The Awakening of Psykhe

The Legend behind Clarity of Psykhe

Who is Psykhe?

In Greek mythology, Psykhe was a mortal woman whose beauty rivaled that of the goddesses—so much so that it drew the envy of Aphrodite herself. But her story was never just about beauty. Through trials set by the gods, Psykhe proved herself with qualities far rarer: resilience, clarity, and the ability to endure without losing her sense of self.

She faced challenges that could not be won through force—tasks that demanded patience, focus, and a steady mind. Psykhe’s journey was one of transformation, where every obstacle became a step toward inner strength.

That is why we chose her name for this formula. The ten mushrooms in Psykhe’s blend each have centuries of tradition behind them—gathered from mountains, forests, and farmlands across the world. Like Psykhe’s trials, their value comes from endurance, balance, and the quiet power that builds over time.


From Myth to Formula

The story of Psykhe isn’t just a piece of mythology—it’s a blueprint. Her resilience through impossible trials, her ability to stay composed when the gods themselves tested her, became the foundation for what we wanted this formula to represent.

When we began creating Clarity of Psykhe, we asked a simple question: If Psykhe’s journey were distilled into something you could take with you every day, what would it look like? The answer wasn’t in a single rare ingredient, but in a union of many—just as Psykhe’s strength came from the trials and lessons she gathered along the way.

That’s why we chose ten mushrooms with histories as rich as the myth itself. They’ve been cultivated, traded, and revered in cultures across the globe for centuries—each with a story, a place of origin, and a role in the communities that cherished them. Together, they form a balanced whole: diverse, time-tested, and greater than the sum of their parts.

Clarity of Psykhe isn’t just named after her—it carries her philosophy, translated into a modern ritual you can hold in your hand.

The Legacy

Psykhe’s name has survived for centuries because her story still fits our world. The ten mushrooms in this blend aren’t new discoveries—they’re fragments of human history, carried through empires, oceans, and generations. They’ve grown in high-altitude winds, deep forest shade, and fields shaped by countless hands.

Clarity of Psykhe doesn’t try to reinvent them. It gathers them—ten distinct threads woven into something meant for today. It’s a reminder that the things worth keeping don’t fade; they adapt, endure, and meet us where we are now.
