Separation, Transformation and Return: The Hero's Journey
In The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Joseph Campbell explores the universal patterns at the heart of mythological storytelling. But the Hero's Journey it not just a litera...
The Oroboros Knit Cloak features artwork by Carlos Luna, with the crocodile serving as a powerful symbol of judgment and accountability. In Luna’s design, the crocodile is depicted eating its own tail in a circular formation, invoking the ancient symbol of the Oroboros, representing cycles, life, death, and the interconnectedness of existence. Embedded in the stomach of the crocodile is the symbol for Eleggua, the Yoruba deity who observes and reports human actions as we navigate our journey between life and death. This deeply layered work reminds us that spiritual accountability is an immutable force that follows us through the entire cycle of our lives—like a patient predator lurking among the flowers. The piece is also a reflection on the continuous nature of La Vida … etreuM aL (Life ... and Death).
Crafted from 80% Merino Wool / 20% Mohair, the Oroboros Knit Cloak offers a soft, breathable feel that is perfect for wearing across all seasons. The fabric provides warmth while remaining lightweight, ensuring comfort and versatility. The natural fibers offer both durability and flexibility, making it a timeless piece for any wardrobe.
The Oroboros Knit Cloak is a statement piece that drapes elegantly over the body, moving with the wearer. Its flowing silhouette allows for comfort and fluidity, while embodying the symbolism and ideology of the design. This cloak is not just a garment, but a symbol of the ongoing journey through cycles of life, wisdom, and spiritual accountability.
