For being a part-Fomalhaut offering, this materia is surprisingly grounding and centering. Upon application, I feel rooted and secure in my body, in touch with sensation without overwhelm. It is perfect for those of us with sexual trauma who need a boost to get out of that hypervigilant space and back in to the present moment of the body. I hesitated picking this up for a while, and I wish I had bought it sooner! In a few words: so dreamy, but rooted!

One of the first things I noticed about Fomalhaut wasn't necessarily the synchronicities but just how much Fomalhaut showed up in media I watched, how much I turned toward watching shows and listening to music that evoked that oceanic feeling. Other times the synchronicities just show up regardless: when the movie of the night has a plot focused on hidden treasure, when a whale jumps out on the TV screen, when I hear a new song about taking a boat out.

Fomalhaut is a friend of the diviner. Before I ordered Fomalhaut, I made it a practice to begin closing my eyes when I did tarot and letting the imagery and sensations take over, then seeing what card I pulled that evoked those feelings. Fomalhaut puts me in touch with the inner vision, a sense that has historically not been my strong suit. Sometimes I see the exact shapes or an outline of the imagery that will be on the card I drew for the day. Even practicing my visualization skills, I've never gotten the results that I get with Fomalhaut.

Fomalhaut also helps facilitate spiritual relationships and relationships with your surroundings. Fomalhaut can both help set the stage so you can clear a space and communicate with spirits, and can also help you to see spiritual activity that you may not have noticed otherwise.

An interesting note about the Fomalhaut oil is that it's one of the first non-BPAL oils I've used where my partner commented on it. He said “it smells familiar”, to which I responded “maybe it reminds you of the beach.” ️

All S+S materia is a journey in a bottle if you're willing to take it. Some of those journeys we may prefer over others. If you want to walk the spiritual and divinatory path, you may find Fomalhaut calls you...

12H Mars in Taurus here. Figured Azure Dragon would be a good place to start because of how borked that placement it. It may be the most benefic of Antares, but it is SUPER EFFECTIVE. Holy crap. I've only used it once, so I don't have as in-depth a view as the other testimonials, but it helped immensely with getting stuff done that I was dreading. I need to see what happens with Quicksilver Tongue and Azure Dragon when I write!

All of these perfumes have a gentleness coupled with strength and depth. I've tried all of them in different ritual settings and they all, without fail, shift the energy of any space or ceremony into a deep, dark calmness. They are truly scents of the deep unconscious ocean. I find they compliment and counterbalance some of the scents of the other Fomalhaut materia extremely well.

These EVII bath salts are my favorite bath salts ever! Saturn just entered Pisces and is now conjunct my ascendant’s ruler Venus. I’m working a lot and have very little downtime. There are little moments to relax and replenish my Venusian energy (I work in a very Saturnian place). I had a consultation with S. Reynolds recently, who advised me to schedule ‘spa days’ during this time of Saturn conjunct my Venus. I’m rather choosing to spend my money on Sphere and Sundry (Saturn conjunct my Venus also comes with the need to spend less money, I need to budget, so I need to choose between Sphere and Sundry and other luxuries in life). These bath salts always do the magic trick: relaxation, self love, softening. These EVII baths moments were lovely before Saturn’s ingress, now they have become sacred. I definitely prefer an EVII bath in my own home over an expensive spa; might be because I’m a Taurus rising 😉 but also definitely says something about the quality of Kaitlin’s offering. I’m now going to order more bath salts, so I can keep scheduling my spa at home days. 🙂

Lover's Guardian: perhaps an unconventional use? I have given this as an offering to the ancestors and it has quickly cooled heads in this household. The scent is reminiscent of a teething toy I had as a baby as well, so although it's meant for fighting couples...this has been an all-round soother and go-to, up and down the timeline.

Azure Dragon has facilitated deep clearing and healing operations for me at a wild rate, and I’ve felt a freedom and strength in my body since starting with it that I haven’t felt for years. It feels like I had a field full of stones to clear before I could plant my purest crops, and I’ve been out there one by one digging them out and hauling them off. Azure Dragon feels like, oh, did you need this field clear? WHAM. Captain Marvel feelings.

I feel a real love for this series. What an ally. ❤️‍

This was the first body butter that drew my attention--now one of my go-tos before bed. For anyone curious or cautious about a sea smell, it is there but almost like sea spray. Your own mileage may vary, of course, but the smell of it is such a curious thing to me. It smells familiar in a way that I still have yet to place.

If you are a person who likes to take notes and compare your experiences, I recommend trying this solo (without combining with anything else) and giving it a generous slather on your chest. I'm still trying to make sense of the dreams I had the first night I put this on as they were memorable.

One of my fav body butters for sure!

I treasure the candles from S+ series. They're less rare than a talisman, but they carry a charge that feels more special occasion and ritualistic than some other forms. This candle has helped me move from the Aldebaran side of the polarity (that is acquisitive and growth oriented) to cutting back strategically (ie. decluttering, purging, streamlining, letting go of things that no longer serve me.) This candle helps me run lean and stay focussed on my primary goals without getting distracted or seduced by ***stuff***.

I can't believe I forgot to review this. I was using this JEV salve pretty exclusively until I got my Butter Ocean salve - the end result is very similar in that you end up in a relaxed state, but how you get there is very different. JEV takes you up, and BO dissolves stress. Which one is better? I can't pick - I stopped using this salve only because I do have more BO salve than JEV salve but will be sad when BOTH are gone.

The powder for this is very very fine. And I currently have it dusting a Jupiter candle. A little goes a long way, smells great, and given that I'm still burning the candle - happy to state that so far so good. I've also used this to dust a Jupiter mojo-bag. Would definitely rebuy again.

Would buy again if I wasn't such a hard core salve fan these days.

Coffee? Who needs coffee when you have Exalted Mercury S&S. Not quite the same buzz as the other Exalted Mercury materia, but it does seem to fortify you internally for layering, and its just a good wake up pep in your step. Also if you're trying to lay off the caffeine.

On its own, this is quite relaxing. I find the day after using Exalted Venus II materia, I feel more at ease in myself, no matter what form I use. The *feeling* part is prominent. To amp it up, I apply the salve to my feet or lower back before getting into the bath. Significantly more relaxing, but still functional. This should last me quite a while, a little goes a long way.

I was gifted Mantle of Concealing Night for Christmas last year and have been wearing it regularly since! I’m a perfume fanatic and jump between scents often, but I keep finding myself returning to this bottle. The scent is extremely soothing and dreamy, like a balmy, beautiful night (I’ve been complimented on it multiple times). I usually wear it when I’m reading natal charts or when I feel anxious (or both)! I’ve found that it seems to calm down my nerves considerably and also helps me to have the focus to give thorough natal readings. I’ll be trying it while water scrying soon, but so far it’s worked wonders and smells amazing!

Her Eyes That Were Full of Shining is an absolutely hypnotic scent that upon reading the scent profile I wasn't sure would resonate with me initially. I'm not usually a fan of rose scents but for some reason this perfume is one of my all time favorite BPAL blends and smells much more like incense than rose to me. I bought it while pregnant and it has been incredibly helpful for helping me embrace (adore, even!) my baby bump and added curves and has certainly given me a much needed boost of confidence at a time that I really needed it. I was lucky enough to score some Aphrodite's Harvest on the secondary market also and it is amazing layered over that as well.

This series has been excellent for accessing Mars-type energy without directly using Mars materia. It has been powerfully motivating (particularly with daily habits: waking early, exercising, not tolerating excuses from myself that would otherwise hinder progress) and encouraging - in the sense of feeling fortifying and centred within the self. Side bonus: tolerance and desire for spicy food went way up! As a lifelong sweet tooth this was a cool 180 palate experience and a micro way of showing the broader themes of Antares: strengthening, diminishing pain or not being so bothered by it, ‘just do it’ energy. Strongly recommend.

I have both the honey and the sugar scrub of EVII and decided to mix the two together to make the PERFECT exfoliant. I also use the honey on its own as a face mask, and the results of both are extraordinary. Aside from making my skin feel softer and smoother than silk (in addition to smelling DIVINE), on a deeper level, it makes me feel relaxed and deeply connected with my body. The double whammy of mixing the honey with the scrub definitely ups the ante of the magic, but even using the honey on its own as a mask makes me appreciate my own beauty & power. It's more than feeling beautiful on the outside. It's about feeling beautiful on the inside, too.
