Last Rites - small batch natural artisan soap crafted with funerary herbs to aid in transitions and honor loss

Last Rites was crafted with herbs traditionally part of funeral practices and honoring the dead; including frankincense, myrrh, sage, rosemary, lavender, thyme and eucalyptus. These herbs have a myriad of benefits for the living as well- from deodorizing, to toning and rejuvenating the skin.

Colors associated with mourning practices were chosen for Last Rites soap: white from kaolin clay, gray from ground lavender flowers, and black from activated charcoal which all provide gentle exfoliation and beneficial skin nutrients.

This soap was made as an aid in honoring and releasing your former self in times of metamorphosis, symbolic death, and transfiguration. 

Last Rites came about initially to honor the lessons from the Death tarot card. Roots & Sky was invited to collaborate with Nicole the Feral Herbalist's Tarot Tea monthly subscription series for Chicago's Into the Feral in the Avondale neighborhood. This soap will not be available in my shop until after the Death Tarot box becomes available to her subscribers in November 2024.
