I've been using this pretty consistently since it came to me in mid-June, so obviously will still be in observation mode for longer term impacts. But! I wanted to talk about an unexpected feature of using this oil-- getting me to REST. I started noticing this when I'd want to get an extra boost on doing work, and instead my urges went completely to "nope! go lie down!" So now, if I use it before I really start my day, I can feel the benefits to any productive thing I want/need to get done and then I easily transition into resting. I love it for that and am excited to keep using it!

I felt cautious about using the spray when it arrived because I didn't want to casually expose my Black housemates or neighbors to a higher risk of interacting with the police.

Then major disruptions happened at my work. Someone was laid off (badly), and I had a twelve hour day where I was asked to do an unreasonable amount of work. I got a migraine that stuck around overnight, and the next morning it felt like the right time to use the spray.

Almost immediately I went outside and felt compelled to thoroughly weed my garden for the first time all season.

After weeding I send the clearest, most direct email to my boss calling out sick. It was very matter of fact and I think it was the first time I’ve given zero detail about why I needed to take time off.

I met with a friend in the early evening and as he started telling me about his wife getting into an accident I had a tingly feeling that ~this~ was how the spray had “brought the law” for this round of use.

My friend’s wife hadn’t stopped in time and had totaled their car in the back of a large police SUV, which was totally fine. When she walked up to check that they were ok, they were entirely unconcerned and had driven off.

As far as totaling a car goes, it turned out as well as possible since it won’t affect their insurance that she was at fault because there’s no record.

A few weeks later I used the spray to anoint a sigil about focusing my attention that I put inside the case of my cell phone. I noticed afterwards that since I was away from home I was using my cell phone to navigate everywhere, and I felt *extremely attentive* and compelled to follow speed limits at all times even though I was in a pretty rural area. I also saw a greater number of state police cars for the next few days than I’d seen earlier.

I hope it helps to have some examples of how the “bring the law” part might show up in a small-scale way. I plan to continue using the spray (judiciously!) for specific applications when needed.

In this especially challenging time, one of the greatest challenges is finding peace--even pleasure--amidst the many anxieties that linger and persist.

This oil is the sun that rolls away the storm clouds. It is both fortifying and calming, soothing as it strengthens. I feel as though a fog has lifted from my mind, and will be using it to protect my loved ones and assist and support the healers in my life.

I took a foot bath with the tincture and finished it up by putting the salve on my feet and putting socks on for a few hours. (I have thick scar tissue on my feet that has required multiple surgeries and a lot of Cortisone shots and only acupuncture has prevented another surgery.) The next day I could move one of my feet much more than before! A couple of days later I wore the same pair of socks again and this morning I feel some kind of sensation in the other, much more thickly scared, foot. The nerves have been removed and I'm feeling something! I'm using this again tonight! This might seem pricey but how much would a doctor appt. and a shot cost? If I wear the wrong type of shoe or boot for a few days, off to the doctor for another steroid shot in a few months. Keep making this stuff!

I never tried a tincture before so I took a foot bath with it the day I got it, a Friday I had called off work due to not feeling well. I felt like an Asthma flare up was turning in to Bronchitis and my feet hurt too. This is definitely different than Asclepius I and II and the chart really helps. That night I woke up three times with a continuing dream about an odd health question I had about myself. Really digging into my subconscious. The next day I brought this to work and put some on the floor around my chair and on the threshold to my office door. I could only stay three hours and I slept all day Sunday. But, I feel great and I won't get Bronchitis.

I think this is my favorite incense from Sphere & Sundry to date. The scent transports me to both a temple AND a bakery! Because over half the pantheon are honoured in this series I've been using it for planetary prayers every day other than Wed/Thurs to great effect. This series feels like a throne for my Saturn- ruled 8th house Aqua sun.. I feel more assertive to state my opinions rather than backing away into the shadows and i've become less hurried/ stressed, taking on a stoic grace rather than FML-ing all over the place. LC slowly teaches you things.. what an honor to be able to partake of it!

This was an absolute delight! It left my skin clean and smooth, yet very soft and dewy. It is no wonder the effect it had considering the union of influences this mask is composed of: Asclepious III, Asclepious II's Hygieia and even Venus in Libra! If you are new to honey masks, don't be put off by honey's stickiness, just do as advised and pat your skin. To remove it I gently massaged my skin with very wet fingers. The water combined with the mask turned it into a lotion which let the marvelous ingredients of the mask slip over the skin releasing even more of the subtle clean and refreshing scent of its healing and beautifying ingredients (not perfume!). I admit to massaging my skin gently for a short while once the mask turned all slippy--it was just soooo nice.

The silicone bottle was a nice touch too. It makes dispensing very convenient and will be great for travel (when that day comes again).

We were gifted this perfume and all i can say is it is AMAZING. I use it sparingly, but when I do, I get SO MUCH LOVE and PRAISE (and ORDERS!) for my artistic work (polymer clay sculptures) and when I use it for writing it is like a burst of sunshine and energy! Everything brightens and lightens! And it smells AMAZING. I hope you get more in because I am seriously hoarding this precious resource!!

The scent is amazing, beautiful. There are no words. If I feel like something is less than in my power, I reach for this. If I feel like someone I love needs help. I know I can go to this powder.

It is powerful.

Sit up! Straighten your shoulders! Chin up!

YOU ARE ROYALTY. This is your crown, and your duty is to serve. The sovereign has power, but has to take care of their subjects, or they are simply a tyrant.

If you need something to help you come in to your own, grasp you and elevate you to where you need to be, this is it. People will reach for you, and seek your aid. Magical, and mundane.

Make sure you're ready for that responsibility. This oil is a fantastic teacher, if you listen. Along with being a fantastic tool in your magic kit!

Compared to some other materia, Hekate Chthonia isn’t my favorite scent because it is quite strong and I tend to like my smells a little more subtle...but then again, this is Hekate we’re talking about and in my experience, there’s nothing subtle about the Queen of the Crossroads.
I use Hekate Chthonia in my ancestral work, to call upon her as psychopomp, and am deeply delighted and a little bit shocked at how effective this perfume is. Hekate makes her presence known very quickly and clearly after I apply it every time. It has increased the intensity and clarity of my ancestral connections and helped deepen my bond with this facet of Hekate considerably. Grateful to S&S and BPAL for this powerhouse of a product!

I'm just at the beginning of my journey with LC as it's powerful and I've been measured in my use of it. Using this combined with the Orphic hymns is very powerful! I notice the energy of the planet/God all through the day. I've also noticed that it highlights boundary issues for me and I need to be patient with others and myself, as fixed boundary dynamics don't change overnight. It makes me feel 'solid', as I'm super 'watery'. It provides a feeling of 'safety' within myself, but also strong nudges of where I need focus my growth efforts on myself. I'm mindful that I need to be careful to not come across as too forceful in my opinions when using it...but also a shoring up of trust in my own intuition and perspectives. It's motivated me to include Luna, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Sol in my practises/altar. For this I'm grateful. It feels like it's building more of a cohesive spiritual framework. I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey/work!

First of all, this is not something to play with lightly. The energies contained in this series are potent, and if you approach them in a way that’s disrespectful, or without a really good reason, then this series isn’t for you. My magical practice already involved a goddess who closely resembles Kali, which I believe to be an aid to my use of this materia.

There’s an adjustment period. I had a noticeable headache after I first ordered the Algol oil. That subsided and we’ve had a brief but good relationship together. I’ve only used this oil twice, once to anoint an Evil Eye glass, and the other in a ritual for justice. Both were successful, but I encourage you to cleanse your space very well after! The following morning after the ritual, a family member of mine was stung by a wasp, which hasn’t occurred in years on our property. This was after I cleared my space with a good dose of a Regulus hydrosol.

Definitely recommend the oil, but just be careful!

This oil is regal, serious and ancient, with a vibrant, graceful sweetness. Often when I first try an S+S offering, I get a kind of “teaching download” about what it has to “say”. With LC, I had an extended half-asleep dream of some ancient solar consciousness- stable, infinite, radiating through the corridors of time, speaking of levels of mind that seem almost out of reach for a contemporary mortal… yet here it was, touching my being for a few moments, with an invitation to learn more. I find meditating with a single oil helps me learn/integrate their gifts. I have Sun, Moon, Venus, and Saturn ALL in signs of fall or detriment, and my Mars is neutral at best. I love all Kaitlin’s work- it is true Art- and LC feels especially balanced and lifting to me.

This spray is surprisingly effective at bringing me up from a low mood and finding more random joys throughout the day. Or, just starting a day off "better than expected."

Helpful for unusually stressful and crappy days and a useful tool for opening the way for better moments ahead. Uplifting and (for me) calming.

I use this spray primarily with products from different lines rather than alone.

I've used the Ancestral Channel oil in my weekly ancestral veneration rituals for the last month or so. The very first time of use I anointed myself with the oil and, after lighting my incense and candle and invoking my ancestors using the hymn S&S provides, I felt something touch the top of my left ear. It caught me completely by surprise and was unexpected but it was very comforting. I felt my ancestors' presence and knew they were at the altar with me. I'm looking forward to purchasing some of the Ancestral Empowerment materia next.

After having an incredibly deep healing experience from the first Asclepius series, I knew I needed to have more on hand for all purpose reasons and at the time of ordering because I had to have oral surgery for a long time standing dental issue that no matter what doctors did it always came back with issues. This resulted in the tooth in question having to be uprooted and pulled out. Needless to say, I needed the physical healing support and emotional support for the trauma of having to have another surgery yet again. I used the water and the oil in conjunction with the healing process which always includes integrating the spiritual and mental with the physical experience of pain and healing. The water of Asclepius is something I always want to have available. It is cooling, calming and so healing. It truly feels like divine holy water. Now with the realities and trauma of 2020, this water has been at the bedside and used every night before going to sleep and provides a sense of wellbeing and peace for a good nights sleep. So happy that there is a new Asclepius re-up since this one is sold out and I for sure have ordered more! Thank you Kaitlin for such beautiful medicine.

As a Pisces Moon native, I had to try this out. I got the oil and the water. The oil over time has a sickly sweet scent that I grow more accustomed to over time — I like it. I love how it looks in the bottle, too, with the little mushrooms and silver leaf floating around like in a dream world. I use this and the water before bed to enhance the dream state, and I do have to say I've noticed more dreams and I seem better able to interpret them and find new patterns or meaning in them. I apply to the base of my skull, on my third eye, and bottoms of feet and palms. I really enjoy this series so far.

Game changer for my dream work practice. I anoint my heart before bed and navigate through my shadow work in the dream world with clarity and ease. I've also used it a lot on my palms for reiki purposes and Gods dang does it fire up the palm chakras in a totally different way. Definitely a series-must for any practitioner of energy work, healing, reiki, massage, or medicine.

Queen's Exaltation had an immediate healing effect on me. I've been anointing myself with it daily (heart chakra and pulse-points) and I've really felt each facet of its election on me in different ways. Mars, Saturn and Sun have had me up and at it and taking initiative without grumbling or dragging my feet (you know, the way depression tends to dictate it). With my natal sect light and chart ruler moon in Aquarius and in the 8th, the stabilizing, self-assured nature of the exalted Taurus moon feels like a grounding, earthy balm to my soul. Really beautiful, validating, and empowering. Thank you ❤

I love this hydrosol! I wore it layered with Golden Sovereign for an art gala event. (Getting a free ticket for the event was lovely in itself). Definitely enjoyed the food, drink, and different art experiences on offer.

I've also noticed since working with it that I've been able to be more patient and receive pleasure, which had been a challenge in the past. Also I think I can accept compliments more easily.

Also, it smells amazing! I like to use it when it's self care time.
