Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) Lilith's Birthday : 2017 Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
It was a cold, cold day, and a thick fog obfuscated everything. It was tremendously symbolic in myriad ways.
It’s funny. Lilith was two months old when Obama was elected, and I remember how I felt that night as the election returns were coming in. When his presidency was announced, it was like a fist surrounding my heart unclenched, and I could breathe again. With Lilith in my arms, I inexplicably wept with relief, suddenly believing with all my heart that she was safe, and that her future—all of our futures—were on a trajectory of kindness and justice buoyed by hope. The country is flawed and imperfect, but we were on our way to making things right.
Then November of 2016 happened, and in January, a thick fog descended on the National Mall and the fist clamped around my heart again.
The hope and valor of iris blossoms twined with chrysanthemum’s bold fearlessness, violet’s vigilance, oleander’s caution, and white and red roses for unity.
