Welcome to The Mythoanimist Path

Writings on Alchemy & Animism

Here, I weave the narrative and archetypal wisdom of mythos with the enlivened and reverent nature of animism. May these words offer you a portal into the wild beauty of the earth, the cosmos, and your own true nature.

About the Human Here

Hi. I’m Juniper. Yes that’s my given name, and yes I love trees. I’m an artist at heart, hoping to create beauty and catalyze awakening through word, color, and alchemy.

A lifelong student of consciousness and spirituality, I’ve trained with diverse spiritual guides and mentors worldwide, including a two-year teacher training in shamanism with Sandra Ingerman; extensive training in yoga, pranayama, and meditation; and ongoing studies in alchemy, astrology, and Hermetic magick.

As a botanical alchemist, I’ve completed a 610-hour clinical aromatherapy certification and two-year herbalism training, and I continue to enjoy formal mentorship with the preeminent natural perfumer’s today. I have dedicated my life to studying plant communication, wildcrafting, flower essences, and rewilding, apprenticing with both humans and the plants themselves.

At the center of all I bring to the world are creativity and beauty. I hold a bachelor’s degree in studio art, and my mixed media paintings have been featured and sold in galleries both locally and internationally. By bringing together the art, aroma, and artistry of classical perfumery with spiritual alchemy, I create perfumes that offer truly transcendent fragrances.

My lineage is strongly influenced by personal study with my mentor, Sandra Ingerman, as well as Betsy Bergstrom, Jessika Siroi, Merlin Kenney, Anya McCoy, Roxanna Villa, Richard Miller, and many more. My primary teachers, however, are the spirits themselves: the ancestors, the spirits of plants and fungi, and the myriad beings who support our journeys from beyond the veil.
