Azure Dragon Subset

Standard recipe, with the addition of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-grade Ge Jie (medicinal Gecko) and Peacock feather. Ritually harvested bamboo (hour of Jupiter), watercress, birthwort, red and white ginseng root, master root, turmeric, dragon’s blood, 24k gold, saffron, and golden copal.

Far and away the most benefic offerings of the Antares series. The most wearable, feel good form of this stellar charge, which encapsulates the Ancient Chinese interpretation of Scorpius as the Azure Dragon, aligned with the Wood element and Springtime energies.

A masterclass on narrative “frame”, interpretations, and ingredients making all the difference…

Uplifting, invigorating, and full of all-potential. Brings growth, good fortune, accomplishment, and a spark of Divine Favor — the Mandate of Heaven.

Excellent for those who struggle with not wanting to be part of the world, or not wanting to get out bed in the morning, who could use positive motivation and a healthy dose of Yang Chi.

The Dragon may not even need to fight, it can win just by showing up

Anointing Oil: standard 1/2 oz glass vial ($80) or 5 ml mini ($33)

We are beginning to roll out soaps and bath bombs for existing series! Sign up for the Waitlist to be notified when they become available.

Soaps offered in a 3″ x 1″ disc for $48

Bath Bombs offered in a 2.5″ sphere for $33

Please note that the loaded herbal components in the spell soaps can make them slightly “scratchy” on the skin, which can serve to exfoliate, or, use your hands to work up a lather and transfer it to whatever areas you wish to wash!

Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.

Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.

Potent for internal energy work

I’ve had a difficult time with this energy as even this subset has me raging fairly quickly. Finally I used it very sparingly - a dab of oil on the heart, and sat down to meditate with it. I could feel/sense that it is working through heavy sludgy blockages within me and that is where the rage is coming from - not the mars energy itself. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time with it.

A must for the gym!

I've been putting the powder in my socks and applying the oil to the bottoms of my feet before I go to the gym and I can definitely feel how my workouts are super supported by Martial energy! I feel very much a "LFG" energy when I apply this materia, but I don't experience burn out after or any kind of exhaustion. Just super excited to be at the gym!!

INK

This is the most physical materia I've ever used so the TCM must be legit, cause I feel it doing something when I apply it to my skin, moreso even than any oil I've ever tried. Sadly I sold mine when I was in a pinch so if you see it in the secondary market, run don't walk, because it dissolves energetic blockages in your system like a road opener

Burnout medicine

Did not expect to love this oil as much as I do. Was tentative, a bit afraid but I'm soooo happy I chose this. It feels so supportive and inspiring and helps expand my capacity to get through stuff and have productive days. An absolute fizzy and inspiring god-send to help with autistic burnout that feels so impenetrable. Gives me wings and fire. Thank you!!!!!

Scaly power

I love the scent of this oil - it feels sinuous and powerful - the way a snake feels, sliding through your hands. There's a wisdom to it that brings a hugely positive, masculine energy hit. Super sexy and enlivening.

Glow-Up Heart Heat Energy

This has been delightful to work. Giggles galore. So in love. My keywords are fluid flow and deeper inner knowing from focus that glows up into clarity. Big heart heat energy. It helps to bring your attention to what can “hurt or help you” in a situation. It speaks with intention and holds. It builds where it’s well met with a generous and generative energy.

It’s the fluid martial arts move you learned ages ago that you remember now to get up more easily off the floor. It’s knowing what you know like a best buddy shoulder bumping you with that look only you share. It’s “I’ll go with you,” especially where others wouldn’t. It’s “we’ve been here before–this is what we know now.” It’s music in everything that conducts the vibe higher. It’s the undying will that wicked grins you into remembering: that story, that song, that feeling, that person, that time–that gives you the inner heat to dig in, hold, go deeper when there is only the dark wrapped burlap close ‘round the otherwise wind warped fire. It’s the story you hold in your chest that reminds others they have theirs too. It’s that part of you that’s okay to stand alone, to say that thing that someone else wouldn’t, because there is a point. Know your worth. Know the things worth defending. Stand with that. Feel stood beside. Lean into each other. Bunker up, band of brothers.

Every ounce of care you give the process (pack snacks, put hand cream on after washing the dishes, etc.), this gives back and works into bringing again next time. Big layer energy. I layered it with Butter Ocean Jupiter a few times to really up the release of bad vibes and pain, and that worked very nicely–shockingly well. Very friendly for me. Very versatile and eager, but patient too. It will hold, and it will wait, and it will show you what the weaknesses to be won over are on both sides. You first. But, like, laughing like you do when you have to sit and watch something change beneath the weight of your gaze over time.

Really Good Day

I keep forgetting that I have this oil in my arsenal, which is a shame since it's such a valuable asset! I'm so glad that I thought to use it today, though, since I had to get up early to bring my car in to a new mechanic to get some issues addressed that the dealership was possibly over-exaggerating (and certainly overcharging me to fix). I hadn't slept well and was not looking forward to any of this, but it had to be done!
***Enter: Azure Dragon***
After prepping with the Antares Kolonia, I applied some of the AD oil before setting out. First I encountered surprisingly smooth traffic conditions. Then when I arrived, I found an easy parking spot right next to the main office (in the otherwise crowded lot). Then when I walked in, I saw others were seated and waiting already in the stifling hot space, making me fear that it might take awhile before my turn. But then the mechanic walked in and was ready to speak to me straight away! -- Fast forward to me having been able to articulate my concerns unusually well (being very much not well-versed in car talk), and learning that two separate issues I thought I'd need addressed were actually the same issue and would require an easy, single fix for a very reasonable cost. The third issue, meanwhile, was identified as a non-issue after all, which was a huge relief since I'd been quoted around $2k in repairs if it came to that! Also the mechanic installed some wire mesh to prevent rodents from accessing part of my car they'd been nesting in at no additional cost! GAME CHANGER.
I actually had to drive out to the place three times in one day, which would ordinarily be a draining hassle, but it all went super efficiently and I managed to run some extra errands along the way! At the end I chanced on a new drive-thru car wash that had just opened and decided to check it out, only to get another fantastic deal. Then I took advantage of their self-service vacuum and window-cleaning stations and went into cleaning overdrive in 90 degree heat, which probably wasn't a great idea but I had so much STAMINA to spare so I really went for it.
Afterwards I was totally exhausted so the warnings about burnout are quite apt, but it was kinda worth it i.m.o. -- definitely something to watch out for, though. All in all, I felt like I was sailing on a benefic breeze of high energy and good fortune today -- but now I'm so tired that this review has spiraled out into something way too long, so I'm gonna go get the good night's rest that I feel is coming to me 😉

Powder

I LOVE this incense. An absolute slay (pun intended) from S+S. I was a bit nervous about getting it, but was Told to do so and repeatedly drawn to it. When I received it, I had just the worst migraine, which had been in effect since I ordered it, so I didn't touch it because I knew migraines were one side effect. But I was just so drawn to it, so finally, I unwrapped it and picked it up. As soon as I touched it, the migraine went from a 100% to a 25%. I set the materia down, and back up the migraine went. Picked it up and down it went. It was one of the wildest things I've experienced. So I burned some and used it one myself, and the migraine left entirely. My migraines do not just leave, especially suddenly. It felt almost like I had had some sort of severe deficiency that this materia satiated. I am a very Martian person, but am often unable to run that charge, and I've realized recently how much that has hurt me. This series feels like a homecoming in many ways.

I've used it to Get Shit Done a lot as well, and while it's absolutely aces at that, there is definitely the risk of burn out or running on fumes. I've never stayed up for 24hrs straight in my life, and after using this, I once stayed up for over 36hrs straight, just working on a creative project. So don't do that! Or if you do, do a ton of self-care afterwards and apply more nurturing series in between.

Highly stimulating

Application of this powder gives me terrific energy and stamina for workouts and other physically-oriented tasks. For ones of a more cerebral nature, however, it makes me quite irritable. I’m still experimenting at combinations with other, more softening materia with the aim of tapping into that energy and drive while avoiding the mental overstimulation part.
