BRAM STOKER

No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.

 

MARY SHELLEY

It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn; and whether it was the outward substance of things or the inner spirit of nature and the mysterious soul of man that occupied me, still my inquiries were directed to the metaphysical, or in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.

 

 

Bathe in autumnal bliss:

++ BPTP HALLOWEEN BATH OIL

AUTUMN DUSK

BALEFIRE

A crack in the door to the underworld: blackened leaves, woodsmoke and flame, dusty mullein, and apple bark against a backdrop of sepulchral myrrh.

 

BLACK POMEGRANATE AND BLACKCURRANT

Piquant, tart, and strangely hypnotic.

 

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

A joyous celebration of La Catarina, La Flaca, La Muerte... Glorious, Beautiful Death. In Mexico, death is not something to be feared or hated; She is embraced, loved, and adored. La Muerte is fêted, as the celebrant "...chases after it, mocks it, courts it, hugs it, sleeps with it; it is his favorite plaything and his most lasting love." This is a Mexican paean to La Huesuda: dry, crackling leaves, the incense smoke of altars honoring Death and the Dead, funeral bouquets, the candies, chocolates, foods and tobacco of the ofrenda, amaranth, sweet cactus blossom and desert cereus.

 

PUMPKIN S’MORES

Pumpkin marshmallows smushed into brown sugar-dusted graham crackers with melted chocolate and a hint of campfire smoke.

 

 

++ BPTP HALLOWEEN CANDLES

AUTUMN MIDNIGHT

Frankincense, honeycomb, black copal, and myrrh veiled in night-blooming jasmine, dusky amber, black rose, smoky patchouli leaf, bitter cacao, and a dribble of red wine.

 

PUMPKIN CLOVE

Warm pumpkin and Madagascar clove bud.

 

SPIKED APPLE CIDER

Spiced apple cider livened up with a splash of apple brandy.

 

SWEET GINGER AND FRANKINCENSE

Oman frankincense with unpeeled Ginger rhizome and Italian bergamot.

 

TOBACCO POMEGRANATE

Blood red pomegranate with tobacco absolute, Haitian tobacco leaf, and oudh.

Due to the zomg number of colors in this piece, we’ve tried something new with Abigail’s Halloween art. This tee was printed using the DTG process, and isn’t silkscreened like BPTP’s other tees.

 

 

And the other is an addition to our permanent collection!
