Croissant of the Eclipse Heart

Archetype: The Sensual Alchemist

Element(s): Fire + Shadow + Gold

Purpose: To awaken indulgent depth without damage—pleasure you can receive without fear

Origin Lore

This croissant was first conjured beneath a lunar eclipse, by hands that folded shadow into sweetness.
Its layers are **sacred seduction**: rich cacao, golden low-glycemic caramel, melted chocolate chips.
But within? Lion’s mane for clarity. Collagen for restoration. No crash. Only radiance.
