Crafted in honour of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld and sovereign of the turning seasons, this ritual soap captures the soul of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox — the moment of perfect balance between light and dark. It honours both descent and return, shadow and bloom, life and death.
With a charcoal-black sky and a moody alkanet-dyed moon, this bar guides you through transformation with grace and power.
Key Features:
Scented with essential oils of patchouli, frankincense, vetiver, rose geranium, and ylang ylang — grounding, floral, mysterious
Coloured with activated charcoal (sky) and alkanet root powder (dusk-purple moon)
Contains colloidal oats for a gentle, softening exfoliation
Grounded with Australian white kaolin clay for skin purification and energetic clarity
Topped with black obsidian (protection, shadow work), rose petals (love, rebirth), and mint — sacred to Persephone through her link to Menthe, the underworld nymph
Aligned with Mabon, the Autumn Equinox — perfect for rituals of letting go, soul integration, and transition into the darker half of the year

Storage Instructions:
To prolong the life of your soap bar, store it in a well-drained soap dish, allowing it to dry between uses. Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain its quality and fragrance.
Prepare the Equinox Altar
Light a black or gold candle. Near your bath or basin, place obsidian, pomegranate seeds, or dried mint. Take the soap in hand and breathe deeply three times, feeling yourself center between worlds.Invoke Persephone
Speak or whisper:"Persephone, queen of roots and sky,
Guide me where the shadows lie,
Through descent and into bloom,
Let me rise from inner womb."Lather in Balance
As you lather the bar, feel the balance of textures — smoothness from the oats, grounding from the clay, depth from the scent. Let it remind you of the beauty held in dark spaces.Embrace the Descent
While cleansing, reflect on what you're releasing — habits, stories, emotional heaviness. Whisper:"I descend willingly. I release with grace."
Rise in Sovereignty
As you rinse, imagine yourself emerging radiant and whole. Say:"I return with wisdom. I rise in my own power."
Close the Ritual
Offer thanks to Persephone. Leave mint leaves, petals, or a stone as a simple offering. Feel the calm equilibrium of the equinox settle around you.
