Clarimonde’s Dream Pillow by Ayala Moriel
odalisque’s by Ingres
Dear Sister in Fragrance, Dear Ayala,
I have slept upon the little silken Dream Pillow that you made with fragrant herbs
and tiny stitches
by your own hand
I have dreamed on it and this is what I learned
You are right about Romauld’s betrayal of Clarimonde
she gave him all she had and she was forsaken
what I saw in my dreams was that his betrayal was a death of his own inner being,
the female to his male, his anima
he betrayed himself
*
I came to a deeper understanding of the LOVERS ARCHETYPE
in the Tarot
I realized that one must first…
marry oneself
before you can love another fully
or know GOD
*
the Angel above the two figures is the Divine giving blessing
to the couple
the Divine Angel makes the triad complete
female-divine-male
the female-male is inside oneself
and these two must be united before the triad, the hook up, the divine marriage of the three
takes place
male-female-divine
*
marry yourselves sisters and brothers
know yourself fully
love yourself
then you can love another
and fully embrace the divine
*
How strange was Romaulde to cut himself off from Clarimonde
and what terrible pressures he must have been under!
for to betray her was to betray all hope
of knowing GOD
*
Blessed Be
*
Clarimonde’s Dream Pillow
Ayala’s words:
In his effort to banish impure thoughts from his sleep, Romaulde has sewn this little pillow from simple fabric, and filled it with herbs from the monastery’s garden: lavender buds, crushed violet leaves & valerian….upon his waking, he noticed the pillow transformed into pure silk, and the herbs were tainted by a heavy oriental perfume of half faded roses, patchouli, & saffron. Clarimonde’s presence was inescapable.
Materials: hand sewn raw White Silk, Garnet Bead, filled with valerian, violet leaves, orris root, lavender buds, patchouli leaves, rose petals, deer’s tongue. Perfumed with: Antique patchouli and cloves, sandalwood, costus, saffron, dragon’s blood, roses, carnation, violet leaf, sweet cassie, ionone (natural isolate)
Disclosure: Perfume Pharmer is never compensated for reviews. A dream pillow was provided by Ayala Moriel Perfumes for review. All natural ingredients were used.

Ayala! It must be an awesome dream pillow to provoke such wondrous poetry from our lovely skye Monica. Well done, you. Your artistry has shone through.
Warmly, Lyn
Truly spoken, Monica!
Thank you for your review and for “sleeping on” the dream pillow I’ve created.
1+1=3
A couple does not need to bear a child to create that 3rd element – a union of two loving people creates a third entity, which is their relationship. And it transforms both.
Escaping his other half which balanced his chaste day-time self, Romuald did betray himself, and gave up hope for expanding beyond his own limited oneness and be part of the world.
wise words Ayala, thank you <3
And Lyn, as always, the loving Sage!
Thank you, Monica. Not sure about sage; I’m more a nutmeg gal, myself. : ,) Love Lyn
