NIGHT VISION GIFT SET = CANDLE + SOAP

The Onça Day & Night Vision Offerings are celebration of the opposites. Holistic unity of spirit and matter initiated by soap washing and/or lighting a candle as ritual intention. The Night Vision series are dedicated to the black Jaguar, symbol of the Moon in the Mayan mythology.

JAGUAR SYMBOLISM

To the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica, the jaguar was more than just an animal; it was divine. The jaguar was believed to be an animal of the stars as well as of the earth, playing a highly prominent role in the mythology of the Aztec and Mexica peoples roughly 700 years ago. Jaguar dens are sometimes found in caves, which linked them to the earth and fertility: The fierce Aztec earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli is often represented with a jaguar’s claws. The cat’s dual nature connected it to transitions, like the daily cycle of the sun rising to usher in the day and setting as it gave way to night. In time the jaguar became absorbed into a complex dual mythology, representing both light and darkness, heaven and earth.

According an Aztec myth, the first sun that shone on humanity was the god Tezcatlipoca, who reigned in the heavens. His brother Quetzalcóatl was envious of his power and tried to usurp him with a heavy blow. Tezcatlipoca, however, did not die but turned into a jaguar instead. Tezcatlipoca sometimes manifested himself as Tepeyóllotl, Heart of the Mountains, because his domains reflected the jaguar. He was found not just in caves and the underworld but also in the night sky, for which the jaguar’s dotted pelt became a symbol.

The Mexica had another myth to explain the animal’s characteristic “stained” pelt: When the gods created the sun and moon, the jaguar was thrown onto the sacred fire and came back to life in the flames with its fur spotted and singed.

1 SOY-WAX CANDLE

100% soy wax to provide a non-toxic, clean burning scented candle was hand poured in painted and glazed clay pot on selected auspicious Moon.

Essential oils have the capacity to change the electrical frequency of the body. When frequencies drop, disease sets in. Essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known. As living substances, their frequency is harmonic with the human frequency. When we come in contact with them, our body frequency is raised to a degree that we become inhospitable to pathogenic organisms.

Pure essential oils of Myrrh, Frankincense, Cypress, Atlas Cedar, Rosemary, Nutmeg, Ylang-Ylang, Lavender were used to embrace and reflect the emitting lunar powers.

Basic description of the Essential Oils:

Myrrh – strengthening healer, warm, woody, balsamic aroma
Frankincense – rejuvenating, spicy, woody, balsamic aroma
Cypress – woody – antiseptic, spicy scent
Atlas Cedar – tranquilizer, harmonious, earthy and woody aroma
Rosemary – restorer, fresh, green scent
Nutmeg – tension relief, sweet, spicy, woody aroma
Ylang Ylang – lover’s enjoyment, heavy, exotic, sensual flower scent
Lavender – balances, light, floral scent

The form and the paint of each candle vary. Each piece was individually crafted. Measurements are between 115 to 136 g, weight depending on shape and the size vary between 6,5 to 7,3 ø, with height between 3 to 4 cm. Lit candle is recommended to be burned until the whole wax liquefies before extinguishing it, otherwise the wax will creates “rings”. If rings were created, it is easy to scrub them off the pot walls helping them melt down. It is not desirable to leave the candle untended. After the burning the empty clay candle pot makes great jewelry case.

Please note: As soy wax cools, it can pull away from the pot and create an effect known as “frosting” which looks like air bubbles. This is completely normal and to be expected. In fact, it’s a easy way to tell if your candle is 100% soy, as some companies will add a small amount of paraffin or other additives to eliminate this effect.

Inhale the positive moments of the day and let everything go with our freshly created flower soy candle batches. They have different burning capacities and were poured on auspicious Jupiter rising hour.

PINE TAR HISTORY AND PROPERTIES

While living in the northern parts of Finland, I discovered the wonderful campfire aroma of the pine tar. Used in shampoos, soaps, candy and even mustard, the woody scent remained ever since with me. For some people the pine tar odor can be overwhelming. Pine tar is a sticky substance that results from burning the wood of pine trees. The history of pine tar dates back to the Egyptians, who were using for the embalming body rituals. Pine tar used as preservative to protect wood from the harsh winter conditions as well as on the bottoms of Nordic skis. Pine tar soaps have been used in soothing treatments for skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis; it is said to relieve itching caused by bug bites. This property alone makes it a great addition to your medicine cabinet during the warm mosquitoes months.
