The Soul of a Menorah

Description

"It looks like a hay fork," said Feivel.
"Look again," said Berel, "It has nine branches. Eight of the brances are the same size, but the ninth is longer than the others. Only one object fits that description."
"A Hanukkah menorah!" Feivel exclaimed.
 
Eric Kimmel and Mordicai Gerstein, The Jar of Fools

Scent:  A Spark of Holiness - Essential oil blend of lavender, mugwort, and vetiver
Texture: Thique (new texture!)

Book Context
‘The Jars of Fools’ is a collection of illustrated stories from Chelm. While there is a real Chelm in Poland, the Jewish folktales of Chelm are about a fictional town in Eastern Europe where all the people are fools; one of the original stories for Chelm is that when G-d was creating all the people the earth, he put each kind in a jar, and gave each jar to an angel to sprinkle across the planet. The angel carrying the jar of fools was startled by a flash of lightning, and dropped all the fools into one spot - Chelm.

Notes on Scent
The name of this blend comes from the story itself, when the Seer of Lublin is describing how the people of Chelm spiritually raised up the hat fork when they made it into a Menorah. The blend is lavender forward with grassy notes underneath.

Notes on Texture
This is my new thick texture! It is denser and dryer than my thick and glossy, and has wonderful hard cascading pops when you play with it

Notes on the Book Cover
Like the charm, the cover is based on the original art by Mordicai Gerstein, just with more slime!
