There's a Cocteau Twins track with Dewdrop in the title. In the spirit of both their music and Fomalhaut's watery-eyed blurring of distinctions, of dimensions, of possible and unpossible, I'm not going to fact-check. That's for us here in the world of matter, and this scent is a gateway between.
The single-minded aspect of Antares came in very handy recently when even my spirals had spirals. And tincture brought me back, which turned my bungee-jump into the abyss more like one of those bouncers parents dangle babies from. Tootsies were toasty, but as I gently upped and downed my one-track mind steered me to safety.
such a sublime materia. i invested in a larger vial of oil after working with my initial 5ml. badger x antares is a materia i was so lucky to find in my beginning s + s journey. i think badger really shines when you anoint it to significant acupuncture points - when applied to kd1 (bottom of the foot) it really helps the whole channel receive energy. i also really love it on lv2 for clearing stagnation. if acupuncture or acupressure is in your practice/lineage, it can be a wonderful aid for tidying up the channel. i can't impress how strongly it is at moving stagnation and bringing a field of coherence when applying to the body. small applications work great at turning around your day when you feel like it's been lost. 🙂
i find thema mundi salve to be a treasure, and one that wants to be worked with specifically and intentionally. not even in a precious/hoarding manner, in a cool and calm conservation of energy. this can help you if you have a dream that preceeds you and is wider than you -- an ancestral prayer, a collective future vision -- and you need help accessing that to bring it into the material realm. as a channeler and someone who works in visionary states, i don't experience it to be particularly psychedelic or ungrounding. rather, it can show you where you need to look up or look down. it can anchor you on the axis mundi and show you where you need to go deeper within or consider a higher perspective (guides, ancestors, helping spirits, allies).
for me, mundi's presence even without application is helping me to allow myself to expand and challenge every single limitation in my life. it is facilitating me expanding my business globally, moving from my current climate (maybe even internationally) and showing me just how narrow my thinking was (even as a psychic-medium, oracle, seer). but it never feels unanchored, ungrounding. there's a certainty, a knowing, and a deeply rooted possibility in it all. it will challenge you, but for me, it has NOT been a direct response. it's all working in the background, quietly attuning me to my path and letting my path grow WIDE in a way that would normally scare me sh1tless lol.
the scent is a dream, very akin to how i feel about moon in taurus salve. so supportive for mending and tending, facilicating relational repair, and deeply choosing yourself (not as an intellectual pursuit, as a living practice). i find this actually lends itself to ephiphanies and discernments of who actually holds me. it offers a clarifying of what is not for me and a DEEPENING of what is. it almost redirects the depth of heartbreak and disappointment into a deep clarity of where i am resourced. so, it may not be what you expect as a grief remediator, but it gave me exactly what i needed in unexpected ways. i think it helps you see what's underneath what you know to be true intellectualy and moves the energy into more of a somatic, living practice rather than a loose assessment.
pure radiance. so so so deeply supportive for remediating the heavier aspects of my life - the cold, wet climate i live in, seasonal woes, pain flares, etc. - it deeply rewilds my relationship to barriers and helps me find my shine. love it so much.
the energy of this materia feels very subtle to me as a lip balm - as someone who is sensitive is energy and can really feel the spirit of each materia, i was surprised that this didn't go hot n' heavy on the amorous energies of taurus (for me). i think context matters and i feel more inspired to work with it as an oil to see the difference. i feel this materia wants to be worked with in more devotional way and tuning more into the erotic, sensual charge of the materia. moon in taurus is a very dynamic (my total MVP) and i'm surprised overall how subtle venus has been.
grounding rhythm is what this mercury materia brings up for me. i find it to help connect me to my soul song, which is particularly supportive as i work on developing content for my business. i find that it helps me ground my channeling and discern between my intuition vs. my thinking mind. i don't find it to be a deeply stimulating materia (as one might find with gemini) but more so it can help tighten outside noice and distractions. it's a gentle honing and a subtle materia, which can be perfect for a sensitive nervous system. where this virgo materia might be more of the daily rhythm, the gemini might be the larger "blue skies" vision.
Incredible at reclaiming your agency and honoring your heart's desires over what society might ask you to do with your gifts + talents. I feel like it cooly subverts cultural norms. Paired with Regulus, it really lets the crown shine. For those who feel that "heavy is the crown" under your own ambitions and operate with a deep sense of internal pressure. This LIFTS the energy greatly and helps you carry your vision forward (with a deep connection to land, kin, ancestors, and spirits).
INCREDIBLE at clearing brain fog and doing the d*mn thing. It's a foundational materia for me, between the kolonia and oil, this is the special sauce. I find the exaltation of Mars to be a DEEP breath of fresh air in which all things can move with ease. It STOPS overthinking and STARTS doing. It releases perfectionism, overstimulation, and functional freeze. I think it's a necessary materia as a small business owner who WFH and needs support with delineating "rest" & "play". I'm currently living in a climate that is super hard on my body (lack of sun in the PNW) and this really helps me get things done.
There's a deep smokiness to this Kolonia that I adore - it gives me mezcal energy. I find this materia to be so so supportive with clearing and boosting my capacity for self-promotion as a business owner. Everytime I do a cleansing, I can settle in and know that all is well. It deeply reminds you of your own competency and can help squirrely nerves. Third Decan Leo really shines at bringing you forward and moving beyond the edge of your discomfort with shining. An amazing aid for those who are moving into greater states of visibility.
This honey makes me feel softer inside. I put it in my tea, in salad dressings, in random recipes, you name it. It's got a bit of an herbal flavor that tastes like gentle rain in springtime to me. And that's kind of what it feels like - as though everything is going to be okay.
Regulus Bath Salts are a bright, beaming energy. I absolutely adoring pairing this with Golden Sol Salts for the courage to move through the world with a big heart. I love the support of Regulus to help combat depletion, when I'm really needing some solar love. The words stalwart and self-possessed come to mind when thinking of how the energy moves through my body.
A wealth of resource for aiding in psychompomp/compassionate depossession work, releasing ancestral stories, and moving into a deeper field of coherence. I can see it supporting folks who'd like support initiating trance while doing doing personal ancestral work - as a professional medium, I mostly use it for releasing energy (closing the channel down vs. opening it). It's also a beloved offering to my helping spirits.
Today has been, at times, a stretch. With Rahu and Ketu in the house, and much ancestral business to dive into, my mind has been a pinball and they were guiding those flippers. Not fun.
Trouble with pinball? I needed a wizard. And recalling Fomalhaut's facility with ancestors, placed an astral-whale-in-a-tube over my heart. Things got betterer. Instantly.
Reader, I can highly recommend this method to buff up your bloodline botherations.
Downstairs, a skilled fitter works expertly. His talent is restoring my home after calamity. And me with it. While he does, soundtracked by Rod Stewart - a singer and performer with Jove's swagger - I hear snippets of an ongoing conversation with his young apprentice. Encouraging, supportive, paternal as well as professional.
Jupiter is in this house as his candle burns. Creating a fresh aesthetic, greater security, a desire to welcome visitors again. In its flame this hour of Venus are six drops of Asclepius kolonia, for women in my life affected by wrong maleness. That's part of my history too, and was core to the loss of my brother thanks to the man of our house. A brighter future beckons.
A kind soul reccomended this to me when I asked on the forums about absorbing people's emotions. I have a Pisces Moon conj (Pisces) Jupiter conj (Pisces) ASC. I never knew I was absorbing people's emotions because I do it unconsciously. Taking up the kind soul's suggestion, I bought this kolonia and holy cow... has my life changed.
Starting a cooperate job, the effects are night and day. I forgot to wear this kolonia one day and got into an argument with my supervisor. It was in his outburst to me did I realize I reacted based on his anger (read: I took his anger and made it my own, unknowingly). By the time I realized, it was already too late because I had already said my piece. The next day, I wore the Kolonia and felt so much calmer, less turbulent, and FAR less anxious because I was not absorbing HIS emotions... nor everybody within the vinicinity.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, if you absorb people's emotions, just get this. I can't believe I went through my whole life without it. I put a few drops on my hands and rub it into my crystal bracelets (Goldsheen Obsidian and Black Tourmaline).
Thank you S+S for creating such a LIFESAVING product.
This kind of relaxation brings to my mind the feeling of being in a bubbling jacuzzi in a cave lit by candles and incense. You feel calm and luxurious, and tend to be treated as such!
Had a profoundly "unsticking" effect on me, and made making different, more positive choices in my day-to-day feel painless and galvanizing, something I had been struggling with for months. Really grateful for this product!
What a blessing. Jupiter rules my 10th, is transiting my 2nd, and is in my 6th natally. Using this oil helped me land not one, but two jobs after losing my job unexpectedly a few months ago.
I have been using Healing the Heart lip balm for a few weeks now to 'speak words and think thoughts that heal the heart' and a few nights ago faced the ultimate test of this - a family gathering at a fractious time with my chart under serious pressure from the malefics, and a recent track record of not being able to hold my tongue and starting drama. I only had Venus to rely that night and man did She come through. Not only was it a peaceful and harmonious evening (the first in quite a while), but several healing conversations were had and relationships were repaired. Absolutely priceless magic. Thank you Venus and S&S!
This adds a glow to my skin that looks vibrant and healthy. I’m also really enjoying this in my hair, which has been dry lately. Although I have many various hair treatment products and oils, I’m currently favoring this one for how it makes my hair feel more smooth and healthy.
I use this one on my whole family on a daily basis. My children are involved in sports and were injured last year, both requiring surgeries as a result. They have been healing well and are starting to play sports again, and I like to apply this to them for long term recovery and wellness. My eldest has also had lifelong stomach issues which we have never been able to figure out, despite trips to many specialists. Since we’ve been using this oil, along with the kolonia, she is starting to identify dietary triggers and is making the needed changes to her diet to help her feel better, something I never thought she’d do. She is also becoming more social and outgoing in ways that I wasn’t expecting from her, but that I think are helping her to feel a stronger sense of self and autonomy. So, while I can’t say for certain what brought these changes on, the timing (within a couple of weeks of beginning to use this) leads me to believe that Asclepius materia has a lot to do with it, and even she agrees.
The first time I wore this I left the house and was doing my usual running around and multi tasking, when I suddenly found myself completely taken in by the beauty of my surroundings - on the highway! On what would have normally been a typical day of distractions and focusing on getting things done, I felt this sense of centeredness and heightened observation of the natural world around me - the sky, clouds, and later the sunset and mountains in the distance. These are sites I see on a regular basis and never took the time to notice before. I couldn’t stop remarking to others about the beauty all around. It was a lovely feeling, and the noticeable effect really surprised me, as I’m new to working with talismanic materia, and hadn’t expected such a vivid experience with a beautifying oil. I find these effects lend themselves especially nicely to road trips and leisure activities.
I love the scent of this one. It’s a light floral, with a coldness to it. I like to wear it to calm my racing mind and especially at bedtime when I’m having trouble settling down and going to sleep. I find it calming and comforting. Considering how much I liked this I’m looking forward to trying another one of these.
I’m loving the scent of this oil. Wore it on a weekend away with my husband, which was the first time we’d ever gone away without our kids, and our oldest is a senior in HS. I definitely felt this contributed to us feeling a reconnection that weekend. My husband said it felt just like when we were dating (a LONG while back). Between being busy parents, my own hormonal fluctuations, and just getting in a rut with daily responsibilities, we haven’t experienced that kind of closeness in a long time. I only wished I purchased the massage oil for the trip too, but maybe next time!
when only the very best will do. I feel supported, results that show up almost immediately and continue on the path I'm on.
This application style is a little more subtle than the beauty oil, I think it helps that the placement is lower on the head in the front of the face-kind of a leading, right under your nose vibe. My first experience was telling-wore it out antiquing and came home with a stack of vinyl. I’m typically overwhelmed and especially have trouble sorting through records, I was led booth to booth directly to the good “finds” I had on my mind throughout the day - a remarkably efficient tool for staying relaxed open and focused - I can imagine this whole subset is great for being open to good things.
The beauty oils are probably my favorite product. This one is balanced, only lightly scented, and doesn’t include a lot of material in the bottle beyond a fine sediment. The Spica quality is centering, focusing, and surprisingly energizing-not buzzy, but I have to wash it off before bed. It’s like I can feel it improving my thinking, outlook, and overall quality of life. Thanks again for an incredible product - S&S is making the world a better place!
One way for something to have a point, is for it to taper. Like this candle. More than like, I love it.
This afternoon, lit to reach for my neighbours, and for my home, Spica's presence was palpable. Lifting. Loving. Drawing out the best in me as I write, and those working in the space below as they create a new kitchen. Thanks to their expertise - and kindness, and an insurance claim - that space is very nearly a kitchen once more.
Kitchens are where much of Spica's efforts come together. And make for time with friends, conversation over a meal, celebration drinks. Soon I will toast Spica, and a journey that started months ago with dispute, and pain, and chaos. Now though, I shall walk. I can hear birdsong.
