favorite high school pastime - a twilight picnic in the cemetery!
Kudzu blossom,
scuppernong, Spanish moss, sweetgrass, sweet peach tea and the scent of
graveyard loam cooling in the silvery-blue dusk.
SOL NIGER
In the alchemical Great
Work, or Magnum Opus dating back to the first century, Sol Niger (the
Black Sun) is the first phase in the physical and spiritual
transmutation that creates the Philosopher's Stone and leads one on a
journey to individuation. In stage one, we're met with putrefaction and
decomposition. Carl Jung attributed this stage two distinct
psychological states.
In the first state, we have unio naturalis,
a state of imbeddedness where the ego is enmeshed with its
surroundings. Here there is no separation between the self and the
other. "Ignorance is bliss" is a good way to describe this realm.
In the next state, nigredo or the blackening, we
find the dark night of the soul where one becomes acutely, painfully
aware of the separation between the self and the other. This gives rise
to the recognition of the shadow self and the chaos and melancholy that
comes with it.
However, all is not lost to despair! This darkness gives way to the next stage, albedo, the light at the end of the tunnel and the ascent from the depths of darkness. But that is another Sol for another day...
Moroccan myrrh,
sugared violet, lilac, stargazer lily, ghost poppy, patchouli blossom
and sandalwood soaked vanilla.
VOLUPTUARY
A devotee of all things luxurious and pleasingly sensual.
Sexy red musk, dried tobacco,
black pepper, Indian patchouli, cardamom, tonka bean, cacao husk and aged vanilla resin.
On June 23, we were treated to the
magick of a super moon! As she travels in her elliptical journey around
the earth, there is a point in the moon's orbit where she is closest to
the earth, or perigee. To those of us admiring the moon from earth
during this time, she appears 14% larger and 30% brighter, the tides are
at their highest and with the human body being approximately 60% water,
one can only imagine the influence the lunar tides have over us all!
Thirteen essences sacred to the
moon were used to craft this fragrance. It can be described as a
mysterious lunar philtre that is as invigorating as the night air and
enchanting as a moonlit dance. PERIGEE can be used to alter
consciousness in sacred circles, as an anointing oil for intense spell
work or used as a fragrance when you need an extra spark of enchantment!
In a sacred space, the components
were lovingly combined in a crystal vessel, corked then left outside to
be exposed to the energies of deep night and moon at her fullest. In the
morning, I decanted PERIGEE into 23 5ml brown glass apothecary bottles
and then tucked away in a dark cupboard keeping them from the sun's
rays.
PERIGEE will be shipped to you
protected in a black bag that has a beautiful lunar amulet hand stitched
to it. PERIGEE really is a work of art made with skill and love and
destined to be a staple in your or a loved one's magickal cupboard,
White sandalwood, myrrh resin,
saffron, narcotic nutmeg, white gardenia, moonflower, blackberry, orris
root, bergamot, star jasmine, Madonna lily, white rose and vanilla husk.
Have a gorgeous summer!
