Client Field Reports + Experiences Since 2018
I apply this wonderously healing, strengthening, and sturdying salve along my entire spine before challenging yoga classes and this has seen me through to becoming physically stronger and sturdier in healthy and measured ways. But it’s also helped me become more mentally strong in building my capacity to tolerate (and make the most of!) the discomfort associated with physical activity and exercise. I can also attest to its effectiveness in reducing physical pain or wear and tear from going too hard. It also smells sooooo good, it’s vetiver forward which is sooo swoooooon. This is a particularly potent kolonia and so a little really does go a long way! It smells absolutely stunning—rich, earthy, clearing, sparkling, bright and very expertly crafted…it smells like how you might imagine or hope that a gorgeous stained glass artwork would smell like, if it could lol! I like to use this in my office in my nebulizer/diffuser to call in CAPII’s arcana to great effect I adore this form! It’s my first lip balm, and I’m not in the least disappointed with the investment. It’s perfectly lubricating, smoothing, sealing, softening and smells like it’s been kissed by palo santo and the richest and most beautifully perfumed earth. It’s really something. I can easily tolerate it for daily use and it’s been such a strengthening companion in my now almost daily yoga practice, beautifully rounded out by layering with Horn of Oak BPAL. It has been a magnetic force for powerful collaborators and effective and efficient (and healing!) communication when I use it in my work and business. Adding this tincture to my evening tea helps create a bedtime routine of soft and irresistible options that brings about restorative sleep and gentle recalibration. This incense is extremely potent, even just being near it while it’s burning as a Lunar offering. Using it this way has cleared blockages to understanding my Lunar sphere and how I can better process emotions and address Lunar issues. I also use it to dress candles for a slightly less intense Lunar experience! This is the oil to use if you want your body to relax and unwind after a stressful day. A little dab helps calm you head body and soul and allows you float into a relaxing night of sleep I blew through an 18oz bulk bag in no time and had to restock after I realized I wasn't ready to run out. It does have a lavender scent but it isn't super strong. Works well with Butter Ocean Materia if you're wanting to layer, results are extra-super-charged-relax mode. Definitely makes you want to linger in the bath. Still a huge fan of this series. This lip balm smells amazing, and is not too strong as to trigger scent issues for me. Love the new tubes and labelling. After applying I felt a heightened awareness and ease at the same time, almost like a subtle intoxication. I opened it after getting it and once I smelled this I had to use it. Hoping to use with intent on more creative pursuits, I think it'll be fun! I combined these recently with DA to make a bangin' floor wash, and I've also used these as a foot soak. They are supremely grounding and clarifying, and very affirming in terms of Sovereign themes. I also find the new packaging super beautiful and feel like these salts in particular smell really really good. I highly recommend them! So this works. And it tastes awful. It elevates and uplifts your spirit, banishes melancholy and perfect to drink before social gatherings and meetings! I've used this oil after experiencing major medical trauma. It was the only thing that helped. It immediately reduces any anxiety I have and makes me feel hopeful. It is hands down my favorite Sphere and Sundry offering. Thank you! I became curious about this offering when others talked about having such good experiences with it in the Client Community. After working with it a bit I totally get way it's a fave. It's supremely grounding and clarifying without being depleting. It gives an air of serious consideration and an overall feeling of safety. Excited to keep working with this. 🙂 This might just be one of my top three favorite products EVER from S+....it's just that good. As I've worked more with Materia I've realized that the form combined with the power can really activate aspects of the election/magical work, like Luna waters just hit different because Luna has command over water and waters, ect. The Venus-Fom lip balm is exactly that: this is a form that adds synergy when applied because of the sensitivities of the lips! My favorite lip balm to anoint others with a kiss. And the hydration....this is a deeply hydrating lip balm. Just luxurious and perfect in every way. Highly *highly* recommend. Great for cleansing your aura, for cleansing space (will also have to try cleansing my tarot decks with it!). One spritz on my face and I feel refreshed, it feels like a nice breeze. Also, the spray water form is just super convenient. I've also used it before sleep on my pillow and it made me fall asleep instantly, even after my cat woke me up at 3 am. BUT I felt like I remembered every single dream I had during the night, I literally couldn't count how many things I've seen in my dreams on the nights I've used it, it was so many. I'm already usually a vivid and intense dreamer but that was quite a lot ahah. I take one drop in the morning with my herbal tea and it makes me ready for the day. Definitely gives me more energy and feels clearing in a way. I have a few materia from this series and I like to layer it with the oil or water when I'm feeling like a headache is coming or when my energy levels are down... or when my long-covid symptoms kick in I'd also say this is by far the most convenient form of Asclepius so if anyone is debating on which form to get first, I'd say tincture for sure. On its own, everything from this series is good for just getting shit done on a day to day basis. But I find myself more often layering this tincture with an oil from another series, to facilitate making actual, tangible progress towards a specific goal. For extra oomph, add Thema Mundi… just trust me! This really is some of the best Martial support I’ve used from S+. I honestly feel indebted to this series, because now I feel like I have the tools to actually make my dreams a reality.
Totally worth the $3! If you haven’t tried using bath salts in a scrub bundle, I highly recommend it if you’re trying to get the most out of your bath salts and don’t always have time for a proper bath. I like to wrap mine in a washcloth when I use it to scrub in the shower. I also recommend soaking it in some water to help get the herbal bits out after each use, as this also helps make the bag last longer. Highly recommend this ash if you are a regular loose incense user. I find that this helps the most with making the incense burn evenly to avoid waste. It also allows the scent of the incense to shine through and gets more burn time than if you were using charcoal. S+ incenses are very precious and I hate to waste even the tiniest pinch! My ADHD brain doesn't derail me as easily from my grander schemes under the influence of this oil. It may help that my natal Venus and Jupiter are in this decan (which can tempt me toward sweet and shiny excesses!) This oil resonates subtly and powerfully, keeping me better aligned to my goals, while also not feeling Saturnian bereftness either. I love this tincture so much. I’ve been wearing it during the work week for several weeks now and find that I am taken more seriously and feel confident taking charge at work. I find that my posture is better and I feel grounded and at ease within myself. What a treasure to my arsenal!! Normally, I would opt for powder, but the salt said "Pick me!" and I'm glad I went with it since it's getting the job done swimmingly. I use at my bedroom door to keep the assholes I live with away from me and it works for that. I washed my windows a few weeks back and added a line of Firey Wall on the outer sill and I cannot even begin to explain the events that it triggered. I was previously using FWoP salts in a cup of water at my windowsill inside my room, but I switched recently to DAII for eclipse season. I'm pretty sure good ol' Mars has been keeping me up so be warned that inside use might have that effect on you too. Otherwise, good stuff! I wish Venus materia didn't trigger all of my trauma, but it does. Normally, I'll soldier on because I prefer to machete my way through the bad stuff, but unlike Empress, this Venus does not trigger momentous amounts of rage. It just unearths trauma and unleashes horrific nightmares if I use this near bedtime. I blame my 8H Pluto in Libra. But if I use it during the day, I will do nothing. It's a bummer because this oil feels good on the skin. The herby, floral scent is pleasant and using it in spite of the unpleasant effects undid some of the rapid aging that I went through last spring due to insane stress. I just need to find a companion for it, but I've been too much of a chicken to try. Once eclipse hell is over, I'll try to find a friend for it. Maybe bind my perimeter with Mars in Cap beforehand? Oh, and one of the other "side-effects" is horniness so maybe I WILL try pairing this with Mars and see if ritual sex offsets some of the daytime laziness. This is an interesting one. It’s potent, dreamy, meditative, supportive and ethereal but I also feel like I have not found “my” use for it yet. But it doesn’t feel “wrong” at all. More like I will be able to come back to it at the right time. I am anticipating getting to know it better then Which may be your thing, but I initially found the scent a bit off-putting until I got used to it a bit (has a slightly musty, slightly-damp woolen socks aroma - thankfully it's subtle but definitely there). It is *incredibly effective and gentle*, providing a very reliable energetic buffer which is great for daily application, but because of the scent profile I usually only use DA in this form when I really feel a need for more full-body application than the oil or even salve easily allow (for the record, I have zero complaints about the scent profiles of those!). Highly recommend as a great staple materia, but for me the small size BB does the trick as my nose doesn't often gravitate towards it I don't use it often but the days I did use it when I was leaving the house, I felt like people were just getting out of my way. That's really what I wanted to use it for so I guess it's working. I also ued it for energetical cleansing and when cleansing my tarot decks. The only thing I must say is that I need to watch out where I spritz it, because the first time I've used it, I just spritzed it on my head/aura and damn, the way it made me instantly dizzy... I felt awful for the whole day straight. The next time I used it on myself (not on the head but close to the body), I had a similar experience. So now I only use it on my purse/jacket etc.
On a more mundane level, also, this series to me feels like such a Lunar hack. Strange but I don’t know how else to describe it! It helps so much with being in my body, staying present and even nurturing connections. When I want Lunar support and I can’t turn to Luna materia for whatever reason, especially for daytime use, this series comes to the rescue and I am so SO thankful.
