Client Field Reports + Experiences Since 2018
Though I’ve counted on Asclepius materia for the past four or so iterations, this is my first experience with the salve. It’s a lovely texture that absorbs quickly and leaves no stickiness or greasiness. It’s quite potent, maybe even more so than the oil which was unexpected. The salve packs a powerful punch- even if that punch is wrapped in a velvet glove. The Lion's Roar scent felt strong at first, but there's a big difference how it smells in the bottle vs. on skin. I gave it another try on another day (on Sun's day / hour) and somehow, it has now settled and smells lovely on my skin. I noticed some appointments I felt hesitant and reluctant about (but went along with anyway), got cancelled right after applying. I felt relief and I believe Lion's Roar protection was at work . It does increase patience. For me it has really underscored to "understand the mysteries of time and the passage of time". It allows me to see the bigger picture and less concerned by any small problems. I find it more ethereal and contemplative than the previous reviewers. I would recommend especially to those dipping their toes to the Saturnian world for the first time. A good entry point. Ever since I have this oil I oint myself behind the ears and on the neck and sometimes also wrists as a daily self-love practice. Going through several very rough transits from Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus at the moment it eases my day and brings a feeling of warmth, kindness and love very close to me. Really thankful to have it in my life. Took two dropper-fulls of on a particularly bad day and the mood instantly relaxed; felt mildly high too lol! Started taking half droppers in the mornings of stressful days and it really helped me go with the flow without the same intense relaxation of the bigger dose. In the chillest night, I was in hurry to grab a green hoodie and I anointed Golden Sol II to my forehead and both ears. I was reciting hymns in a bit hurry. My soul was sparked so brightest in the night. I felt so confident. We went to haunted house and there were overcrowd. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by many people. Fact, I couldn’t stop smiling. A stranger decided to scare me by tapping my shoulders harder, but I didn’t feel scared at all. I turned my head to stranger and I smiled. I was feeling so comfortable and being goofy. After that night, I still can see my memory (haunted house) in my head. I really had a greatest time! I am really glad to have this Golden Sol II, seriously! I will use this for social events and I can show off my confidence! If you want to be seen by someone, buy this (leave some for me, pls) and you will witness a divine comes from heaven (metaphor). Praise to Golden Sol II! I love this balm. I find it's somehow more effective when applied to the bottom of my foot. Another incredible offering by Sphere + Sundry. Really enjoy working with this and drawing sigils. It feels dense and kind of dynamic. Not that it's important for ink, but I think it smells really nice! Beautiful scent. I took a few days to adjust to this energetically because it feels like it's 'working away' on me. Once I was in tune with it, it was really powerful. I first lit this at dawn and saw the most beautiful golden sunrise I've ever seen.
I have used this incense as a smoke bath to prime engagement with other offerings from this series, as well as cleansing my space of dark energies. It is effectively cleansing and yet whole-making and uplifting at the same time, doesn’t strip away too much. Smells mainly of orange and ginger to me, so lovely This has become my go-to bedtime materia combined with Asclepius, as I find that this expression of Luna gets me more in the mood for sleep than Exalted Luna. When I put it on I feel sensitized to my body again. Makes me feel “real” again. I feel tender and loving towards myself. I do find that it works best to layer Luna in Cancer with something else, otherwise sometimes it can feel disorienting/confusing. Asclepius and Jupiter are my favorites for layering.
Highly recommend as an addition to offerings, especially for remediation… or take a drop under the tongue before mantras. For amplifying any spirit relationship. You know how when you’re holding something and it’s heavy and your arms are about to give out? Smelling this oil gives me that feeling. It’s almost too much. Almost.
This kolonia is beautiful medicine for countering feelings of depression, melancholy, anxiety, fear, Saturn woes, lethargy, fatigue, and insecurity. I also find it supremely helpful for exercise and promotion of self care. Thank you S&S (: This truly makes you feel like you are floating in a cloud. When I first used the salve I felt mentally grounded and completely at peace. I also had a really bad tension headache that ibuprofen barely elliviated. Within a few minutes my headache was gone. Feeling anxious about the coming work week? Light this up on Sunday night and sunset and get cozy. Enjoy a big dinner. Go to bed early. Feel absolutely nourished and optimistic, but also calm and soothed. I just love this entire sub series. I'm extremely sensitive to situations where I'm among people I don't like or think unlikely to like me, so I definitely was attracted to this perfume. I love the berry scent, but the effects are amazing. It's kind of like Venus as Honey Badger-- don't like me? I don't care, *I* like me. The result is that people who would usually rub me the wrong way, and vice versa, are so much easier to deal with, and relations are smoothed over. It also helps me see the beauty in others, as well. Might just be the thing we need to heal the world. 😉 I have always had solar issues and have had difficulty with solar materia in the past. I’ve done some work on it with Regulus and things have improved. Since working with Golden Sol 2 I have had the ability to advocate for myself in a more productive way. As a result I received a $4 an hour raise, huge for me. I have been able to notice and extricate individuals from my life that are not healthy. It has not been an easy process and has taken some self reflection but the materia has really helped with my self awareness and self esteem. I have also been able to stop putting my resources into the wrong things and people and I’m well on my way to being debt free. This isn’t a cure all but a very strong ally facilitating trust in myself and the work I have been doing on myself I have the oil for this, as well, and I love how it makes me feel like my heart is armored but not removed from situations. Like being able to experience pleasure and joy without being open to heartbreak. The incense is a wonderful offering to Venus, and helps guide the tone of petitions in the same way-- bring me creative energy, beauty, and magnetism, but with a backbone of steel. I cannot wait to restock on all things Eirene! Luna in Cancer is an absolute necessity for anyone doing magical workings. It really demonstrates the concept of catching the timing in a bottle. Transits not that great? Boost other materia with a sprinkle of powerful Moon. On its own, it's also nigh on hallucinatory and great for connecting to the ephemeral. Everything in this series is just exquisite. Cannot get enough of it (and plan to restock and get new items soon!). The incense creates an atmosphere that is nurturing, nourishing, and protective. Just having this in the air makes my home feel so cozy, comforting, and safe. Definitely going to be leaning on this one a lot in the 2025 and 2026 skyweather! I've been using this for Mars-Venus workings in conjunction with Eirene incense, and WOW, it is fast acting and powerful. I also find that it's great for just generally lifting my spirits when I have a lot of work to do, more so than the grind that Saturn in Capricorn provides or the anxious, buzzy, GO GO GO of Exalted Mercury (even though I love those, too). Definitely for day side use-- I tried using it on sunset on Friday for Mars night, and I was up waaaaaaay too late. But if you need a boost of get up and go energy, this infuses your home with a joyful drive. I have an 8th House Sun conjoined Neptune, which has been a rough placement to have my whole life. This particular election has Sol exactly on my natal North Node, so it's challenging to wear on my body, but as an offering to Sol, this incense is perfect. The scent is lovely and uplifiting, and I get to experience the benefits of its atmospheric brightening without putting essentially an eclipse on my body. Leo is my 4th House, and this makes my home feel cozy and bright.
I agree with another review of this about bringing up old stuff, I had a very similar experience. It has an excavating quality you kind of have to be ready to work with. This is powerful and put to very good use!
The smell….absolutely otherworldly. Delicate, feminine, slightly fruity?….yet mysterious and hard to pinpoint. I adore this salve.
So warm and fortifying, the spiked fence that guard what is pure.
Smells like a man whose name I can’t remember.
Attractive, hot sexy man.
I wouldn’t apply just to see what happens. I treat is as a weapon and use it as such.
