As the day fades into the evening, I often find myself reflecting on the lessons of life, sometimes with a glass of wine in hand and a piece of fine dark chocolate. It's during these moments that I draw inspiration from a cherished book on my desk, "The Wizard of Us" by Jean Houston. This book, more than just a read, is an odyssey that parallels the journey in "The Wizard of Oz" with the journey of our own lives. And from this intermingling of fiction and reality, an idea was born – a wine and chocolate brand that encapsulates the essence of this timeless story.
The Inspiration Behind the Brand
For years, I delved deep into the symbolism and the teachings of "The Wizard of Oz", finding parallels between the fabled journey to Emerald City and our own quests in life. It was a profound realization that these characters – the Scarecrow seeking wisdom, the Tin Man longing for heart, the Lion in search of courage, and Dorothy striving to find her way home – mirrored aspects of our own journeys.
One evening, as I sat with a passage from "The Wizard of Us" resonating in my mind, I found myself sipping wine and savoring chocolate. The passage read: "We are living in the most unique time in human history... The old ways of doing things are no longer working. We are now seeking the emergence of the deeper story. We are seeking mythic lives." This moment of indulgence juxtaposed with the depth of these words sparked an epiphany. Why not blend the magic of Oz with the sensory experience of wine and chocolate and embrace the magic of Oz in every sip and bite?
Crafting the Brand
Thus, my brand was born, with each product designed to evoke the enchanting world of Oz. The wines are carefully crafted, each embodying the characteristics of Oz's memorable characters. A bold red for courage, a crisp white for wisdom, and a heartwarming rosé for love. The chocolates, artisanal and rich, are infused with flavors that remind one of the journey down the Yellow Brick Road – a path of discovery and delight.
More Than Just Flavors
But this brand isn't just about exquisite tastes. It's a reminder of the deeper journey we are all on. Every sip of wine and bite of chocolate is an invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace our own mythic journey. It's about finding courage, heart, wisdom, and our way back home – whatever that may represent for each of us.
A Call to Journey
I invite you to experience this unique blend of taste and inspiration. Whether it's through a glass of our courage-inspired wine or a piece of heart-infused chocolate, let the essence of Oz guide you on your journey. Let's toast to the magic within and all around us, finding our own paths in these remarkable times.
This brand is more than a business venture; it's a passion project that intertwines the lessons from "The Wizard of Us" with the simple pleasures of wine and chocolate. It's a celebration of the mythic journey we're all on, and a tribute to the timeless story that continues to inspire generations.
