Sacred Space
The Demeus project takes an arcane approach to vinifying aromatic white grape varieties grown in Oregon.
Winemaking for us is a ceremony, our winery a sanctuary. Produced in the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, our alchemy transmutes earthly fruit into divine nectar.
Esoteric Awakening
The corporeal world can be a harrowing place, marked by false delights and clinging miseries. As the seasons change, and the world around us evolves, we seek doorways into the ethereal. Demeus is an expression of where we find ourselves in the modern age, on a long since forgotten spiritual plane.
The seven-pointed star, or heptagram, is a sacred geometrical expression of the space between the six-pointed star of genesis and the eight-pointed star of resolution. It is symbolic of journey, transition, and the passion to grow and become more than what we are.
For us, Sigilum Dei represents life, mutability, communication with the divine, and acceptance of others. Unbroken circles ebb and flow in the pendulum of existence, the life cycles of our wines and in the community that surrounds us.
Oracle
Our work enables Demeus to defy modern conventionalism and seek a deeper understanding of this world through community and connection.
The Planchette
Traditionally, this heart-shaped divination tool was hewn from a small piece of wood, and thus its name derives from the French, for “little plank.” Our all-cotton label doubles as a more pliable planchette. Even after plunging a bottle of Demeus wine in an ice bucket, you may peel our planchette label off and put it to use on any talking board… perhaps communicate with the divine?
Epistles
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them!
