Honoring Persephone upon her descent to the Underworld as well as the magickal fruits of pomegranate & red wine, this release is deeply fruity with subtle notes of autumn spice.

On the Autumnal Equinox, Ancient Greek goddess Persephone begins her descent to Hades, and all the world withers and dies as earth mother Demeter mourns her loss. According to legend, Persephone was out gathering flowers in a meadow when Hades, enraptured with her beauty, opened a crack in the earth that swallowed her into the underworld.
Before Persephone's release back to her mother, she ate six pomegranate seeds; one for every month of Fall and Winter that she would spend with Hades in the Underworld each year.
Pomegranate juice can be used as a symbolic substitute in blood magick to write a petition or cast a spell, as pomegranate trees themselves were said to have sprung from the blood of Adonis.
Blood magick is a powerful addition to our rituals as it binds our magick with our mortal essence and transports it into the spiritual realm.
