Time and Death: Mahakala embodies the cyclical nature of existence, encompassing both creation and destruction, and the ultimate power over time and death.

Wrathful Form: Mahakala often appears in a wrathful form, symbolizing the power to overcome obstacles and destroy negativity.
Other Names and Associations:
Ganpo: In Tibetan Buddhism, Mahakala is also known as Ganpo, meaning "The Protector".
Avalokiteshvara: Mahakala is sometimes seen as a wrathful form of the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara.
According to Hinduism, Mahakala is a manifestation of Shiva.

Mahakala is a protector of religious law.
He is always depicted as an extremely fierce, terrifying, and wrathful deity.
His purpose is to assist in overcoming negative obstacles on the path to enlightenment.
His outward appearance is wrathful, but he functions like a guardian angel.
Mahakala is depicted in a variety of different ways, sometimes with six arms, other times with two.
Dharma protectors, or Dharmapalas, are spiritual entities in Tibetan Buddhism, and some traditions of Mahayana Buddhism, believed to protect the teachings of the Buddha and its practitioners from obstacles and harm, often depicted with fierce or wrathful iconography.
Here's a more detailed look at their history and significance:
Origins and Purpose:
Dharmapalas are not exclusive to Tibetan Buddhism; they are found in various Buddhist traditions, including Theravada and Mahayana.
They are seen as spiritual warriors, a parallel "demonic sangha" that combats enemies in both the outer and inner worlds, capable of subduing evil forces.
Their role is to avert inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from gaining spiritual realizations and to arrange the necessary conditions for their practice.
They are believed to have taken refuge in the Buddha and sworn to protect his teachings.
Examples of Dharma Protectors:
Mahakala: A popular protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism, often depicted as a fearsome figure.
Dorje Shugden: A principal dharma protector in the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Four Guardian Kings: Found in both Theravada and Mahayana traditions, these protectors are located on the four sides of Mount Meru.
Garuda, Deva, Naga, Yaksha, Gandharva, Asura, Kinnara, and Mahoraga: These are examples of the Aṣṭagatyaḥ (the eight kinds of nonhuman beings) which are one category of dharmapālas.
Iconography and Symbolism:
Dharmapalas are often depicted with terrifying iconography, including many heads, hands, or feet, and fierce expressions with protruding fangs.
Their wrathful appearance is intended to depict their willingness to defend and guard Buddhist followers from dangers and enemies.
They are believed to be entirely benevolent in their intentions despite their wrathful appearance and fearsome methods.
Historical Context:
The devotional worship of dharmapālas in the Tibetan tradition is traceable to early 8th-century.
The name of the North Indian dynasty at the time when Buddhism was entering Tibet was "Pala," which means "protection," the same word used in the Sanskrit word of Dharma protector: "dharmapala".
Cultural Significance:
The practice of Dharma protectors has evolved through a long history in India and Tibet, incorporating aspects from Indian and Tibetan culture.
Some Westerners may find these practices and their cultural aspects alien or strange, but for others, they may be meaningful and comforting.
This mahakala wall hanging can be placed in your altar room or at the entry point of your home to remove and repel negative energies from entering your home.

What are Ubique Botanical Perfumes?
Welcome to Pure Perfume
Ubique is Latin for "everywhere", and refers to Omnipresence, the property of being present everywhere.
u-bi-que [oo-bee-kwe; English] adverb, Latin, "Everywhere".
Ubique Botanical Perfumes contain concentrated botanicals. Plant, flower, wood oils, absolutes, tinctures, and concretes are used and may cause an allergic reaction if you have an allergy to these substances. It is always best to begin your fragrant Ubique journey with a sample before purchasing a larger size, but don't wait too long...these are limited creations and they sell out quickly!
• We do not accept returns on perfumes, personal care items, or sale items. Please purchase and try sample sizes before purchasing larger sizes. Thank you!

Mine Rough Stones and Crystals
Mine rough stones are those we procure directly from a mine instead of a mass dealer. These stones are fresh from the earth and have not been previously sold. We prefer mine rough stones as the vibrational qualities are HIGH.
ALL STONES AND CRYSTALS ARE MINED.
One should not expect perfection when purchasing from ANY dealer unless the stone has been cut and polished and is listed as "perfect".
If perfection is desired, please only purchase cut and polished "perfect" stones.
Mine rough stones may have dents, dings, etc. We photograph each stone and describe what we see. We do not sell that which is not of high vibrational quality and authentic.
