Scorpios lead the way during the warmer seasons. Here are three Pulp products that help Scorpios shine. Bask in the glow of the Scorpion this Season!
How to understand a Scorpio? Through their unwavering passion for life, love and being organised!
There’s a bigger picture, of course, with questions that beg to be answered: What is astrology anyway? Who invented the zodiac? Why do people believe in astrology? And how is it all related to all the good things here at Pulp Creative Paper!?
We know you love a bit of Pulp discourse, friends, so let’s focus, buckle down, zero in and get to it!
Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies (AKA stars and planets), which are interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.
Curiously enough, the Ancient Babylonians were star-gazing before anyone else! You see, they divided the sky into twelve areas, each of which was assigned a figure, a name, and a specific meaning. This became the zodiac with its twelve zodiac signs, such as Aries, Gemini, Virgo, or Leo. For this reason, it has been said that they were the true first founders of astrology. Go Babylonians!
Why do people believe? There are several angles here. Astrology can often help people understand and make personal sense of complicated people and life experiences. There’s an element of self-validation to this, too, and Scorpios, for example, can be comfortable and self-assured that they are indeed determined, mysterious and freethinking!
And how is this all related to your favourite stationery shop? Let’s look at the reasons one by one!
Nutscene Perfect Twine
If we’re going to compare The Scorpion to a Pulp products, let’s start with something strong!
Strength: To withstand significant pressure.
Scorpions have it in spades, apparently, and so does Nutscene Perfect Twine. It could hold up a building! Albeit, it would have to be a very small building, and probably made of Lego, but still!
This is an immense ball of thick, chunky twine. We have it in natural and green colourways, and we can vouch that this is a unique product beautifully formed and ideal for projects requiring a sturdy Twine! It’s wrapped in a retro label from the Nutscene Archives. How delightfully vintage!
Home, Garden, arts and crafts: if anyone needs a stronger twine, this is for them! With a rope thickness and comes in 3ply (between 6 and 8mm thickness). Each ball contains 90m and weights 1Kg. (8.5cm high and 15cm across).
And yup, we’re making eye contact with the Scorpians when we say this. Get into it, you single-minded self-starters and achievers!
But wait, there’s more to the story …
