I struggle with productivity and usually have to take an ADHD medication in the morning. I decided to do a small application of the Saturn Oil to start my day, tempering it with Sol in Leo oil as recommended. I had not taken my ADHD medication yet. Even from a small amount, the rise in my heart rate with really noticable, and I was taking on effects that were similar to my medication right from the bat. It's been a few hours and with my medication now also in my system, the amount of focus and clear headed accuracy my thoughts have is really incredible. I had originally bought this for buckling down on future projects and studying, and I'm now extremely glad I did. I think next time instead of Sol in Leo I might temper with the Empress oil, the sun ambience is a bit energetic and the Venus aspects might be more beneficial for my personal purposes. Regardless, a really powerful product.

Golden Goat oil had me getting stuff done like nobody's business--put some on the morning of a busy day during a soul-crushingly exhausting week, and I was giddily hopping from one one daunting task to the next. My tasks were all related to caring for and arranging the affairs of my very elderly parents, so the work was Saturnine to begin with. I have more of this work ahead of me, so I think the Golden Goat will be my companion. I can see why one wouldn't want to apply this every day, though, as I was very tired the next day.

This is probably one of my favorite waters. It’ calms, realigns, and invigorates. When I put it on, it allows me to just sit with myself without having to force myself to calm down. I imagine this is what a muscle relaxer feels like, but energetically, and without the side effects. It’s definitely medicine for the solar plexus and crown.

I love Water of Exalted Sol spray. I thought it would be a bit much for me a I am a Leo sun, rising, and venus, however it works wonders. Immediately after applying this spray I feel energized, invigorated, and rejuvinated. I would recommend this spray for when you need to get things done, but you just dont have the energy to get upo and go.

I use this spray when I want to reinforce boundaries, refocus, and project a more authoritative air when making calls on my work phone. Outside of work, I mainly use it to quickly reinforce a shift in feeling/energy and for respectfully asking for aid / protection. I often use other DA products in conjunction, or in the same day, as the spray.

Oddly enough, I sometimes get fewer people picking up the phone when I make outward work calls with this spray on me. I have no idea if that is a coincidence or if the spray makes me seem a bit intimidating (and with me being so gentle and yet in a decision-making position where I must be firm at times, anything helps! "A little intimidating" could translate into just what I need in some situations).

Regardless, I find the spray useful for feeling like I am "taken more seriously" when I should be. It is also useful for instilling a feeling of security and regaining my composure when my nerves are unusually shot in a given situation.

Overall, I suggest trying this spray or other Deneb Algedi items if you need to be taken more seriously in any challenging situation. Or, if you need favor in some form, especially in legal or justice related situations.

Thanks to Deneb Algedi for all of his help! His products are very versatile.

I have already bought this twice & while im not sure it turns my muscles into butter, it does help with whatever I put it on. I have a torn meniscus in my knee & I apply it there when it hurts, and also sometimes my stomach when im not feeling well & it works equally well to quickly take away the pain & help heal. also, I had a major surgery in January that left me mentally & physically busted & once safe, I began applying this to my scars daily & around my chest area for the healing combined with the warm, uplifting, clearing solar kind of boost, it was a beloved part of my every day morning routine for awhile there. I think having the salve in addition to the oils with same or similar properties helps because it caused me to stop & take time to give love to my body by rubbing it in, which is part of the healing. ive also applied it to a few friends who were in pain & they said it helped too. Can't speak strongly enough in favor <3

I opted to do use the Regulus tincture today taking into account the nature of the eclipse, and the nature of Fixed Stars. There's an expansive Jovian quality to it, its also gently solar, and it is uplifting both spiritually and mentally. Definitely has a strengthening influence. We're winding down the school year, and teaching during the pandemic has been a roller coaster, and the tincture allows you to step outside of the storm for a second, and breathe.

I chose to use to use the Son of Apollo yesterday instead of the other Asclepius materia because we're about to eclipse, and it seemed to be a fit for the candle ritual I had in mind. Without going into too much detail about the purpose, I found the oil both soothing, uplifting and gently solar. Great for healing, and definitely anxiety-soothing.

You want to super-power your coffee to get things done? This doesn't quite have the pep of a solar energy drink, but its got more staying power. I put 2-3 drops into my coffee, and have had a super productive morning. Again, strong Jupiter-Mars influence for me, and it manifests in getting shit done. Anything that seems like an obstacle today seems to just crumble under the focus I've been able to put into it. Crush metaphorical boulders with your mind! I'm sure I'm going to be exhausted later. But in the meantime....

If the Aldebaran water was basically turns you into the Terminator in getting shit done, Aldebaran powder is softer and gentler expression of that. It has some serious "do not mess with me" vibes. I find it more supportive than the water, but still as empowering and energetic as the water. For me, it has a strong Jupiter connection, and because my Jupiter and Mars are conjoined, it definitely manifests in the "get it done". I feel my will to do things to be expanded. Aldebaran doesn't mind putting the work into it, and puts you in that mindframe.

I was gifted Jupiter in Sagittarius self-igniting incense with my last order. I've never used anything other than the hydrosols and oils before. I found a neat golden "magic" lamp for incense at a local shop that I thought would be perfect for this. It burns easily and smells beautiful. I use it to activate sigils my daughter and I create. I feel uplifted and optimistic when using it. I'm loving the experience of burning incense again (it's been a long time) and will be purchasing other series in this form.

I think that DA's incense has a very heavy do not mess with me vibe, leaning more into the stern Sky Grandpa vibe (as opposed to the kindly one). I've used the incense now twice in ritual for my DA talisman and its been v. helpful in creating the right space and energy.

My experience with Diadem of Myriad Rays is very akin to TAL Sunlight. Definitely solar, and like liquid sunshine. It's rejoicing in life. I applied this before going out to dinner (post-COVID times) at a food hall. And while several stalls were shut down, and eating space was outside, it was still a joy to be there and cause for celebration. If you wanted to thank the Sun for all of its magnificent light, this would do the trick.

I've used the water of DA for protection around the home and in the office, spraying it both in the atmosphere and on myself. This is my second time using the water to prep a space, the first time was when I received a Warnock talisman. Now, its just to say thank you to Sky Grandpa.

I have to say that the water works great for protection, boundary enforcement, and providing security.

This perfume has powers. I have been using it on and off along the Luminous Crown oil and this past week I had an important art event in a big gallery and decided to use it.
It went from waiters coming to me first for serving drinks, hosts talking to me and then found myself within 20 minutes of arrival being introduced to the main curator of the show and some other high caliber art people. It went on from having amazing conversations to people and some adding me on social media in the next day. Incredible!

Disclaimer: I like to use tinctures (1-2 drops) in a glass of water and ingest, which is my personal use. With that said.

For me the Exalted Sol tincture is like an energy drink. You flagging? Unable to concentrate? About to give up? Exalted Sol gives you the ability to get going. Now, its absolutely possible to use too much and go overboard. But on the days that you may need some extra oomph, ES is there to help you.

To me the entire ES line has been about the harnessing the energy of the Sun, and as we get closer and closer to the summer solstice, it seems to carry just a little extra juice.

I impulsively sprayed myself with Water of Exalted Sol before a 2+ hour meeting with my supervisor, and this gave me some stamina. We were mapping out the work that needed to happen before the end of the month, and enabled me to tap into structure and work with concentration, which can be challenging when you're doing a 2+ virtual meeting.

This was like dousing myself in some sunshine. The day started off kinda cloudy and rainy, and instead of being drawn down because of that, I was able to keep being productive. I would recommend this whenever you know you have a work day. Maybe not quite as hyper-focused and kick-ass as Aldebaran, but ES water is more like a good shot of espresso. For me Aldebaran was very no-nonsense and very internal, whereas ES allowed me to be able to engage with another person and still get work done.

Jupiter's Favor to me right now was all about benevolence. It has a definite "share the wealth" aspect, in which whatever blessings you pass on will return back to you. It's the definition of success when its not just personal success but shared success. I definitely feel the Regulus influence as well, and it codes slightly solar because of that.

Jupiter's Favor allows you to embody some of the best of Jupiter's traits. In my case, my Jupiter is conjoined Mars, so it bears out in very action-oriented ways.

Jupiter's Lightning Rod Water is very different from say the Jupiterian Anointing Tincture. The description of gentleness and nurturing is apt. It's almost like Jupiter is picking you up, cradling you, and saying, "look good things are gonna come, I just know it!" (the tincture by comparison was like here's a lightning bolt, have fun).

Whereas several of the Luminous Crown, Exalted Sol, and Golden Sol, are almost like aggressively optimistic, with perhaps little acknowledgement of whatever blues you may be feeling. This Jupiterian water on the other hand is like the impetus to open the blinds, and let the light in.

I feel like this is a great entry point to anyone re: starting using Jupiterian materia or getting in tune with their Jupiter.

Also literally today was supposed to be rainy all day, and the clouds have cleared up and now I see sunlight. Which is just awesome.

The scent is very powdery going on and as such, I tend to put around my ankles to get the effects but not smell it. It has a slightly warming nature to me and I've used it along with my other S & S wares during interviews and it has been part of my coterie of support items to keep focused and grounded during them - when I use it I'm more focused and present in my grounded and executive self. I'm buying a few more wares to support my job search and life upgrade - including Adelbaran and Empress - I'd like to keep the completion at bay so might add some Goat.
