2026 Elder Council Set

What are you ready to release to the four elements?

Elder Council in 2026 is an invitation to compost what has run its course and release it to the elements so you can move with greater freedom and clarity into a new cycle. This is the year to offer your stories, patterns, and burdens to earth, air, fire, and water, trusting your elders, guides, and ascended masters to transform what you cannot carry forward. As we cross the threshold from a 9-year period of shedding into the 10-year period of simultaneous endings/beginnings, this work becomes a sacred release, clearing space for wiser choices, deeper peace, and a more truthful expression of who you are.

What is Elder Council?

When seeking deep, life-altering wisdom, go to the elders. The elders are your soul’s lineage, the ancient wise ones who gather outside the realms of time and space to offer guidance from the spirit world. This sacred communion is Elder Council. Enter with humility, respect, and reverence.

With this set, you’ll receive:

• Release to Air Incense
• Release to Water Perfume
• Release to Fire Candle
• Release to Earth Shungite Vogel

I lead quarterly Elder Council meditations in my SG Living YOUniversity program, and it’s a potent spiritual experience where decades of wisdom are transferred in minutes and incredible shifts in lifetimes of patterns occur. Our next Elder Council will be held on January 27, 2026, from 4 to 6 pm (PST), and you’re invited to step into this sacred container of release and remembrance.

The Deeper Magic of Elder Council

When I started Sage Goddess, my first online class was called the Magical Sabbatical, and the first Elder Council, which my spirit guides said I was ready to do, even though I went kicking and screaming because it felt so daunting, led me to an older part of San Francisco and an apothecary owned by a straight-up Atlantean descendant of Thoth. He even looked like Thoth. On the hottest San Francisco summer days, he still burned a fire in his fireplace and told me stories of Egypt. I loved him. He was so well respected as a shopkeeper and wisdom weaver for decades that he was invited to sun dances and shamanic vision quests across traditions and timelines. Everyone could see and feel his magic. And then, suddenly, he died almost ten years ago.

He blended incense in the old ways, kept it in big jars with handwritten labels, and measured it out without measuring, if you know what I mean. He would tell you what you needed and why you would need it. We have so few true seers anymore. I knew he knew. Now, all these years later, I look at each label with gratitude because they were his while he was here. This is the medicine of Elder Council. Enjoy the true magic while it lives. It is precious.

There are seven main ingredients in the Elder Council blend (I keep the specific recipe close, as my friend did with his own), and then, like the old days, a pinch or two of his original blend of more than 14 essential oils and herbs (which I have very little left of now, with no way to recreate). He never even told ME the full list of ingredients!

These sacred tools open the doorways to the Elder Council:

One (1) Release to Earth Shungite Vogel (6-6.5”), custom-made just for SG with stone sourced from Russia. This Vogel is a powerful ally for deep composting work, helping you send what you are ready to release down into the soil of creation. Shungite is an almost pure carbon master healer and potent energetic filter that draws out old beliefs, attachments, and dysfunctional patterns from your field, clears the aura, and supports healing through all the Chakras, especially the Root and Earth Star for strong, stabilizing grounding. Held in the precision cut shape of a double terminated Vogel, this tool receives energy at the wide receptive end, amplifies it, and transmits it through the narrow focal tip like a laser, directing clearing energy exactly where it is needed as you offer your burdens back to the earth to be transmuted.

One (1) Release to Air Incense (15g). Handcrafted here at SG and housed in an amber apothecary-style jar, this incense is made with herbs and resins of myrrh, frankincense, sweetgrass, blue sage, blue vervain, and makko to create a truly sacred smoke. Then infused with oils of rose, frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, and palo santo, it also carries a touch of OG Elder Council magic, an earthy and mystical synergy of more than twenty all-natural essences, including sandalwood, cedar, white sage, and ceremonial tobacco, to open the way to your elders with reverence and power.

One (1) Release to Fire Candle (3.4oz). Hand-poured here at SG, this candle comes in a grey votive jar with a gold cap, filled with a red soy wax blend infused with notes of frankincense, myrrh, palo santo, sweetgrass, and white sage to ignite clearing and sacred transformation. It holds a tumbled bronzite inside and is crowned with gold leaf, black glitter, a clear quartz point, and a touch of OG Elder Council magic, an earthy and mystical synergy of more than twenty all natural essences, including sandalwood, cedar, white sage, and ceremonial tobacco, creating a powerful beacon of protection, courage, and amplified intention as you offer what you are ready to release to the flame.

One (1) Release to Water Perfume (10ml). Handcrafted here at SG, this perfume arrives in a clear glass roller bottle with a purple cap and is infused with a smoky quartz chip stone to support emotional clearing and protection. Its scent weaves rose, frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, and palo santo with a touch of OG Elder Council magic, an earthy and mystical blend of more than twenty all-natural essences, including sandalwood, cedar, white sage, and ceremonial tobacco, creating a current of fragrance that carries what you are ready to release into the healing waters.

This listing is for one (1) 2026 Elder Council Set (as described above). Yours will arrive lovingly parceled and ready for your enjoyment.

Blessings,
Athena
