeling better.

Thank you for supporting this little dream of mine through all the changes, pivots, and seasons of life.

Here’s to practicing what I preach, even when I’m a little grumpy about it. 😒😂❤️

This year, I had the honor of creating an ofrenda for the Día de los Mu***os exhibit at The Nave Museum in Victoria, Texas.

Las Manos Que Curan is an offering of remembrance, gratitude, and reverence for the curanderas, curanderos, and healers who came before us. Those who tended to the sick, comforted the grieving, prayed over their communities, worked with the plants and the earth, and passed down healing traditions through generations.

My ofrenda honors healers such as Don Pedrito Jaramillo, El Niño Fidencio, María Sabina, and Elena Avila, alongside my own grandmother and the countless healers whose names may never be widely known, but whose hands and hearts left lasting legacies.

The display is meant to resemble a working curandera’s space, filled with herbs, tools, prayers, ancestral photographs, and the sacred traditions that continue to guide my own work.

During the exhibit, I’ll also be bringing a very special oil to rest upon this altar.

Las Manos Que Curan is a healing oil created for those who care for others and those who need care themselves. For parents, caregivers, therapists, healers, and anyone whose hands have offered comfort to another.

It will remain on the altar throughout the exhibit, being consecrated in this sacred space as we welcome and honor the spirits of the healers who came before us. My intention is for this oil to carry a prayer for healing, protection, comfort, and the reminder that even those who spend their lives healing others deserve to be held and healed themselves.

I hope that when this oil eventually makes its way into your hands, it feels like an invitation to receive the same tenderness you so freely offer others.

It’s been a Twilight marathon, couch, and slow-moving kind of week. 🖤🌙🐺

While I’ve been taking some much-needed time to rest and recharge, I’ve also been working behind the scenes to get some new offerings added to The Embodied Mariposa website!

🐚The Empress, The Chariot & The Lovers Devotional oils inspired by Aphrodite, Ares, and the love, strength, and sacred union they represent. I’m also excited to share that all three will be available together in beautiful rose quartz roller bottles, exclusively as a set! Perfect for carrying these devotional oils with you.

👐🏽 Las Manos Que Curan
This one is especially close to my heart. A healing oil created for caregivers, parents, healers, and anyone who spends their days holding space for others. A reminder that those who offer healing deserve to receive it, too. This limited batch will be consecrated on my curandera altar at The Nave Museum, honoring the healers and ancestors who came before us.

🕯️ Ritual Tea Lights
Little candles with big intentions! My dressed ritual tea lights are now available in packs of five, created for prayer, offerings, altar work, and everyday rituals.

There’s something really beautiful about creating offerings for others while also learning to honor my own need for rest. Even if that rest involves watching Bella make questionable decisions for several days straight. 🤣🐀 and the cringey facial expressions that somehow made us all fall in love with Robert Pattinson til this day 🥰

Everything has been added to the shop!

Thank you for continuing to support my little business, even during the slower seasons. Your support allows me to keep creating with intention, honoring my traditions, and sharing this work with you.

Las Manos Que Curan | Ancestral Healing Oil 🕯️🤲🏼

For the hands that heal, the hearts that hold, and those who deserve to be held, too. 🫂

In honor of Día de los Mu***os, I am preparing a limited batch of Las Manos Que Curan, an ancestral healing oil rooted in Mexican curanderismo, created with the intention of offering comfort, compassion, protection, and restoration.

But what makes this oil especially sacred to me is where it will spend its time before making its way into your hands.

This batch will be consecrated upon my ofrenda, Las Manos Que Curan, at the Nave Museum’s Día de los Mu***os exhibition.

My ofrenda is dedicated to the curanderas, curanderos, and ancestral healers whose knowledge, traditions, and healing hands have touched generations.

It will be a working curandera’s table, filled with herbs, pawahtzli (healing tools), copal, candles, and the familiar elements of traditional Mexican healing. Alongside it, a three-tiered ofrenda will welcome home the spirits of healers who have walked before us.

Among those being honored are Don Pedrito Jaramillo, Elena Avila, El Niño Fidencio, and María Sabina, alongside my own grandmother and other healers whose names may not be widely known, but whose wisdom lives on through the people they cared for.

For the duration of the exhibition, this oil will rest upon the altar, surrounded by their photographs, offerings, and the intentions of remembrance, gratitude, and healing.

An offering to the ancestors. A prayer for those carrying their work forward.

Las Manos Que Curan is for the curandera who has spent her life tending to others. The parent comforting a sick child. The therapist holding space for grief. The nurse, doctor, Reiki practitioner, caregiver, or friend who continually shows up with open hands and an open heart.

It’s for the person who is hurting, grieving, exhausted, or simply longing to feel cared for.

Because healing is not only something we give. It is something we deserve to receive.

This oil is a reminder that the hands that cleanse, comfort, nurture, and hold others are worthy of that same tenderness.

Que las manos que curan también sean sanadas.
May the hands that heal also be healed.

This will be a limited batch, consecrated during the 2026 Día de los Mu***os exhibition. Once this batch is gone, this particular ancestral consecration cannot be recreated.

Created with love, reverence, and gratitude for those who came before us, and for those who continue the work.

Para sanar, cuidar y recibir cuidado. 🤎

Let’s play a game 🙊

Aphrodite. Ares. And the beautiful alchemy of their union. ❤️‍🔥

Three devotional oils. Three different intentions. Two divine energies woven together through love, courage, passion, and devotion.

What makes this collection especially meaningful is that Chris and I worked on these oils together. He was the mastermind behind his favorite part…the scenting. And I have to say, he captured the essence of each intention perfectly

Each oil carries its own intention:

🌹 The Empress — call in Love, beauty, confidence, self-worth, softness to receive and the nurturing energy of Aphrodite.

⚔️ The Chariot — Courage, discipline, strength, boundaries, and the protective energy of Ares.

❤️‍🔥 The Lovers — Harmony, passion, devotion, mutual support, and the sacred balance of two energies coming together. The protection of Ares and Aphrodite of your union.

And now for a little game… CAN YOU GUESS WHICH JAR IS WHICH? 👀

To celebrate this collection, I’m giving one person a set of all THREE devotional oils in 0.5 oz bottles!

✨ HOW TO ENTER:

1. Follow
2. Comment your guesses from LEFT to RIGHT using The Empress, The Chariot, and The Lovers.
3. Tag someone who would love this collection! 🫶🏽

Every correct guess will be entered into a random drawing for the complete trio.

These oils are still being lovingly prepared, and I can’t wait to share them with you. They will drop on the website in 1oz bottles this Venus day (10/23).

Giveaway closes Friday, 10/23 at 8pm CST. Winner selected at random from eligible correct entries!
