This is one of only a few marriage vessels containing a Spagyric from Agarwood, known as The Plant of Eden.

When Adam was kicked out of the garden of Eden, legend has it he was given 1 plant cutting (The Agarwood Plant) to get him back in after he'd been kicked out.

Agarwood can cost as much as $100,000 per kilogram, making it one of the most expensive raw materials in the world.

But for this tree to produce any agarwood, it must first become infected with mold. So, how does this infection process work?

hat is agarwood used for?

And what makes it so valuable?

Aquilaria malaccensis is a tree native to the rainforests of southeast Asia. Prior to infection, the healthy heartwood inside Aquilaria trees is pale, odorless, and worthless. However, in the wild, damage to the tree by external forces, such as grazing animals, sporadically results in the growth of a specific type of fungal infection inside the tree called Phialophora parasitica. The Aquilaria's defense to this attack is to produce a stress-induced aromatic resin called aloes, which is dark and moist.

Over the course of several years, the aloes slowly embed into the heartwood to create agarwood.For an experienced woodsman, they can look at an Aquilaria tree and predict whether it has agarwood inside or not.

Ants bore into the tree trunk, causing a wound and bringing in the microorganisms, bacteria, fungus spores into the trunk of the tree. The ant secretes a fluid that damages the tree, and then the tree uses its own sap to cover the wounds, which will turn into agarwood after a long time.

Agarwood was described as a fragrant product of wealth and luxury in one of the world's oldest written texts, the Sanskrit Vedas, dating back as early as 1,400 BC. The aroma produced from agarwood has been highly valued by many cultures and religions throughout history.

In the Nirvana Sutra, aloes is mentioned as a "heavenly wood" used in the cremation of Buddha. In the New Testament, Jesus' body was anointed with a mixture of myrrh and aloes following his crucifixion. And in the Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith, the description of Paradise by Allah's messenger includes the burning of agarwood as incense.

This marriage vessel is a hand blown, custom glass piece that marries the 6 directions of reality of whatever is placed inside the container.

The container is heated during the day, allowing the contents to rise to the top, and cooled at night to allow the contents to drop back down.  The 4 arms marry the North, South, East, and West - while the heating and cooling provides the "Up and Down".

Suggested use is only 1-2 drops on the tongue only 1-3x per day, preferrably before meditation or a time of stillness where you have at least 15 minutes for the effects to take place.
