Because they correspond to the primordial, essential and original uses of ancestral perfumery, I have created Shamanic Fragrances, called Sacred Essences.
In order to benefit from these essences to their full potentiel, it’s important to understand their special nature. They are not designed to treat specific pathologies or problems. Their effects are not standardized; they work in a different way for each individual. These products are unique. They are the result of a synergy between the traditions of French perfumery, the herbalism of the Indigenous America, several shamanic technologies and my own understanding of the sacred nature of the human being.
I see the human being as a repository of immense power, the sum of all the energies of the universe. Some sacred texts express this idea by saying that we have been created in the image of Great Spirit, or God, the creator of this world. While it’s not necessary to adhere to this belief for the Essences to do their work, this perspective helps us to better understand the intention behind their creation.
All human beings possess immense potential. In psychology, Jung and Freud referred to this immense reservoir as the unconscious and the collective unconscious. Spontaneous and miraculous healing has always defied medical and scientific knowledge. This innate potential gives us access to unsuspected powers, for we are divine beings endowed with infinite strength and potential. Where Jung and Freud did not go further is in recognizing that we can become aware of our eternal spirit and thus access all the knowledge and abilities that lie dormant within us.
The sacred scents I’ve created act on what some therapists call “le terrain” the foundation. This is the psychic structure that underlies our physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual being. This terrain contains our natural powers of healing and fulfillment, which are often invisible and unsuspected. Sacred Essences awaken the unconscious memory of these powers and guide us to express our full potential. Whether it is healing, manifesting abundance, clarity, love, joy, or any other desire, these scents act as keys that open the doors to these realizations. They are encoded to act as triggers and catalysts for each individual’s innate potential. That’s why they work differently for each individual: we are all unique.
It is therefore impossible to assign a specific effect to each fragrance or to prescribe an Essence for a specific problem. The best way to choose an essence is to trust your intuition. Let yourself be guided by that which awakens happy memories, potential for exploration, or deep inspiration. The music I’ve composed can accompany this experience, as can any natural music (without electronic instruments or synthetic sounds). The ideal is to experience this awakening in nature, but these fragrances can also be worn on a daily basis, at work or at home. They are made from 100% natural ingredients and won’t bother anyone. Each person can choose the best way to use these essences, the essential thing being to listen to their sensations with openness and spontaneity.

Here’s an example of how each of us finds a unique use for these Sacred Fragrances.
The first Sacred Essence I created was CHIIYAAM. Its original purpose was to purify places and people without resorting to the fumigation of sacred herbs, called smudging by our Nations, especially in environments where this was impossible, such as hospitals. After three years of research, I was surprised to find that its effectiveness far exceeded that of traditional methods. This inspired me to make it available. It was soon adopted by therapists and healers in a dozen countries.
Its use has produced some unexpected results. Some users have found that spraying their pillow with Chiiyaam has helped them return to deep sleep despite persistent insomnia problems. A construction worker found that a few sprays on a sore spot instantly relieved his pain. It has been used to calm a class of rambunctious children and different anxious animals. But the most amazing experience came from a workshop leader at the end of a particularly intense weekend course. The flowers offered at the beginning of the workshop and placed in the center of the circle looked very low, leaning toward the ground. The organizer stood up and said: “Look, Blue Eagle, what we can do with your liquid smudge. She sprayed some on her hands and passed it around the flowers. In a few moments, the flowers raised up before the astonished eyes of thirty participants.
This example illustrates the unique nature of Sacred Essences. They act as intention amplifiers, catalyzing the psychic energies of those who use them. This organizer’s incredible demonstration would not have been possible for anyone else. But because of her faith, enthusiasm, and confidence, the cleansing and healing virtues of the Liquid Smudge were multiplied tenfold! This example illustrates the special nature of Sacred Essences.
CHIIYAAM LIQUID SMUDGE was designed to purify, protect, heal and stimulate inspiration and creativity, with an emphasis on purification. Next, I created MIWAH, a well-being essence designed to attract beneficial, harmonious energies. Unlike Chiiyaam, which soothes, Miwah energizes. Its more persistent fragrance makes it a popular choice as an everyday fragrance. It’s main ingredient, foremost among the 22 essential oils in its composition, is sweet grass, traditionally used by Native Americans to invoke beneficial energies and favorable circumstances.
Later, I developed scents for the five elements.
I devote much of my time to creating and distributing Sacred Essences, helping to awaken the sacred potential and well-being of those who use them. Please take the time to explore them on invocation.ca .
