I honestly haven't spent a ton of time with this because I only intend to use it for specific magical purposes - and because of this, I'll probably get acquainted with it slowly. I have the LiC salve as well, which I use regularly for personal application, and I don't really have any desire to "wear" the oil form. The couple of times I've used the oil (a tiny bit on myself, and a bit to anoint a candle) I definitely feel like I dropped into a kind of looser, more meditative state... a little trippy, but subtly so. I'm a 12H Cap Moon and tend to be VERY even-keeled and perhaps a wee bit emotionally repressed, and don't find this uncomfortable used sparingly.

Bought this when I saw it was on sale and I have been applying a little bit of this almost every night before bed for the last 2-3 weeks. I honestly don't notice much when I use it alone, but it's an obvious enhancer of my EVII Materia and I'm curious to try it in combination with a couple of other things... it feels like a really nice base. I'm also very curious to see if any other effects start to manifest over time with regular application, since I'm guessing that 4oz tub will last a good long while. I have a mini of the oil, but don't plan to use it outside of magical workings and for tarot/divination.

I've used this to spritz my face/body to relax before sleep or meditation, and also to spritz my pillows at bed time. It always gives me a nice quiet hum, but sometimes it's more of a gentle relaxation and sometimes I get this amazing, almost narcotic drop into my body that makes me feel like I'm on drugs. I think I get the best results when I pair it with my LiC salve at night, and doubly when I use it on Friday evenings after a Venus devotion. It definitely doesn't feel social for me, but it's decidedly sensual, and I hope I get the opportunity to try it for ~intimacy~ soon. (Also making me itch to snap up some Venus + Fomalhaut oil. My wallet! Help!)

Probably due to interactions with my natal chart, I got much more profound results from wearing GSII. I think this one has mostly given me a nice little glamour boost over the last week... among other things, I've been I'm more drawn to makeup (which I rarely wear), and within a day or two of my first application I FINALLY stumbled on a miracle shampoo that actually gets the awful hard water buildup out of my hair. The destruction of my hair has been an ongoing struggle since moving to a new city a few years ago and honestly that sync alone is worth its weight in gold, so to speak 😉 I'm thinking I'll use this oil sparingly to anoint my jewelry and mix a wee bit into beauty products, instead of wearing it directly like I do with GSII.

It took a few days of regular wear to start to feel the effects of this, but within a week... wow. I had a very major epiphany about myself and my past that was both very clarifying and very freeing, and lead to a sense of peace around something that had been taking up space inside me (and impacting the relational areas of my life) for a long time. It made me feel softer within myself and also softer towards others.

I think I had such a profound reaction to this Materia because it interacts with my natal chart like *crazy* - major activations of both my Gemini 5H and my Leo 7H, as well as favorable aspects to my natal Venus, Ascendant/Mars conjunct, and Mercury/MC conjunct. It's actually kind of bonkers how many areas of my chart this impacts simultaneously.

This Materia makes me feel so good, in such a quiet but profound way, that I feel like I want to wear it every day of my life forever! It feels like a really good base on which to build. I'm looking forward to trying it in combination with other things, especially to boost some of the creative career building I'm planning to undertake with the Cap II + III Materia. Also curious to pair it with Venus Materia given how much it activates my natal relational realms.

I love how useful and versatile these salts are. I sprinkled a tiny bit in a small saucer next to my bed when I was sick. I’ve also used it in ritual for Asclepius. I imagine it soaking up all the gunk from my illness. I love this series.

I love the Blank Canvas series! For the conditioner, I went a little ham with the cozy lion vibes (Golden Sol II and Son of Apollo powder, plus Regulus oil and Lion’s Purr perfume). It smells divine and hydrates like a dream. Even without the materia and scent, it would be great for use during pregnancy (or for anyone looking for great, clean unscented hair care).

I did have a question about how to open the bottle at first. (I tried unscrewing the white part of the cap, when you only need to unscrew the clear one.) Rookie mistake, and it did leak a bit at the base of the white cap at first, but once I screwed that bottom cap in a bit more, it stopped leaking. Also, the bottles are delightfully squishy to help mix the materia up…

This is what I was looking for during my first pregnancy (and I plan on using it during my second, fingers crossed!). On its own, it’s wonderfully clean and fresh, although I added Golden Sol II and Son of Apollo to mine and love the glowy effects (still gentle enough to use before bed!). I plan on coming back to make an Exalted Luna shampoo as well. The sky’s the limit…

Such a lovely, warm, enticing scent. "Rising and shining" is listed among its many uses and applying it in the morning has significantly helped in keeping my energy levels up throughout the day, regardless of how I slept the night before. There's no burnout or crash at the end of the day either! The Golden Titan anointing oil has also been so useful in reminding and motivating me to stick with my health and fitness goals. Thank you S+S!

The spell soap works differently for me than the oil/incense. The latter shine when there's a specific problem that needs to be solved while the soap works as road opener in general even when i don't give it a specific mission. I adore the minty smell of both.

It's funny when I where this at work I feel I get many jounior team members asking me for guidance. Other solar work tends to the relationship with bosses to the forefront. I was not expecting the effects in dynamics with thoughs that I sometimes play a mentorship roll.

When updating or communicating with the bosses I often feel some anxiety. When preparing deliverables for the higher ups this helps remove the anxiety and second guessing. I am much more equipped to handle question and more prepared to manage up!

It's the first S+S soap I've used, and I'm really glad I tried it, even though it's not the first Asclepius item in my practice. All of them have been really good to my health, both physical and spiritual. They're all very purifiying, but the soap takes it to a next level of cleansing. I've used it a lot after an accident that left me with wounds, and it's helped with the cicatrization and feeling better. It's also really good after having to deal with dense energies or feeling a little sick or in pain. Love the scent too !

The smell have been very surprising to me, very different from the other perfumes from the series I got to try : much more like a "classical perfume" (hard to describe), with a strong scent. But ! It has also arrived right on the moment I needed it a lot (I had a bike accident), and it truly helps when not in good shape, not in good health. Combined with Asclepius water & oil, Exalted Luna salve, and Capricorn II salve and kolonia, it's a perfect combo to sustain health, ease pain, protect and strengthen the body, feel better.

first time using the base series (tried eirene before and suited my sister better). Kolonia, oil and bb. LOVE! the elven vibes were so serious, I took a selfie and laughed out loud like 'who is this!!'. very light and fun to wear, nice way to harness the traditional venus vibes 🙂

I have used this salve a lot when I had low back pain for like a month... and it helped feeling better, ease the pain, having more capacity to use my body even when in pain, and to go for walks. It has also helped me a lot when I needed to go biking, walking long walks, or for other aches in the body. It's very much grounding, it feels reinforcing, revigorating, protecting. So yes, everything said in the description feels very accurate to me !

It's the first time I'm using kolonía, and I'm really glad I did try it. I love the soft blue color, it's absolutely refreshing, immediately leaving with a feeling of purification, feeling of being lighter, but also more grounded. The scent is really nice and fresh too. When I've been feeling like under great pressure, as if gravity was too much, this have helped me a lot (I wouldn't think wearing more Saturn would apease Saturnian feelings, but here we are !). It helps being more functional when we feel like nope nope going back to bed, zero energy.

I have 4 of the Exalted Sol perfumes, and Splendent Joy is definitely my favorite scent : warm, comforting, yummy. A sort of a sweet loving caring facet of the Sun, that have the power to uplift you even when six feet under. It has been such a treasure and a life-saving item in times of anxiety and depression and despair. Trully brings splendent joy ! It might be one of my favorite items from the whole shop, and I'm so glad it exists, thank you.

There is a great comfort in this serie, something grounding to the body, to the home, to reality, to the needs, to the feels, to matter, to water. It's like a warm cuddle, a gentle push towards what is really needed, to the things my Virgo Moon tends to put in boxes and forget to tend to. From Exalted Luna, I have used the tincture, one of the perfume, the steep+smoke herbal mix, the oil and the salve, and each of these items have been so helpful and pleasant. The salve helps to ease the tensions and pain and discomfort in the body, and it's also a good support when in emotional distress or need for sleep. It also smells nice !

Most of the items from Venus' series are not very recommended for me, but this one have been, and I'm very glad because it's a good match. First of all, I love the scent, mostly lavander. I tend to apply it when I'm travelling to see friends and family, because travel can be overwhelming and also having a richer social life than usual. It facilitates conversations, contact, enjoying each other, and we can talk about things with open hearts. It also helps being near other people (in the crowds, streets, transportations) when you are an introvert and struggle with that.

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.
