Oak Moon

July 7, 2009

The oak tree was a sacred symbol for many ancients, representing truth and steadfast knowledge. Wise men carved wide circles in the bark of the oak tree for protection against lightning, because of its tendency to survive lightning strikes and regenerate afterwards. To them, the oak was representative of the trials that individuals experience in life while changing and becoming who they were meant to be.

The oak tree has been long considered a guardian capable of opening doorways and facilitating self-spirituality strength to progress onward. The oak provided the courage to overcome any obstacles which had to be resolved during the travels of an individual and, in time perhaps, to learn the ways of the wise.

July’s Oak Moon, the Moon of Strength, offers us this same security, vigor, courage, and healing energy. During the light of this full moon, find strength in one of our favorite Comfort Foods! While you sink your teeth into the gooey caramel goodness of our Caramel Marshmallows, take time to reexamine the obstacles facing you and find the strength to overcome them with this new lunar cycle.

I have always been drawn to the cycles of the moon.  Join our lunar journey through the Lunar Club Haut-Chocolat.  Receive a different chocolate collection each month, just in time to enjoy by the light of the full moon.   - Katrina

Taste…Caramel Marshmallows: a touch of French Guérande grey sea salt with a wave of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of Bapchi’s Caramel Toffee bits.
