Black Moon

Reciprocity with the supernatural. The project serves as a visual narrative of ancestral curses and forest legends, inviting a respectful interaction with the supernatural through its dark and intricate design.

Ancestral Rituals
The narrative follows the legend of Baba Yaga, who feeds on the youth of those who defy the forest. To escape her “black goose” trackers, one must leave flower offerings in empty jars as a symbol of respect and protection. The design utilizes these floral motifs as a guarantee of reciprocity between the consumer and the mystical entity.

Industry: Spirits / Samagon

Spirit Origin: Russia

Visual Inspiration: Russian Folklore / Old Dry Law Taverns

The Forbidden Jar
The bottle structure finds its inspiration in old prohibition-era taverns. During the dry law, alcoholic beverages were often kept in canning jars to hide them from the law—a historical reference that defines the unique vessel and seal of this high-alcoholic spirit.
