This soap includes nettles like those I collected and prepared with a professional forager in the Irish countryside. I infused olive oil with nettle and cannabis to create the murky green hue.

Named for my time visiting the bogs in Ireland where medieval villagers would deposit the ritually dismembered remains of the Nobles or Kings who they’d sacrificed and submerged as offerings to appease their gods in hopes of better weather and crop seasons. Their remains have been found remarkably preserved in the aseptic peat bogs throughout the country and were on display in the national museum in Dublin.

Visiting the peat bogs was profound. This rare ecosystem supports a unique set of species and is valuable for purifying water that flows through it. While traditionally dried into bricks and burnt as an energy source, peat is unsustainably harvested as a gardening amendment sold around the world. The harvest destroys that ecosystem. Given the slow regeneration rate - growing about a yard deep every thousand years, it will be gone in our lifetime unless we stop harvesting it. Avoid peat products and additives in potting soil and seed starters. Instead use coconut coir, compost, leaf mold, sawdust, shredded bark or wood chips.
