unconscious shipwreck by jared hayes

Paperback, 92 pages

unconscious shipwreck explores the nuances & subtleties discovered in the remnants & reliquary shadows of daily life; a clarifying vision of our spiritual nature coalesced through somatic tactics & poetic practices. Hayes’ poetry emphasizes the connection between the cosmic & earthly spiritual realms while distilling the fruits of our subconscious with a generous dose of sentient ritual & psychoanalytic symbiosis. Here in this unveiled space, we can see clearly the currents, wreckage, & wonders of the universe as integral parts of ourselves woven into a vast & unending tapestry.

Mystic Waters

Soy Wax Candle by marvel + Moon

This candle evokes the sturdy heart of a ship, a vessel traversing the threshold between the conscious and the unconscious. It conjures the scent of ancient tree's accrued experience rings, weathered wood, and salty air.

Notes of ozone and crisp linen, reminiscent of sun-bleached sails billowing in the wind, blend with the bracing scent of eucalyptus and the subtle sweetness of freesia, like a secret with the universe that blooms. A heart of sea salt anchors the fragrance, echoing the mercurial hermetic salt from the sea, while a touch of moss adds an earthy, green depth, bringing to mind the lichen in the mists. A hint of patchouli grounds the scent, like footsteps inside ourselves together.

This candle stands as an invitation to drink to your endless surroundings, to burn the ego's symphonies to vapors in mystical exchange, and to find "some peace of the future amidst permanent tribulation.

Scent Notes: Ozone. Linen. Eucalyptus. Freesia. Sea Salt. Moss. Patchouli.

Adornments: Pink Sea Salt & White Oak Bark.

*Comes in a 3oz tin.

Through ritual and experimentation, hayes creates a poetic estuary both organic and astral transporting the reader in fellowship and awe.”

–Sarah Mangold, author of Her Wilderness Will Be Her Manners
