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 Apron Revival
On this website, you'll also find sewn goods that are designed and handmade by my mother and me. The humble apron, specifically, has played such a potent role in our lineage and familial traditions. We are absolutely delighted to share this thread of our history with you so that you may have heirloom aprons to pass down in your family, as well.
