Calamus Water is an incredible way to work with this powerful ally.
Medicinally, Acornus Calamus has a wide range of uses: it is used as a digestive tonic, a non-sedative relaxant, to soothe sore vocal chords, increase vocal range and "connect the heart with the voice" (leading to its nickname "singer's root"). It's known for being granting a calm alertness, and was traditionally used by Native North Americans on long journeys. It is also considered a memory booster and brain tonic in many traditions. Bringing together all these virtues, Calamus was used by Ayurvedic practitioners for reciting the Upanishads.*
In conjure, we work with Calamus root for influence, domination and control - to bend others to our will and draw them to our point of view.
Magically, Calamus is used for influence, domination and control. It is used in situations ranging from gossip to workplace conflicts to swinging the balance of power in relationships and business to beating others at cards. The root has been burned as incense since antiquity, and it is an ingredient in both the holy temple incense and holy anointing oil of the Old Testament.
This Calamus water is steam distilled in a traditional copper alembic, carrying a warming sweet, woody, slightly spicy aroma that centers and empowers.
*ALWAYS consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using ANY medicine internally.
