A Little Lunacy

Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a Joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Every month we offer a unique, limited edition lunacy scent, corresponding to the following month’s moon. It is available on the website for 72 hours, and then available once again at the following month’s Lunacy Event.

  • Bear Moon Perfume Oil

    The bear puts both

    arms around the tree above her

    And draws it down as

    if it were a lover

    And its chokecherries

    lips to kiss good-by,

    Then lets it snap back

    upright in the sky.

    Her next step rocks a

    boulder on the wall

    (She’s making her

    cross-country in the fall).

    Her great weight

    creaks the barbed wire in its staples

    As she flings over and

    off down through the maples,

    Leaving on one wire

    tooth a lock of hair.

    – Robert Frost

     

    Black-brown fur rubbed against ochre bark, shaking off the last snows of winter. A tangle of maple branches and the crunch of dry leaves. Claws dipped in raw honey, clutching honeycomb, dripping with the juice of wild berries.

  • Blue Moon Perfume Oil

    The spirit of the full moon is capricious, intense and passionate, yet still distant, aloof and cold. Luna herself governs glamours, bewitchments and dream-work, innocent wonder, transient pleasure and delight, the Moment, impulse, mystery and veils. The Blue Moon is one of her rarest manifestations, and this scent is formulated to encapsulate her most complex and profound nature:

     

    Mugwort and bay, for psychic sensitivity…

    Juniper, for divination through dreams…

    Lavender and almond oil for clarity and relaxation…

    Orchid and purple sage for complexity, wisdom and noscere…

     

    …with a potent lunar-charged blend of exquisite woods, moonflower, Madagascan ylang ylang, Florentine iris, starry bergamot, elemi, green tea absolute, palmarosa, cucumber, Clary sage, lettuce leaf, melilot trefoils, and wood aloes.

  • Death Moon Perfume Oil

    Do not stand

    By my grave, and weep.

    I am not there,

    I do not sleep—

    I am the thousand

    winds that blow

    I am the diamond

    glints in snow

    I am the sunlight on

    ripened grain,

    I am the gentle,

    autumn rain.

    As you awake with

    morning’s hush,

    I am the swift,

    up-flinging rush

    Of quiet birds in

    circling flight,

    I am the day

    transcending night.

    Do not stand

    By my grave, and cry—

    I am not there,

    I did not die.

    – Clare Harner

    Hare Moon 2023 Perfume Oil

    In the black furrow of a field

    I saw an old witch-hare this night;

    And she cocked a lissome ear,

    And she eyed the moon so bright,

    And she nibbled of the green;

    And I whispered “Wh-s-st! witch-hare,”

    Away like a ghostie o’er the field

    She fled, and left the moonlight there.

    Quiet Moon 2023 Perfume Oil

    There is a silence where hath been no sound,
    There is a silence where no sound may be,
    In the cold grave—under the deep deep sea,
    Or in the wide desert where no life is found,
    Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound;
    No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently,
    But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free,
    That never spoke, over the idle ground:
    But in green ruins, in the desolate walls
    Of antique palaces, where Man hath been,
    Though the dun fox, or wild hyena, calls,
    And owls, that flit continually between,
    Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan,
    There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone.

A Little Lunacy - Labors of the Months

Labors of the Months

By thys fyre I warme my handys;
And with my spade I delfe my landys.
Here I sette my thynge to springe;
And here I here the fowles singe.
I am as lyght as byrde in bowe;
And I wede my corne well I-now.
With my sythe my mede I mawe;
And here I shere my corne full lowe.
With my flayll I erne my brede;
And here I sawe my whete so rede.
At Martynesmasse I kylle my swine;
And at Cristesmasse I drynke redde wyne.

The Labors of the Months are cycles of life represented in Medieval and Renaissance art that illustrate appropriate pastoral activities of the time period. Sometimes, the Labors are synched with astronomy and astrology, and the labors themselves differ region by region.

For our in-house labor of the month, we will be featuring a dedicated charity scent in addition to those found in our Activism series. January’s charity is Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, and February’s charity is the National Urban League, who works to enable African-American and other under-served urban residents to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights.

Art in this series from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.
