Description
October always brings the excitement of All Souls and Saints Day in our province. It is a time when we visit our dearly beloved, clean their tombstones, and bring food for them (almost like a mini fiesta). Remembering our departed is a serious matter where I grew up. It means we continue to value them in our hearts and this helps their souls to move on.
October always brings the excitement of All Souls and Saints Day in our province. It is a time when we visit our dearly beloved, clean their tombstones, and bring food for them (almost like a mini fiesta). Remembering our departed is a serious matter where I grew up. It means we continue to value them in our hearts and this helps their souls to move on.
But what about those who were forgotten? A Santelmo is an apparition of the lost spirits of who died violently on stormy nights, or near the sea. These apparitions appear as a fireball, floating deep within the mangroves, looking for those who wronged them. When you see a Santelmo, it can mean death to the wicked or a blessing to the pure of heart.
Our Santelmo-inspired pen is a family affair remembering the forgotten. My eldest, Vidya, who is fascinated by the supernatural and stories of the peculiar, helped me put together this concept. Kahlil, my husband, helped to design the nib engraving inspired by our Pilipino tribal art. The Santelmo pen is our family’s way of celebrating those lost souls this coming All Souls Day. May you find peace wherever you are.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.”-Robert Laurence Binyon
Santelmo (St. Elmo's Fire) features a blank designed by Kat and Vidya, and produced by Tailored Pen Company on their Churchill model. It is similar to the Westminster with the main difference being that the body and the cap transition smoothly with no difference in size. The ends are more tapered and angle to a point.
The stainless steel nib features a nib engraving inspired by Pilipino tribal art. Only 18 pens worldwide.
