General Prologue

Description

Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote
The droughte of March hath perced to the roote

When in April with its sweet showers,
The drought of March is pierced to the root

- Geoffrey Chaucer, General Prologue

Scent: Unscented
Texture: Coated clear with sugar scrub beads

Rejoice in the coming of spring with this slime inspired by the winds and rains of April, just as the pilgrims were inspired to travel to Canterbury.  This coated clear is packed with sugar scrub beads and glitters.

Pilgrim Badge Charm: Pilgrimage sites would have special collectable badges that visitors could receive when visiting, so they would have a keepsake from the shrine itself.  As the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales are traveling to Canterbury, specifically to Canterbury Cathedral where the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket is, I thought it would only be appropriate to include a badge the characters of the story may well have collected!  The charm is an image of a real pilgrim badge held by The British Museum, depicting the murder of Thomas Becket by a knight [View the badge].  This badge was produced sometime between 1320-1400.
