kebechet Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Beaver Moon is rising over Black Phoenix! BEAVER MOON(S) 2013 Beaver Moon is named thus for a very obvious reason: during this time of year, beavers are hard at work building their dams and preparing for the onset of winter. Generally, we use this opportunity to abuse the name of this Moon by turning it into a double entendre. This year, we are offering our traditionally sleazy interpretation, plus a vision of Beaver Moon presented in a serious light. BEAVER MOON I Thick, creamy cheesecake with thyme, lemon zest, and sugared pear. BEAVER MOON II This is the scent of thick branches of maple, quaking aspen, and willow held together by river mud, a feast of sedge and water lilies, and the first quiet breath of winter's night flowing over warm brown fur. Artwork by Keri Newton! The tee is available at Black Phoenix Trading Post now! This month's single note... WHITE SAGE White sage is a potent herb of purification, protection, and healing, and has been used as a ceremonial incense for hundreds of years. Medicinally, white sage can be used as an antiseptic, and I think this makes an excellent metaphor: the herb and oil are spiritual disinfectants, preventing putrefaction of the soul. Meanwhile, at Black Phoenix Trading Post: BLISS SMOOCH We are thrilled to announce another Black Phoenix Trading Post / Villainess collaborative project! BPTP and Villainess have teamed up to create Bliss Smooch - concocted by Villainess, scented by Black Phoenix! A shot of pure, self-indulgent euphoria! A scent that is very, very wicked in its own way: the serotonin-slathered scent of pure milk chocolate. BLACK CAT HALLOWEEN TAROT TEE Have an aversion to the Swords suit? Think the Tower is bad news? They've got nothin' on this kitty. Illustrated by our dear friend, Tanya! MASSIVE BPAL LOGO MUG At Black Phoenix, we love coffee. We also love tea. We love caffeine so much that our sweat could give you a buzz. In order to accommodate our caffeine needs, we now carry humongous 20oz mugs. It's the next best thing to an IV drip. BPAL logo revamp by our dear friend, Nick Pavik! BADASS PEN Write your next masterpiece with our SUPER FANCY VERY AWESOME branded orange pens! Blue ink + orange case for an extra burst of Mercury creativity! And now for the bad news: Hellboy, Kali, Galvanic Goggles, Coyote, Ogygia, Cthulhu, and Jack are all temporarily unavailable.
