The Dark Dragon (Soap)

I have been making soap all week and formulating new potions. Today I brewed up some really lovely black copal and dragon's blood like I have never brewed before. I remembered something.
As I was melting my resins and their vapors slowly enticed my brain I was able to dive in deep to this blend and come out with perhaps a "Come To Me" Soap

You heard me. I said, come to me. Come with all your honest dirty truths and I'll wash them clean away. But never think of me as a dirty whore or the magic will delay.


Oh, sorry, I got carried away.

To these two resins, I added a bit of cedar and fir and a touch of benzoin, some juniper berries and steeped saffron black pepper and a touch and I mean a smidge of bergamot.
Just enough brightness bergamot opens your heart closed by grief to receive and give joy. You have to clear the way and make room right?

review on diatomaceous earth and black salt soap

It looks vicious really. I mean some of the salt went in to to a leaky phase at first and now it has dried in to little salt hills all over it. When you first wash with it it feels like it might be rough on the bod babe, but it isn't. It is slick at first and then gives you some lather. Some lather because olive oil, isn't quick to give much to begin with. I only added a little bit of coconut oil (cold pressed organic) and the rest is all fossil powder. I never planned it to be a charcoal based soap but it turns out the salt I put in it is loaded with it.
Diatomaceous Earth is really rich in silica and it turns out that our bodies are too. Our hair and teeth and nails all are silica based and life cannot exist without it.
