Sweet-Spiced Seed Bark

Archetype: The Ember Dancer

Element(s): Fire + Earth + Spark

Purpose: To awaken primal energy and focused pleasure through sacred crunch and adaptogenic flame

Origin Lore

Born from ancient offerings left in volcanic bowls, this bark is not candy—it is a **fire ritual made edible**.
Crisp from toasted seeds, kissed with cayenne, and cooled by collagen-laced glaze, it is a sensory contradiction:
heat + sweet, melt + crackle, earth + ember. Designed for midday awakenings, sacred snacking, and element play.
