When I first got this incense, I wasn't really into it. In fact, as much as I *wanted* to want things from Aldebaran when it was initially released, it didn't feel right for me at that time. And I don't ever regret following my instincts with things like that, because they're right lol. But I now adore this incense, and mine's almost gone. It has me sometimes wishing I purchased other materia from this series, but I'm sure there will be a leveled-up Aldebaran II in the future! In any case, it's phenomenal for a sense of will-strengthening & power-increase. I also feel protected from it, and I use it in Ares/ Mars devotions or workings. He seems to absolutely love it! It resonates with me much more for such things than actual Mars (or Antares) series' do. Of course, that's not going to be so for everyone, or perhaps most people. But the channel through which I connect to Martial energies, or the aspect of Martial energies that I'm looking for, seems to be of a very Aldebaran-ic? character. It's all about Desire & its Fulfillment, Invincible Will, Absolute Power . . .

The Knowing that one will achieve/ manifest/ be/ become whatever one Desires is inherent & implicit within these fumes.

Aldeberan has been invaluable in assisting me with all manner of desire work as related to wealth and making personal dreams come true - and has an honored place on my wealth altar. This star holds great personal meaning to me, so burning this incense feels like hanging out with an old friend whom you admire so much (maybe even slightly intimidating!). Meditations and Journeys are further aided with Aldebaran's discernment - when to hang back and see where things land, and where to really go for it. I'm so happy to have this beautiful incense in my collection.

This was a strange one. Placidus has Aldebaran in my 11th, but 12 in whole sign. I used it early this year with a mars conjunction in hopes that Id find some inspiration or 'drive' to get things done. Needless to say, what followed was a brutal few months with mars floating around my natal mars... I feel like a entirely different person after that. Mars in Gemini on my 12th sounds more appropriate then being partially in my 11th. I felt like I was going insane. Closest Ive ever been to being depressed, but I think id do it again if I had the choice.

I like to burn this incense when I need to confront things I have been avoiding for a long time. Brings focus and determination to address lingering issues. Great during the tax season.

Incredibly empowering and helps me to clear creative blocks as I smoke bathe my body

Aldeberan incense has been a very powerful tool for me. I have used it several times to support work/promotion endeavors as well as financial pursuits - and the response has been quick and beyond what I could have asked for. Just a small amount of incense burned behind me or smoked over my computer has been all that was needed, without me having to do much at all except release any expectations and be open to receiving. Very excited to keep working with Aldebaran! For natal astro context, I have my ascendent at 7 degrees Gemini, and had some lovely Jupiter/Venus natal transits during these times as well.

Since I could only get the incense from this series, I used it like I would a powder, and when sprinkled in shoes or carried on my person (I have a little gold. silver, and copper locket I like to put it in!) it packs a serious punch of get up and go. I've had an insane month at work and I honestly have been completely transformed by working with Aldebaran. I've had renewed energy and gusto to step into my leadership role and steer the organization I helm through our roughest waters yet.

As an incense, I've been using this to activate sigils and all I can say is HOLY COW. RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS. Results have been nearly instant and unmissable.

I've had the incredible good luck of having Aldebaran conjunct Jupiter in my natal chart, and Aldebaran has worked wonders for me. I highly suggest you guys look up where Aldebaran's placed in your charts. No doubt this materia will work regardless as all S+S wares do, but it’s a nice extra kick if you've got it since this series leans heavily on Jupiter.

That said, Aldebaran has definitely helped me stand up for myself more and ask for what I want with a definite feeling of courage and resolution. I invested in the set of this series and use the incense and candle regularly (with the oil, etc on special occasions). I also have the talisman. I wholeheartedly recommend getting this star on your side, especially if you're trying to build a better world for yourself.

I have been using this powder recently in conjunction with Asclepius II incense and another non S+S fixed star grounding oil and i am thrilled to say my horrible Vertigo has DRAMATICALLY calmed down and is barely even there now! I'm about to order more, as well as the oil, as I have also found it gives me a bit more focus and strength to confront things and do things I don't want to do!
