Then [the queen] summoned a huntsman and said to him, "Take Snow-White out into the woods. I never want to see her again. Kill her, and as proof that she is dead bring her lungs and her liver back to me."

The huntsman obeyed and took Snow-White into the woods. He took out his hunting knife and was about to stab it into her innocent heart when she began to cry, saying, "Oh, dear huntsman, let me live. I will run into the wild woods and never come back."

Because she was so beautiful the huntsman took pity on her, and he said, "Run away, you poor child."

He thought, "The wild animals will soon devour you anyway," but still it was as if a stone had fallen from his heart, for he would not have to kill her.

Just then a young boar came running by. He killed it, cut out its lungs and liver, and took them back to the queen as proof of Snow-White's death.

-Brothers Grimm, Little Snow White

 

Historically, hunters have been revered for their ability to track, pursue, and harvest prey, all while maintaining a deep connection with nature.

The huntsman archetype embodies a covenant between the human and animal worlds. The hunter must attune and align with nature in order to kill part of it. Myths and rituals of sympathy, sacrifice, and gratitude honor the bond between man and animal, where one dies so the other may live. The hardy man of the wilds is an ancient archetype -  a rugged, dangerous, and barely-civilized individual. He or she is a consummate master of wilderness skills – of hunting and tracking, of the lore and handling of animals, of living off the land and gathering its resources, and of otherwise getting along on their own. 

 

Our Wild Huntsman bar epitomizes the huntsman aesthetic with its arrow-slashed top and a feather swirl design to mimic the fletching(feathers) of the huntsman's arrow. With a nod to Snow White's savior, this bar is scented with an earthy, warm blend of patchouli, cedarwood, and vetiver encasing a heart of tart ripe apple balanced by spicy ginger, cinnamon, anise and clove.
