:: Cazimi ::

Described poetically in Arabic origin, “kaṣmīmī” translates to “as if in the heart.” A Cazimi is a celestial event that occurs when a planet aligns closely with the Sun. According to classical Hellenistic astrological texts by Rhetorius, each planet undergoes a crucial moment of purification, empowerment, and illumination when embraced within the heart of the Sun. This tender yet dramatic fiery ritual serves as a temporary golden threshold—a doorway brimming with divinity and insight—marking the beginning of a new cycle of growth, dreams, and wishes.

The ‘Cazimi’ palette features six handcrafted mineral watercolors, each one a reflection of both the radiant and gentle beams of sunlight captured in our studio forest. Released as a limited edition holiday collection, this palette celebrates the renewal of spirit and the enduring illumination of the artistic flame within.

Our lovely mineral watercolor paints have beautiful granulation and can be layered from thick to thin. Artist-grade and lightfast, each pan is hand-poured to exacting traditional recipes and techniques in our studio using the highest quality earth pigments, and natural watercolor binding medium made from distilled water, honey, glycerine, and the sap of acacia trees.

+ Our commitment to environmental responsibility. You can choose to have your watercolors sent in eco-friendly, tree-free, compostable packaging, or a recyclable metal tin from the drop-down menu.

+ Each curated palette is sent with an exclusive Wildthorne hand-letterpressed artisan swatch card that nestles snugly within your watercolor palette ready to be painted by you.

+ Our letterpress cards are crafted one at a time with sustainability and environmental conservation in mind. The paper is 100% tree-free cotton made locally in the United States as a byproduct of the cotton garment industry. With a soft luxurious and tactile feel to the touch, it is a surface that invites your artistry.
