Alchemical Herbal Medicines
Welcome to Morningstar Medicinals, where both science and spirituality are blended into each bottle according to the ancient alchemical art of Spagyria.
I'm Dannica
Hesci, Dannica cvhocefkvt os. Ete'kerrvkat heres! (Hello, my name is Dannica. Pleased to meet you!)
Dannica means "Morningstar" and I am the herbal alchemist at Morningstar Medicinals. I draw inspiration from all facets of my lineage in my medicine-making, integrating Indigenous Wisdom with European Spagyric Alchemy to provide a truly holistic offering of plant medicines that mirror both the cosmology and the biology– as above, so below. As within, so without. As is Creator, so I am. Every bottle reflects within it the fractality of nature.
I am dedicated to preserving the ancient ways, both in my own lineage and in the lineage of Spagyria.
What is Spagyric Alchemy?
Alchemy is the "chemistry of God." Alchemy is, above all, a science of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, mind and body, immortality and mortality.
Spagyria, or the branch of alchemy concerning plants, means "to separate and reawaken."
This is the process of separating subtle aspects of the plant, purifying them, and then reintegrating them so that they may reawaken as the truest, evolved expression. This refers to the cyclical nature of "birth, life, death, rebirth" that occurs in every micro- and macrocosm in this known universe, including the evolution of human consciousness.
The Spagyric alchemical process of medicine making mirrors this natural cycle of spiritual purification so that with each administration of plant medicine, we administer the magic of the whole, fractal cosmos to support us in our own multidimensional soul-mind-body integrative healing.
The Trinity of Spagyria
The Tria Prima: The Primordial Elements of Life
-
Sulfur
The Principle of Sulfur represents the Soul, or as we would say in Mvskoke, the Sacred Fire. There is a relation to the Fire Element and the Internal Flame being the core, essential nature of a being. Soul is our own unique embodiment of Creator. The Soul, or Sulfur, of a plant is the essential oils or, in some cases, the resin, which are all unique to the individual plant.
-
Mercury
The Principle of Mercury represents the Mind. In Alchemy, this principle of psyche is called the Spirit. It is the One Spirit that moves through and animates all of Life, the bridge between Soul, our unique expression of Life, and the body. All plants yield ethyl alcohol or spirits when fermented, a process symbolic of death. Therefore, the universal Spirit, or Mercury, of a plant is the alcohol it either releases or is extracted within, as it contains the universal intelligence.
-
Salt
The final principle, the Principle of Salt, is often forgotten in Western Herbalism. This is the principle of materiality. This is the body of the plant, which is often discarded after the extraction process. In Spagyrics, the remains of the plant are purified and crystallized into mineral salts, and returned to the extracts, completing the alchemical process of Soul-Mind-Body purification.

Let customers speak for us
This became my new favorite sweatshirt instantly! I am in love with the design, and the quality of the material and fit are wonderful!
I am 5'4" and 135 lbs. I bought a large and it is a nice loose fit.
Absolutely love this shirt! The quality is top tier and I got so many compliments on it :)
I just started taking this and already feel a difference. I take a little in the morning and a little in the evening, and it's like someone pulled the plug on my anxiety tank and it just washed away, I will definitely be buying more!
I purchased the Anarchy tshirt. The picture doesn’t do it justice. The design is beautiful. The quality is excellent
Such amazing quality!! It’s insanely comfortable and the colors are absolutely perfect. I got a medium and it’s so cozy I’m never taking it off 🤣
I started taking this tincture post discontinuation of prescription medication for my anxiety! Within a day, I could tell that my “frazzled nervous system” was self regulating more efficiently post d/c of the Big Pharma meds that I’d been on for over 20 years! I’m a RN, and am aware of the dangerous side effects that coincide with complete discontinuation of antianxylitoc medication, and this tincture absolutely helped with these possible outcomes!
5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️
I purchased the yellow honeycomb market bag and I’ve loved taking it to the beach, or shopping. This is my second bag and it is beautiful and functional. These bags are the perfect accessory for carrying all kinds of goodies. I love mine!
First off, I love Fire Cider and have used from many different places. This is by far MY FAV!!! It packs a punch so you can feel that it's working however, ITS SO SMOOTH. Usually I have to follow by something when taking a shot, but not with this one. I recently used to help aid in mucus relief after a bacterial infection in my lungs and it helped so much. Even my 10 year old approved (and she does not like fire cider lol) Will definitely be keeping this in stock!
These work exactly as described! Love how they roll off easier than actual paper towels and you cant beat the cute patterns and great material used!! Purchased 2 sets and I am so happy I did!
I only need 5 drops to feel super chill! Great for anxiety and insomnia.
I cannot wait until it's in stock again! 😍 I got my parents hooked on it, too.
I purchased 3 of the RENEW paperless paper towels! 1 for myself & 2 as gift’s because I love to share these special hand made items with people I love. They are beautiful, made of great material & so functional, and the cute colorful designs make me smile everytime I see them.
Dependable and effective deoderant that feels good to use everyday. I will keep buying it!
