I've been using Regulus III oil to annoint my crown, Mercury of Gemini on my forehead, lips/throat, and a mist of Jupe Juice over all of it before big social events, it's a winning combination for me.

Like many of the other reviewers, I notice this oil's effects more in the reactions of people around me--it quietly but powerfully draws benevolent attention. I get complimented on my work, on my mode of dress, etc.. I also feel like my voice in particular is louder/stronger, and I get heard when I speak, while the Mercury in Gem and Jupe in Sag makes me more inclined to speak up and my words well-received.

I *love* this oil so much and I'll definitely have to make sure I don't run out. It's delightfully invigorating. I have a natal Mercury in Scorpio so the light and playful spin and mental energy boost is extremely welcome, and it seems to make small talk with random strangers a more enjoyable experience. I don't usually use it before art or writing or anything like that, it can actually ruin my focus for those particular things, but it's fantastic for driving.

HUGE Fan of this whole series and its smell including this Kolonia. Clean and calm, ready to take on the day energy bottled. This kolonia is a must have for anyone who enjoys this form. I use mine almost everyday. Helps me get out of my own way and do what needs to be done.

After my neighbor started becoming a real pain in the ass (too much of a long, sordid story to tell here…just trust me when I say they were being really shitty), I used some of my DAII salt in a protective working, sprinkling it along the windowsill and the front doorway while in ritual. Within a matter of days…sweet relief! The problematic neighbor settled down, no further conflict or confrontation required. Like the other reviewers, I found these salts to be potent, effective, and fast-acting.

The perfect spray for movie & pizza nights curled up on the couch with my partner. The epitome of chill.

This body butter has a slightly herbal but mostly neutral scent, and it has a profound moisturizing effect on dry skin. When I apply it to my legs, I am able to walk greater distances (and with less pain!) than normal. Super helpful for those of us with task initiation issues, as well.

After applying several heavy sprays of this water on my pillows and sheets before bed, I quickly fall into a calm, placid slumber. The disturbances, somnambulism, and night terrors that have plagued me my whole life are mostly muted, and instead of waking up to an immediate sense of stomach-plunging existential dread, I feel more secure and balanced upon waking. Despite having milder effects than the steep and smoke from this series, this spray is still a helpful, beloved ally! While floral scents are *really* not my thing, luckily the rose notes in this water fade so quickly that I don’t end up with a headache.

I wasn't sure what drew me to the subset. I'd read it through before, didn't feel an affinity. But one morning I was drawn to it, and am profoundly glad I followed that intuition. I tend to be someone who picks up the feelings of others, often in ways that are confirmed. But it's not the most straightforward way of processing, and can lead to confusion, anxiety, etc. Just a whiff of gator powder and I very quickly got a visceral sense of the dynamics with a work situation for others involved - like I could see what was happening, and got a straightforward just-the-facts report. Gamechanger. I could now glimpse something that made no sense until that moment. Clarity. Which is what I need at this point, and could have made life a lot more straightforward over the years. I often thing of situations as tangled - gator helps me untangle and perceive with greater lucidity.

Fist-sized citrine stones. A perfectly painted Lunar goddess figurine. A vintage wooden camel complete with holy water container. A decorated Cuban cigar box. A bust of Nefertiti. A road safety medal awarded to a driver in the year of my birth that, now anointed with DA oil, and tweaked by a healer friend, has become an ally.

Above is just some of the booty that's found its way into my life since door-key oil joined the crew. I'm a pretty capable thrift warrior already. Some days now I feel I've become the Indiana Jones of the scene, and mostly I'm not even looking for anything specific but things are finding me on a regular basis.

Solutions too. Met up with a friend yesterday, and everything synchs for him to do some work on my house: it's about who he is at least as much as the skills he has. We parted, and two minutes later another friend showed up and over a coffee we cracked the core - the spirit really - of a comic/magazine we've been developing a while now, and discovered an identity that captures where me and he are with the world and which the zine feels like a special fit for.

Honestly, I got this to see if it would help with some stubborn chronic pain from a mysterious injury/inflamed issue with my psoas on one side (basically the entire side - very difficult to ignore). It was angry and refused to relent despite trying many approaches (rest, stretch, acupuncture, etc.). By the second day of applying it once daily, still engaging in gentle stretching - I was (finally!) beginning to feel some relief. I think a more undercurrent-like effect was being able to figure out what was potentially causing the pain to get worse, like I could hear my body better. I noticed it was easier to ground into the ability to actually release, almost like a stamina for the yin side of what I needed. I am still recovering and being aware of the area, but it is *significantly* better than it was.

Okay...so I ordered the lip balm and the oil and this doesn't specify which of the two this is for, so I'm just gonna review the oil since I've had the chance to work with it and the results are so good I decided to order the roll-on as well. First off, when I was reading the write up, I got major sphinx vibes...not that all the sphinxes fly, but that's the imagery I was getting. Anyway, I've got Libra rising in my chart, so I decided I needed a little more sun vibes in my life and I'm always here for big kitty energy. The first time I wore this, I had one of the best work days in a long time (filled with lots of laughter and attention and affection... particularly from male coworkers, which I don't mind matching the masculine intensity every now and then...but it's maybe not for everyone). Outside of work, the day ended with a much-needed cuddle session. If you ever see cats napping with each other where they are all floppy and comfortable and owning the entire space and their partner, that's what I mean. The second time I wore this, I asked my boss to leave work early on a whim and was given the rest of the day off. As a note, if you need to get stuff done, this might not be for you. I wore this to work on both days and a lot of time was spent goofing off and socializing/wandering around the nearby park, enjoying nature. Three-quarters of my chart is Virgo, so I can rein it in just enough to get everything done. But if you're prone to being flighty or you are constantly monitored, this might need to be a strictly day off materia.

Very different than the regular Mercury in Gemini energy. Rather than the talkativeness and the effervescence, it is much more deep, introspective and quiet. Very helpful in finding patterns and solutions and finding out cause-effect relationships.

I feel like this oil works behind the scenes. You almost forgot what this energy brings until you pay attention to it. What I believe is that it works by changing the mindset of yours about scarcity, lack of resources and shortage.

You really do feel the effects of eloquence, speaking more clearly and precisely and people do tend to understand what you say more easily. What you say becomes to have a weight not in an intimidating way but more like with the right and precise words.

Lightly stimulating and delightfully bitter. "Delightfully bitter," you say, "how is such a thing possible?"

Many things that are good for you...taste awful. This is no exception.

I am extremely Mercurial, so your mileage may vary, but this stuff makes me feel right and good when drunk as a tea. Don't drink before bedtime. Conserving the little I have left.

Very good to take 15 minutes before meals under the tongue, as it contains many bitter plants that stimulate bile flow and digestion.

I reach for this a little bit less frequently than other S+S materia - you only think about your health when you don't have it, as the saying goes - but it's one of the first things I grab when I have a cold coming on.

Interested to know what long-term healing is possible with it...
And the healing does not feel confined to the physical realm, mind you...

Melts into a soothing oil instantly against body heat. Promotes an aura of loveliness and completeness, a suredness in yourself.

Gorgeous, icy iris pallida and hyacinth stem over minty and earthy resinous base. Smells expensive - and it is!

Beware! So cheerful and solar it will stain clothes yellow. Wear it in pockets. Magnetizes attention to you, especially when performing. Somewhat unwieldy texture because of the mugwort.

More "hot" than other items in the series, which can be quite cooling depending on form.

Promotes tireless work. Be sure to check in with your body and its needs, as this tincture wants you to get shit done.

Not bad as a pre-meal bitter to promote better digestion. Still, feel like it wants to promote workhorse energy compared against other series items that seem to have more of that Hygeia energy,

To say this is a strong jasmine aroma is an understatement, and the salve preserves the delightful indolic qualities of the flower.

I find this so potent and stilling that I rarely reach for it (as with most Saturn materia). Good before bed.

Have put to the test for freezer spells and self-binding of harmful habits. Haven't heard from the recipients so seems like it worked.

Don't use if you cannot keep to your commitments - Saturn materia may provide karmic backlash.

Strongly receptive - can hold negative energy or emotions.

Placed in a jar beside the bed and successfully warded off nightmares after a bad stretch of them.

Strong camphoraceous scent that I find very pleasing but others may find intense or overpowering.

I have only used this incense a handful of times, and nearly always when Luna was conjoining Antares during her monthly pass through Sagittarius.

I burned and offered to the sky, passed my workout clothes through it, and said the Orphic Hymn to Antares. Then spent the entire walk to the gym using the name of the star as a mantra.

Promotes explosiveness. May overheat confidence. Does not fuck around, but is a gentler spirit than its reputation might suggest. This Virgo rising's experiences with Antares have been incredibly reassuring and healing.

The spirit informed me I did not need to ask its help in becoming a champion; I already am one, and my draw to this energy is not because I lack its qualities, but because we are kindred in spirit.

Antares Antares Antares Antares Antares

I'd wear this kolonia as a perfume - and I'm not all that into traditional *masculine* scents.

This little bottle goes a LONG way - I am less inclined to overapply or douse myself with it like I am other kolonias - applied to the torso and neck, it resets the aura and infuses it with a steady, cheerful, and calm yang energy.

Less potently energizing than some of the other forms in the series. Makes you smell like a handsome spy.

A few drops placed under the tongue instantly slows the nervous system and provides a cooling effect to the constitution. Good if you're feeling wired, angry, or impulsive.

Need to experiment with more dedicated ritual work, mainly use the EL series casually on Mondays or on days when I'm feeling in need of restoration.

I mainly wear this before workouts or when attempting to commune with Antares when the moon is conjunct the star.

Cumin-forward, but pleasant. Provides direction and focus.
