Ashes of Oracles
Some recipes were never written down. They were whispered.
Forgotten Blends are not simply elixirs—they are echoes.
Stirred from ancient hands, carried across lifetimes,
they are vessels of memory and unspoken truths.
Ashes of the Oracle
Ancient Origin: No origin remains—only the smoke.
Some believe it never had an origin—only memory.
There are whispers that before the temples rose, before gods had names, there were Oracles—living conduits who did not divine the future, but dismantled illusions. They were not seers. They were revealers.
It is said they burned herbs not to offer them to the divine, but to inhale forgotten truths. They drank bitter brews that forced the mind into surrender. This blend is theirs. It remembers.
