How the KUTA Essences came into being.

The very first KUTA Essence to be created was KUTA-0 (Venus Eclipse of the Sun), and we had no idea this would inadvertently be the start of a system of essences that was originally nicknamed the DnA Essences (DnA stood for Dianna and Al). We'd been dishing out DnA Essences via word of mouth for years, but it was finally time to bring these essences to a wider audience because the state of the current times demands it. So we've rebranded, with a website and logo for the essences in the hopes of reaching more people who might need a KUTA.

KUTA-01 (Stanton Drew Stone Circle) was one I sought out because I adore being near and around stone circles having spent some time with them during my shamanic training, and having watched the sun rise over Stonehenge one Winter Solstice morning while I was nestled in the centre of the stones. We sang the sun up - a truly magical moment!

​I was also part of the team that helped build Joe Strummer's Stone Circle in the first week construction began. There's a great write-up about this on Ivan McBeth's site. Building the alters and calling the Dragons was a stunning experience, and I was there up until the point the North Stone went in - then, I had to leave.

Years later, I wanted to be around stone circles again, so after speaking to Alastair about it, off we went to Stanton Drew. We stayed in a farm right next to the Stanton Drew Stone Circle. We didn't initially know we were going to make an essence there - I just wanted to go and soak in the energy for myself - but it just seemed so right once we arrived. We bought our bottling equipment whilst there - it was so unexpected we hadn't come prepared. Our intention was then to make the essence in the middle of the night with no one else around, but an almighty thunderstorm rocked the skies and we were chased away from the stones by the lightning - this is not an exaggeration! It chased us for about fifteen minutes until we finally found cover under the roof of a petrol station, our thought being that the station must be kitted out with a copper rod to avoid the lighting potentially hitting petrol. The lightning then hit the field about ten feet in front of us across the road - we could smell the burn in the air. We'd only just escaped!

Back we went the next day, and it turned out to be a beautiful, sunny, Beltane - quite literally the calm after the storm. After this, we were a little addicted. Every year we were called to another sacred site and this time, we went prepared with essence making equipment.

Thus, five unique essences were born and completes this system, all with their own magic contained within. From the beginning, this would be a series of potent liquids that dug deep into your soul and pushed you to make needed changes. 

The time for the KUTA Essences is now, during these phases of extraordinary planetary alignments over the past few years, and those still to come, marking the Earth Shift many have known was coming. We're delighted to be able to bring these essences to you, because, lord knows, we all need a good kick up the arse now.

A final note: once the original five KUTA Essences are gone - they are gone. They are as transitional as the energy they carry - those have always been our instructions: they were from a certain time for a certain time. Now.

Our next essences will be new systems from new places, for new times.
