016: MECCA & MEDINA | SAUDI ARABIA

Mecca and Medina Pilgrimage — Ramadan Soul Rebirth

“I walk stripped of all names,
all crowns, all histories.
Barefoot in spirit, veiled only by mercy,
I circle the center of all longing —
and find my soul newly born among the stars.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

In the burning cradle of Mecca, under a sky heavy with revelation,
a simple stone house was made the center of the cosmos.
Men and women from every corner of earth would pour into it,
not to conquer, not to adorn —
but to surrender.
Ramadan magnifies this return:
Each breath a prayer, each hunger a cleansing flame,
each tear a new river drawn back to God.
Medina, city of the Prophet, holds the soft throne of mercy —
where warriors became poets, and seekers became gardens.

Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story

Brand Origin Story

This sacred journey is not a trip —
it is the death of the false self, and the birth of the soul unmasked.
Mecca, the axis of surrender.
Medina, the garden of tenderness.
Together, they weave the male pilgrim into a living prayer —
seen by God alone.

Expansion Prophecy

As men reawaken sacred submission without pride or fear,
the world itself will be remade:
softer, stronger, sealed in mercy.
Ramadan will no longer be a season —
it will be a door the soul walks through each morning.
