{"title":"October 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003e素魄 · Silk Moon\u003cbr\u003eThe October collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe month it's made for runs October 7 to November 6, between the solar terms called Cold Dew and Beginning of Winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e素 means undyed silk. Plain, white, unadorned, a thing in its original state. White is the color of autumn and of metal, the phase governing this whole stretch of the year. 魄 is the unlit part of the moon, and also the name of the bodily soul that lives in the lung, which is the organ the season belongs to. September's collection was 桂魄, Osmanthus Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season is dry, and until now it has also been warm. This month the warmth goes into storage and the dryness stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat comes with it: dry throat, cracked lips, a cough with nothing in it, skin that chaps rather than itches, tightness across the chest, waking earlier than you meant to. Grief sits closer to the surface in October than in any other month of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat helps is warmth that carries moisture. Cooling was September's answer and it isn't this month's. Something on the skin daily, steam, earlier nights. And finish things rather than start them, because that is what the season itself is doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal cold arrives November 21. October is the last open window to build reserve rather than spend it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/1575\/8236\/collections\/1000011260.jpg?v=1791089839","url":"https:\/\/craft-incense.com\/zh-tw\/collections\/october-2026.oembed","provider":"Yi-Xin Craft Incense","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
