Cancer is a warrior in addition to being a softie. In contrast to its sister sign, Capricorn, it is easy to forget the crab is fierce and wears its weapons upfront. From an ancient Indo-European word meaning
“to scratch”, this possibly references the claws of this misunderstood sign. We meet Cancer mythologically, in the 12 trials of Hercules, where the small but brave creature is sent by Juno/Hera to distract him while he battles the Hydra. While pinching his toes, Hercules crushes Cancer beneath his foot unceremoniously, and for this bravery the crab is rewarded an eternal spot in the heavens as a constellation. Ruled by the
moon, Cancer tends to be gendered as m “feminine”, but it is important to note that not all cultures consider the moon as a goddess. In Baltic folklore, it is considered male. The roving god Menulis/Meness is perhaps derivative of the Hindu moon god, Chandra, since the Lithuanian language and culture has a very close link to ancient m Indian/Sanskrit. It is also possible this is tied to the German moon god, Mani.
“Cancer rules, among organs of the body, the chest, breasts, stomach, lungs, ribs, and secret places of the chest; among colors, tawny and smoky; among tastes, salty; among places, lakes of water, swamps, and places where waters flow together, the seashore and the shores of rivers; among stones, those that are in water…” -Picatrix
To venerate the luminary who holds the burden of being virgin, mother, maiden and crone, creator or destroyer, we must realize we, too, are not just one face. With these unique undefinable qualities, this perfume was first spun under a Cancer Sun, and exalted moon, on a Monday. Narcotic night blooming jasmine and angelic white wings made of petals gather around a glowing orb of coconut milk and sweet yuzu. Soothing blue German chamomile corresponding to both the Cancer ruled abdomen, and the
official lunar language (according to occult texts). Ch’ang O’s regenerative and self healing osmanthus tree guarding the gates to her moon palace. Salted sea spray, fine gleaming silver, virginal violets and numbing anodyne herbs twinkle and illuminate. A haunting, pale and sweet aroma to reflect the most receptive parts of you, back at you. This perfume evokes a siren song, luminous silver, and the sweetness of a hypnogogic tea party for nocturnal pollinators.
