Lunar
Lunar makes no light of its own. It shines by returning the sun’s, the mirror of the sky, and the mirror of your soul. Where Solar radiates, Lunar reflects. This is the feminine principle, intuitive, receptive, luminous. This silvery, mercurial shade holds many facets and depth, crystalline reflections that turn the light back on itself.
Silver is the most reflective metal on Earth, bouncing back nearly all the visible light that meets it. This is the colorway of the moon itself, cut with the warm metallic of pewter, the tin-based metal that set the medieval table for centuries, muted and antique against silver’s bright edge. Reflectivity became survival beyond the Earth, spacecraft and astronauts sheathed in mirrored metallic film to turn away the sun’s radiation. When we picture visitors from far away galaxies, we imagine the silver saucer, the craft descending to the vortexes and desert sites where energy is said to gather. What comes from beyond, we imagine as a mirror.
The moon’s gravity moves the oceans bodily, raising the tides twice each day. Your body is 60 percent water. The life force that lifts the sea moves you, watery, fluid, divine. You are guided by moonlight.
For millennia farmers revered the moon and planted by its rhythm, sowing with the waxing light and rooting with the waning, believing its pull drew the water up through root and stem as it draws the tides. The moon was the first planting calendar, agriculture kept in time with the sky.
This is the third eye register. Ajna, at the brow, element light, the seat of intuition, inner vision and the unseen, sounded at 852 hertz, the frequency that returns you to insight.
The moon is drifting, nearly four centimeters farther from us every year. It keeps the rest of itself in shadow, the truest mirror there is, one face turned to the light, the rest held close.
The Greeks called the moon Artemis, goddess of the hunt and the wild, twin of Apollo the sun, moving by moonlight through the dark, fierce and self-possessed, seeing what others cannot. Lunar is her light. It is your eye with clear vision.

Historical significance
In alchemical teaching, the moon is a facet of silver: symbolic of clarity, purity, and brilliance. The alchemists believed that the morning dew came from the Moon and held the essence of the luminary itself.
In Greek and Roman mythology, silver was linked to the goddess Artemis - Diana - who represented the moon, purity, and clarity of vision. Her silver bow symbolised spiritual strength and the capacity to see truly in darkness.
In Vedic tradition, Soma, the sacred drink of the gods, was connected with the Moon and Silver. A divine nectar used in ritualistic ceremony to access realms beyond the ordinary mind.
In Native American belief, silver was a sacred metal associated with the moon’s power and emotional healing. Worn to protect against negativity and keep the wearer aligned with the lunar intelligence.
The pirarucu itself, this ancient creature that surfaces between two worlds every ten minutes, carries this energy in its scales.
In the Lunar colourway, those scales become a mirror. What you bring to it, it returns. Transformed.
