Collection Deets:

This collection is a little different. The inspiration is drawn from ancient civilizations and some of the iconic women and goddesses within. Why is it called The Past Within? We all have a little bit of history within us all. Some you may have heard of others may be new to you. But each has a lil something to pass on to each of us.

While the collection isn't holiday themed, each of the colors would make beautiful accents to different types of holiday themed manis.

Nefertiti: Gold foils and glitter accented by reds, greens, blues. A beautiful and powerful figure in Egypt. While considered on of the most beautiful women of her time, she was often shown equally in depictions with her Pharaoh husband Akhenaten which was not the norm. It is even theorized she ruled for a period of time as Pharaoh after his death. (Matching colors Pot o Gold, Emerald City, Ruby Slippers) Remember you are beautiful and powerful.

Lady Six Sky: LIght gold with hints of copper and blue foils with soft jade and reddish brown glitters. These colors are pulled from Mayan burial masks and pottery. A powerful warrior Queen of the Maya, Lady Ik Wak Chan Ajaw was also known as Lady Six Sky. She launched and won several military campaigns expanding territory and protecting her people.(Matching colors - Chica Cherry Cola & Free Spirit) Don't forget to fight for you and "your" people.

Divine Women: Light gold and copper foils accented by red and reddish brown glitters. The colors are pulled from Aztec pottery. The Cihuateteo or Mocihuaquetzque are the spirits of women who died in childbirth. They saw childbirth as a battle and the fallen were seen as warriors. (Matching color - Chica Cherry Cola) Remember you are a strong warrior no matter the battle you are going through.

Minerva: Light gold, silver and red foils accented by red, light gold and silver glitters. Minerva is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, Justice, Strategy and Creativity. (Matching colors: Ruby Slippers, Cherry Bomb, Deck The Halls) Remember Strategic thinking paired with creativity can solve anything.

Sapho: Silver and light gold foils accented with different shades of blue glitters. Sapho was considered one of the first female poets in ancient Greece. Her poems were mainly of love and desire for other women and inspired the words Lesbian (where she lived the island of Lesbos), and Sapphic. (though it is not confirmed she was in fact a lesbian.) The colors are more inspired from a favorite line of hers: "What cannot be said can be wept." (Matching colors: Once In A Blue Moon, Old Glory Blue, Blue Skies, Silver Bells) Remember to love, and raise up the fellow women around you, don't tear them down..
