++ 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 NARAL.

 

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

 

AND WITH MY SPADE I DELFE MY LANDYS
On winter’s day, some chop wood, some prune the garden, some go to market, and others warm themselves by the fire.
 

A scent of budding life bursting through sleet and frost: snow-capped golden amber with snowdrop, winter gardenia, hellebore, and iris.

Proceeds from the sale of this scent benefit NARAL, who fights for reproductive rights, supports paid parental leave, and lobbies against pregnancy discrimination: https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/

 

++ A LITTLE LUNACY

BONEY MOON
In the stark darkness of February, food is so scarce that some are forced to chew bones and make marrow soup for nourishment. It is a time when we honor our ancestors with fasting, solemn ritual, and reflection on the triumphs and accomplishments of those who have passed before us.
