Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) Anthesterion Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
Anthesteria, one of the four central feasts of Dionysus, is held for three days during the month of Anthesterion — the time of blooming. It is a celebration of the birth of spring, expressed symbolically though the ceremonial opening of the pithoi containing the previous year’s vintage. A time of joy and drunkenness, it is both a celebration of earth’s renewal and springtime’s bright passions and a festival of the dead. During the three nights of Anthesteria, the ghosts of our ancestors roam the streets. This commemoration of death and rebirth, passion and springtime was one of the few, precious moments when all were equal in the Hellenic world; during Anthesteria, man, woman, and child, free man and slave, human and spirit were all unified under the auspices of Nature’s great cycle.
Dénthis wine and Bibline grape, with honey and a touch of thyme and oregano.
