Pine Tar Skull 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. Creating conscious offering either to the Sun or the Moon Luminary. The Night Vision series are dedicated to the black Jaguar.

The Onça Night Skull Soap is perfect celebration of dead and the dead spirits. This creosote free Swedish Pine Tar soap has strong natural smokey aroma, soft texture and nourishing effect on dry and itchy skin and scalp. Best to be tested individually in case of sensitivities.

SKULL SYMBOLISM

A common symbol of the Day of the Dead is the skull (in Spanish calavera), which celebrants represent in masks, called calacas (colloquial term for skeleton), and foods such as sugar or chocolate skulls, which are inscribed with the name of the recipient on the forehead. Skulls are of course symbol of the Dead and celebration of the Life. During the Scorpio ruled month of November, the veil between this two dimensions is thinner.

The Onça Skull Soap series are celebration of the Life. Inspired by the forest and tree ashes, I wanted to use the symbolism of pine tree tar in the production of the Night Vision Onça offering to the Dark Moon. Disintegration, purification and regeneration are the stages of the psychic transformation, which belong to the Dark Moon’s healing powers. Through evocation of the Dark Moon Goddess, we can reconnect with our ancestors, untangle past karmic knots and work on our anxieties.

BLACK MOON OFFERING

The Moon ruling sing of Cancer is watery sign, which embodies the “Mother Bear”, emotional sensitivity and intuitive intelligence, self care and protection. Cancer is cardinal sign, which stands on the axes with Capricorn. The Cancer door opens for the new souls to enter this realm. Just as the winter Capricorn season is actually the time, when the Sun i closest to the Earth and lights up the time, when the souls “merge back with the light”. This soap is simple reflection through the mirroring image of the black Moon’s mirror. It is celebration of the invisible, the dead, the realm where we all sleep and dream. It is the mother, the umbilical cord, purifying prayer, gift to the angry Kali and Lilith. It presents the dark feminine shadow we all carry within. It calls for connection to our subconscious.

PINE TAR HISTORY

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.
