Deneb Algedi really snuck up on me. The first time I applied the oil, I didn't really feel much, which is a huge contrast to a lot of my experiences with other S+S materia. I didn't feel floaty or fired up or preternaturally sleepy-cosy. And some weeks later, I still don't feel much that's very obvious.
But what I do feel? is better. I like to put it on the back of my neck and shoulders, so DA can literally "have my back." Those muscles? They relax. I find myself reaching for this oil more and more, and I really want to try to salve to compare. I think DA does have my back, in more ways than one.

This feels sacrilegious to say, but I think I like this one more than the standard Water of Asclepius! I could never quite get the latter to work in a way that I'd like, but the Kolonia has been easy to use and the effects have been much more noticeable. It's great for energetic cleansing after a rough day or if I'm sensing the start of some crossed conditions or unfriendly connections, and it's also been incredibly helpful in my medicinal regimen during this most recent, extremely pesky allergy season. Helps to layer other products on top of it or do some quick ritual to call back in some of the good after sloughing off all of the bad.
My natal Mercury is in Gemini, but I'm also an intensely introverted Saturn-ruled person, so this is a really nice supplement when I know I'll need to be a social butterfly or if I need an extra kick at work. Light, playful, and a bringer of ease and laughter. I also tend to find myself more adaptable in chaotic situations when I have this on. Definitely a distinctly different feeling from Merc in Virgo, which is very businesslike.
I splurged on the bulk size of this one because my natal Jupiter is debilitated in Gemini, and I knew I was in need of some longer-term remediation. I was also starting in a new role at my job, and this salve ASTOUNDED me with how much it aided me in both regards. I apply it every morning during the workweek as I'm getting dressed and feel the difference as soon as I put it on. I'm definitely Feeling things more when I have it on, rather than giving in to my tendency to space out, which is a challenge, but this Jupiter still provides me fortitude in spades to get through it and makes more comfortable with feeling my feelings and working through them instead of trying to run away from them.
Pairs very well with the Merc in Gemini series and does seem to play nice with Antares when I really need a kick in the ass.
Wonderful for ancestor work. I use this to dress candles on the new moon for some extra special spirit offerings, and right away I can feel them swirling around to partake. I don't notice that I'm dropping into trance any quicker than usual, but it's pretty easy for me to begin with which might be why. Besides, what matters more to me is whether the spirit crew likes it, and they most certainly do!
The phrase in the write up, "every lake fills from the bottom up and needs time to grow," is exactly what I've experienced working with this talisman over the past 2 years. I'm astonished at how centered and integrated I feel during a time of tremendous change in my personal and professional spheres. And the progress I have made in the areas we've intentionally focused to improve together.
So grateful!
I use in washes and sprays and it’s amazing.
I keep this beside my photo booth and use it before listing items for my small vintage business. Since incorporating it into my routine, I’ve noticed more shop activity and a greater sense of ease, gratitude, and optimism in my work.
i slept on Asclepius for the longest time but recently did a deep dive this eclipse season and it felt incredibly profound. i felt insulated from the gnarliest effects of the eclipse, and it felt like a time of shedding old skin in a productive way, and implementing healthy habits (and cutting unhealthy ones) more easily than i have been able to in the past.
The first thing I felt doing to cut borders of my favorite tarot deck. I was procrastinate it for a while. I felt the strange urge and correct mood doing it. Now my old deck of Thoth looks amazing! Thank you, guys!
You can really feel the invocations of the S+S spirits and also protective star Vega in this election. Would highly recommend connecting with the matching Exalted Venus, Fomalhaut, and Venus-Fomalhaut combo materia that most suits your needs too, I love the emphasis of the hypnosis on healing and meeting the moment.
I don't have a lot of experience with offerings like these and can hardly remember how I landed on Sphere and Sundry's site but I felt a pull to just try this one, as I had really been wanting to cultivate more friendship in my life. It was really fun to see how tendrils of connection and reconnection came up (and continued to) since using it. I'm thinking I may try others.
This anointing oil is precisely as described. I received it on a Friday, so I chose to use it that first day per the recommendations included in the purchase. It provided a calming affect, as well as enhancing/grounding of my femininity. When my partner came in after my using it, he was deeply attracted to me and got jealous of the avocado I was eating. I've continued using it each Friday to help me wind down and feel good about myself. It makes me feel slightly stoned. I've also used it to anoint my sandalwood comb and my makeup mirror. The scent is grounding and seductive, but doesn't linger longer than I want it to. Will definitely explore more options!
This is a much easier Spica to work with than the anointing oil! Still productive, but significantly more chill about it. This Spica will let me have my well-earned rest at the end of a long day. I think in the future I'll reserve the oil for anointing things and the body butter for anointing me.
When I promised I'd definitely show up to the party and now the last thing I want to do is go out and be seen... when I have a fancy work do but all I crave is reheated leftovers and a ten PM bedtime... that's the Aerial Queen's time to shine. This body butter is like a whole-body mask that conceals that I'd rather be in bed with a big dose of glitter and friendliness. Best of all, I even wind up enjoying it.
Spica is so excited to tackle your to-do list with you. She's so excited about it that maybe you're not actually going to sleep tonight. You're in the zone! Let's declutter the whole house! Let's reorganize the pantry!
I've learned my lesson. Spica is a morning friend. Under no circumstances am I getting her involved after 2 PM.
This is the one I reach for on drizzly gray mornings when I can't bear to get out of bed, when my get-up-and-go got up and went without me. The scent is an instant pick-me-up. This is much less "look at me" than Golden Titan; I would describe this one as a soft yellow blanket keeping me cozy on a bad day.
Sometimes, in the course of my job, I need to be perceived by four thousand people. And I don't think I'm ever going to like this, but this body butter has made it so much easier to handle that experience gracefully. It grounds me in my body and gives me a steady inner confidence that helps me keep my anxiety at bay when I'm being the host with the most.
Since I've started working with this oil, I've had some incremental changes occur regarding my long-term financial prospects. I learned that my stepdad, who I used to be somewhat at odds with, decided to include me in his trust alongside my half sister (his biological child) and my younger sister, who he raised (and was in his life far more than I was). He's started to include me in his financial/estate planning, and some interesting discussions have been initiated that have made me feel more secure about the future, even if I'm currently not in a great place financially. Though I keep encountering expensive ordeals that drain my savings (unforeseen automotive/health/dental/veterinary costs, etc), I've somehow managed to replenish what was lost over time—again and again—without getting mired in credit card debt. I haven't been working with this oil that long or that consistently, but I look forward to seeing what might be achieved when I really put it to good use!
I really enjoy pairing the Soverign's Decree Lip Balm with this oil. Together, they have a sort of synergistic effect that shifts the energy of my entire body, radiating out into the field around me and making me feel unstoppable. Interestingly, this oil also smells faintly of Carmex-brand lip balm, which I noticed immediately in the Sovereign's Decree Lip Balm; this is a scent that I associate with my dad -- specifically my dad as he was when I was a little kid riding around in his van while we went to and from the beach, a place that he sort of ruled over like a king among the surfers/beach locals, where he was widely respected, liked, and perhaps even feared a little. That upright, confident swagger that my dad used to carry himself with as people shouted out to greet him wherever he went is something that I feel like I'm channeling whenever I wear this oil, even if I'm home alone; it's quite nice, even if it can lead to some no-nonsense bulldozing in my interactions with others (woe to whomever has the misfortune of annoying me via text or email when I'm wearing this stuff!).
If I could afford it, I would purchase kolonias for the entire S+S catalogue! They really are a crucial step when working with the materia, especially if that materia is of a more serious nature. Since the Cap III series felt quite serious to me, I didn't skip the kolonia this round, and I'm very glad for it. Aside from the incredible clearing and grounding that it offers, I find that this kolonia really sets the stage for the particular gravitas that the oil and incense brings with it. It's like the herald announcing the sovereign's arrival, quieting the court and creating a sacred atmosphere that commands respect. The rest follows naturally, once the kolonia has done its job. Excellent.
This oil has been subtly working through layers of grief for the past six months and healing my auric, emotional and physical body in ways that I am yet to grasp. It is so Yin that I often need to combine it with other wares to be able to gauge its presence, and direct it more precisely. Otherwise, on its own, it is a soothing companion, unassumingly pushing through heavy karmic stuff.
It also insulates the body, in health terms, in difficult environments, and is my go-to S+S product when I am unwell.
A celestial blessing.
Swollen mosquito bites? Eczema outbreak? Shredded cuticles? Sore muscles? This body butter addresses all of that, and I love how light it feels compared to the salve. It's amazing how much better I feel in my body after using this. 6 ounces is not enough--what can I say to convince you to sell it by the pound?
I do a little bit of paid Tarot reading, and my favorite use case for this is having clients spritz their hands to clean up before they handle my deck. It's perfect for preventing sadness and fear from clinging to the cards, and the influence is gentle and nurturing enough that I don't have any hesitations about applying it to others.
I'm going through a lot of changing responsibilities and raised standards at work, and I swear this body butter is helping me cope. When I'm looking at a mile-long to-do list and holding back tears, I massage it into my hands and then I knuckle down to wade through the spreadsheets and emails. It brings a strong sense of reassurance that I've done difficult things before, I can do them again, and I can get through my challenges unscathed.
This one lives on my altar and burns every Friday. The sense of tremendous wellbeing that it radiates was well worth the price. I love all my S&S candles, but this one has a feeling of coziness and "at-home" hygge that stands out from my more aggressive ones.
I think this is my favorite kolonia I've ever purchased, which is a high bar to clear after Luna in Cancer. I gravitate really strongly to solar magic, and I've come to reach for this kolonia every time I want to clean up my energetic field before casting a spell. Sunlight is the best sanitizer!
This is notably heavier than the other body butters I've purchased from S&S, so a tiny bit goes even farther compared to the others. Love it for unwinding on a Friday after work. The scent immediately relaxes me before I even put any on. Particularly soothing on just-shaved skin. To me, sleep is the ultimate luxury, and this body butter facilitates such deep and restorative sleep that I can't believe I don't need a prescription to get it.
I use this in tandem with the anointing oil, salve, and perfume every Thursday as part of an extended process to remediate a less-than-ideal natal Jupiter placement. Since JiC has come into my life I feel like my financial luck has taken a dramatic upswing, and I've been better able to hold my boundaries and tend to my community. Flagship stuff.
