THE HiDDEN SPRiNG
"Where Water Whispers and Lilies Bloom"
There are places in the Appalachian wilderness untouched by time—where the air hums with magic, and water lilies bloom like whispers from another world as if the veil between worlds is thin.
Legends speak of hidden springs deep within the mountains, places where water lilies drift across the surface like secrets waiting to be uncovered. Some believe these springs hold healing powers, their untouched waters infused with the wisdom of the land. Others claim that when lilies float down the stream, it means spirits have passed through, leaving behind only the softest ripples in their wake.
But beware—if a single lily blooms alone in an unexpected place, it is said to be an omen. For some, it promises great fortune; for others, deep sorrow. The mountains do not give their answers easily.

PHANTOM BLOOM
"Flower of fortune, bloom of warning—what will the peony reveal to you?"
Deep in the misty hollows of Appalachia, peonies have long been seen as keepers of fate. Their blossoms, full and fragrant, were planted near homes to bring love, prosperity, and protection—but their magic came with a price. If a peony bush suddenly failed to bloom, it was seen as a silent warning, an omen of great sorrow or change ahead.
One legend speaks of a woman who planted a peony outside her mountain cabin, watching over it each spring as it burst into life. Year after year, the blooms were bright and abundant—until the season her husband passed. That spring, only a single pale blossom appeared, and by the next year, the bush bore no flowers at all. Even after she was gone, some say she could still be seen tending to invisible petals beneath the full moon, her spirit forever waiting for the flowers to bloom again.
Scent Profile:
Cherry Blossom, Peach, Citrus – A bright, delicate opening, like early morning sunlight on soft petals, warm yet fleeting.

BLUE BOTTLE DREAMS
"A whisper in the wind, a vision in the night"
In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, where the veil between worlds is thin, the Blue Bottle Dream Spell was a ritual for those seeking guidance, fortune, or hidden truths. On the night of a full moon, a single blue flower was placed inside a cobalt glass bottle and set upon a windowsill. By morning, the state of the bloom would foretell one’s fate—if it remained fresh, good fortune was near; if it wilted, a warning lay ahead. Some claimed that the moonlight filtering through the bottle’s deep blue glass carried dreams of the future, revealing love, destiny, or the whisper of spirits yet unseen.

ROSES BY THE DOOR
"A bloom for protection, a scent for blessings"
Deep in the Appalachian hills, roses were planted by front doors not just for beauty, but for protection. It was said that evil could not pass where roses grew, their tangled vines forming a barrier against ill intent, wandering spirits, and restless haints. Some believed the scent of a freshly blooming rose at the threshold was a sign of good fortune, welcoming love and prosperity into the home.
In old mountain tradition, rose petals were scattered on doorsteps during times of sorrow to keep misfortune from lingering, and a bowl of rosewater by the entryway was said to bless all who crossed into the home. Whether a charm for peace or a silent warning to the unseen, the presence of a rose by the door meant a house well-protected.
Scent Profile:
Lily of the Valley, Green Leaves, Pear – A fresh, delicate opening, like the crisp mountain air drifting through a garden, soft with the early bloom of flowers.
