Whisper of the Divine
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: 2020/05 - May
Wherever Debbie Delany steps, it seems she’s surrounded by flowers.
She’s the walking center of a lifetime bouquet. It’s no wonder. The sweet sap that runs in garden stems and limbs also runs in the blood of her family tree. Her great aunt painted flowers and botanicals on canvas, miniature to larger-than-life. Other family members were exquisite gardeners, and some, she believes, were botanists. Having a garden filled with herbs, flowers, shrubs, and vegetables was as essential to her family’s household as a stove is to a kitchen.
“My passions are for color, flowers, gardening, and the beauty that comes from all those things. Combining these elements equals the work I do now,” Debbie says.
That work is running Romany Botanicals, a business she launched about five years ago.
Romany references Gypsies, who live close to the earth. Debbie finds their culture not only fascinating but essential when it comes to the natural tinctures, potions, oils, serums, tonics and elixirs in the Romany medicine chest.
As she approached her 50th birthday, she trusted that journeying alongside herbal and flower allies would ease her passage through life changes … in hues of rose, lavender and poppy. She studied the ancient art of capturing the plant spirit of flowers, creating vibrational remedies known as Flower Essences, along with formulas for herbal tinctures, infusions and much more.
As a result of her dedicated study, she navigated life’s change beautifully, and it gave birth to a blossoming business.
A self-taught artist, Debbie designs all her labels, calligraphy, brochures, and marketing illustrations. Her packaging is as lovely as the hand-cultivated and curated contents.
What’s on Debbie’s horizon? She’s journaled daily for a dozen years. She plans on coupling that with her new life adventures in Highlands.
She says, “I’ll incorporate the story of the land that I now live on, the cabin I live in, and people who built it. Their spirits live on in this place as do their Native American predecessors. It’s a work in progress but getting closer to fruition every day.”
