BEST SELLING SCENT EVERY YEAR!
 
Draco is one of the largest constellations in the sky and represents Ladon, the dragon that guarded the gardens of the Hesperides in Greek mythology. We briefly mentioned this myth last month when we introduced our Golden Apples soap. 
The myth of Hercules and the golden apples of the Hesperides is one of the most famous stories from ancient Greek mythology. In this myth, Hercules, in his pursuit of the Twelve Labors, is tasked with stealing the golden apples from the Hesperides, who were responsible for guarding a tree that bore fruit that granted immortality. 
 
The Hesperides were nymphs - divine sisters -  tasked with guarding this sacred tree bearing golden apples. The seven Hesperides were Goddesses of the Evening and golden sunsets, and were often associated with the evening star (Venus). The element of the evening is symbolic here as dusk represents the liminal space between day and night and mirrors the Hesperides’ role in mediating between mortal realms and the divine. The Hesperides were assisted in their task by Ladon, a fearsome hundred-headed dragon and formidable guardian who never slept. Hercules defeated Ladon with his poisoned arrows and stole the apples. Saddened by the dragon’s passing, Hera placed its image in the sky among the constellations.
 
Dragons are not only creatures of fire—they also have deep ties to water, intuition, and hidden wisdom. Found in myths across all cultures, dragons are powerful allies for deep emotional healing, intuition, and transformation. They can assist in dreamwork, shadow work, and energy cleansing rituals.
