dating back to ancient Egypt around 3000 BCE adapted quickly from necessity to ceremony.

Birthdays, weddings, death -

All of life’s little weird moments.

Candles were the OG clocks before clocks; 

The burning down of wax and tallow making the inevitable passage of time visible. 

Now with candles,

Friends and neighbors stayed over later . 

Brilliant ideas were birthed - due to the new additional hours of light and the unspoken permission to open another bottle of wine. 

Shadow Puppetry proceeded this . 

Shadow Play came next . 

We are now in the season of Shadow Work.

From the Neolithic to the Holocene, 

to the up and coming fourth Industrial Revolution, 

Candles are timeless. 

And Shadows are eternal. 

They are they are the ever-present companion to light . 

Two friends figuring it out .

If you find yourself in the future, 

In a world full of robots;

lost and longing for a meadow..

If the power goes out and you only have yourself to sit with.. 

Remember your sweet and tender Shadow Friend .

Here to create new highways in your limbic system on the Olfactory Highway of new sense memories. 

A night at home , 

good music, new friends, shadows transcend, flickering and stretching across the walls to make love to. 

Perfumed and heady scents,

Shadows to bring comfort in a time of unexpected grief. 

These Shadows will illuminate you from now on and your entire life’s spectrum- 

The good , the bad and the better. 

By bringing Shadows into your home, 

You are ready to embrace all parts of your psyche.

Congratulations and thank you for becoming a supporter and a 

Patron of the Shadow Arts.
