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.

So far I’ve used this as a protector in more aggressive doses. To ward off the ill effects of toxic people, it feels like it creates a barbed wire effect to produce a nice sting toward anyone who would transgress. Like I don’t need to stress or defend cuz it’s all taken care of.
I’ve also used it in tiny little doses very sparingly if I’m having a hard time getting up and going in the morning. Just a touch beneath the navel to inspire a go-getter motivation. I was nervous as I’ll sometimes get over-volatility using materia in this fashion. But I’ve experienced no backfiring or hostility at all when applying it very conservatively.
I was called to use this when a horrible circumstance from my past threatened to arise. I took it outside and burned the incense in prayer. It felt very strong and powerful and helped me channel my fear into anger as a protective force to push away targeting I don't deserve. I think it was effective too as the situation died down and I no longer felt threatened.
After I anointed myself with this materia for the first time, I set out to begin my day. I really put the whole thing out of my mind rather quickly, but within one minute I had to physically brace myself against the wall for the energetic kick I received. Not only did the rush take me by surprise, most of my day I felt like I was someone else. I told my friend I felt like I had "put on someone else's hat." Imagine me: a Subaru-driving, natural-fiber-wearing cat lady, putting on a 10 gallon hat and tailgating every vehicle as if I were driving a male genital-donned F150. I've only used this since a handful of times, but I think long term it's helped me gain the confidence and drive I needed to return to school. No more excuses, I just *did* it. I enrolled. I'm doing it. This wasn't even my intention for this materia, but I'm grateful for what it's shown me because this was ultimately had been my goal all along.
The description for this subset is very accurate. And a look at the video of "honey badger don't care!" says it all. It felt like this subset means to push you forward, putting incentive directly into action. It moves right at the forefront of your will and converts it into action before you get the chance or the time to think about what to do. It doesn't bypass intellectual evaluation or deliberation. It felt very much in the front of my body, always a millimeter ahead of me, pulling me into the next move. Grit is the word.
I don't know how this feels for others, but nataly I have a strong and physical Mars so there be something to that combination that makes this subset very physical to me. Although powerful, I will say that it wasn't angry. It wants to go ahead and get going. But with a sort of nonchalant, fun loving, "whatever" kinda spirit. It just really moves in on the goal. LOVE IT!
I have found that wearing this subset makes people with intentions toward me (of any kind, supportive or otherwise) either confess to me directly or expose themselves to someone who will tell me what was said. I've learned more about people in 20 minutes while wearing this than in 2-3 years of prior acquaintance. It seems to quickly get to the heart of a matter in a way that empowers action.
Just what you need when you need to stand your ground. Makes you feel like you got claws and teeth. Scent of the oil reminds me of Pino Silvestre, which isn’t inappropriate for the image that it evokes. Love you, Badger.
As if it prevents the person from being harmed, it starts working when an attack is just about to start and shockingly it was really easy to use in daily life.
I. Love. Antares.
My energy flow is very wonky and mars and I have a… tough relationship. Badger is miraculous. I haven’t found that I get overheated but it gets me MOVING. I love sprinkling some powder in my shoes on busy days. A little goes a very long way!
For me this is a bit more relaxed than the regular Antares but still have all the determination and chutzpah. I use it before strength training and don't notice any side effects, perhaps because I'm exerting any excess energy it catalyses.
Boss ass bitch juice. For when you want your victory guaranteed. As someone who loves Exalted Sol, this oil is AMAZING and accomplishes as lot of the same goals, except it’s more…..pointy. Highly recommend for when you want to prove some people wrong, put the BS aside and become the absolute BEST at what you do. Start slow: the tiniest dab really is all you need!
For two years I wasn’t able to get myself hired back in tech, bought the winning BADGER SUBSET OIL and shortly after that I got not one but TWO high priced job offers, so I went from unemployed to 6 figures salary after starting using the oil for the first month.
I’ll use the oil as a perfume on my body before interviews and important meetings. That gave me the winning spirit and clarity in my communication which eventually landed me the job I have now. It’s been unbelievable journey using Kaitlin's magic and I can’t be more grateful and happy that I found you guys. You changed my life !!!
Not that my astrological placements doesn’t have anything to do with it, but I’ve come to the realisation that your magic has a lot to do with the intensity of things, for example if someone wants to make money, one can be astrologically aligned to make them, but how much one can make is where you step in guys, and not just for the money but for everything in life. You are that uplifting turbo force everyone needs, but doesn’t know it yet!!!

I feel such an affinity for Badger as a power ally for the work I do as a shamanic practitioner— this subset has also been helpful for helping me mobilize to meet the energy of my day. I’ve found it helpful for interrupting the “couch-lock” I can move through as a person navigating chronic illness and the overwhelm that can accompany it - executive functioning seems a lot easier.
The other side of the coin is sometimes this materia can magnify internal or external conflict and make me very Mars heavy - mostly it can amplify any sense of agita, restlessness and frustration. I think it could be sublime when paired with a healing yin materia.
Powerful warding - and the term “honey badger dont’ care” keeps coming up in my surroundings - it’s become hilarious to me to hear it at random times, even in the media. But when you need to bring out the Big Guns this is the materia to reach for. have you ever seen a badger in RL? They’re freaking vicious and scary - enemies be warned!
This is not necessarily a standard use of the materia, but since the Badger card came up in a recent reading as one of my guides, I've felt more comfortable using it as I'm led in the moment and gotten massively helpful results when I apply in tandem with IH materia for hard therapy visits or emotional processing I am avoiding otherwise. Honey badger (also) don't give a f*** about Feeling All The Feelings and helps me take my own reactions / traumas less personally when they come up.
The obvious caveat is of course that intentionality makes all the difference between Feeling the Feelings and letting yourself get swept away by some of the angrier ones, but I've only noticed undesirable rage / combativeness effects when I've been less-than-intentional about how I was applying. A little does go a long way!
I had a really good reaction to the main Antares series, as well as Swamp Gator, and if you're a fan of either of them, I'd definitely recommend this. It's sort of a nice compromise of both, to me- "hotter" than swamp gator, but "cooler" than Antares, and with less chance of angry side effects.
You know how when you’re holding something and it’s heavy and your arms are about to give out? Smelling this oil gives me that feeling. It’s almost too much. Almost.
So warm and fortifying, the spiked fence that guard what is pure.
Smells like a man whose name I can’t remember.
Attractive, hot sexy man.
I wouldn’t apply just to see what happens. I treat is as a weapon and use it as such.
I literally only use this for warding and I avoid even opening the bottle much as the smell scares me (in a good way). It reminds me of when I was into mycology and smelt a poisonous mushroom on purpose for learning purposes lmao. Innately repelling, like if I sniff this any longer will it kill me? Back away, leave it, avoid. Like my body just knows what to do. I feel comfortable engaging with it though because when I was smelling it I was watching the new avatar airbender and who comes on the screen? *spoiler* a badger who inadvertently teaches that love is a protective force too
This stuff is wild woodland in a bottle. You can feel it pulsing with earthy energy - purposeful and single-minded. Great for not giving a sh*t... and also for getting your hands dirty in soil and leaf litter. Take it to the woods and roll around in the mud...
I felt it right away -- it's like breathing in energy, force, and grit. Helps me overcome hard things both physically and emotionally and feel more embodied (all air and water over here..). Almost uncomfortable so use with care.Thank you Sphere and Sundry! SO WILD.
When I apply this oil, I notice myself encountering people displaying a sort of masculinity I've come to associate with feeling both attracted to and unsafe around. The "wrong kind of man." At no point was I actually unsafe, to be clear! Just noticed myself noticing more of the wrong kind of man when out in public.
When I say the prayer to Antares or meditate on its presence, visions of sex and battle appear very...somatically. I don't get too attached to 'visions' during meditation as they are just one of many phenomena that may arise, but Antares has been far more direct than any other spirit I've contacted. I am a queer guy who some might consider hypersexual, so don't worry - that's probably a 'me' thing, not something everyone will experience working with Antares.
This oil also happens to smell like a masc and musky vetiver, which is a lovely bonus. I don't typically go for butch scents; this is one of the best masculines in my collection now.
Great achievement fuel, especially for physical activity. Antares can help you let your body do the work for you. He also promises to connect you to the champion's heart already beating in your chest. But don't let him seduce you as quickly as I did...
of all the Martial and Mars-adjacent offerings S+ has put out, this might just be my favorite. there's not the same level of spiciness that I get from the base series and it's not quite as lighthearted as the new Mars-Jupiter in Aries materia. for me, this feels like Mars in Scorpio minus the moodiness. if you want the claws to get down and dirty, Badger has what you need to face the internal adversary and go under over around or right through whatever obstacles may be in your way.
I've used Mars in Scorpio for my exercise routines, I see that this materia gives a lot of the same 'oomph' thats been commented on. The one difference I have noticed though is that my routine WAS very cardio heavy but has slowly shifted to incorporate more weight lifting. I have no desire to get huge but it seems this materia encourages some healthy bulking or 'gains'. The point being power is more the focus then cardio endurance.
It helps me to be focused deeply and stubborn. When I feel something is too much to handle, this badger makes me don’t care how difficult! Just do! It is really helpful if I want to finish difficult tasks or big project. Also, awesome thing about this Antres badger, I don’t even need a coffee!
I use it when I need a bit of extra fighting power against any injustice done against me. Gives me great confidence, strength, and determination! Love it
I felt called to use this for the first time this past Saturday when I was gearing up for hard rolls at my gym but also holding a lot of grief. There is a real courage in this one that I don't feel as strongly with the base series. The base series is like "LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOO" and this one is much more "the only way out is through." I am really here for both energies but this past Saturday I needed the second option and it really came through for me. Highly recommend.
I haven't used it a lot. it is potent even in small doses and provides a relentless energy. It's single minded and when paired with mercury offerings I need to be forced to take a break.
I've been leery with the Antares series because when I apply it on myself or to jewelry I'd wind up with migraines. That said, I've put a drop of Badger onto a garnet I had, and then carried it around as a pocket crystal. It may not be 100% pleasant, but it will give you what you need to get things done (and then some!). Glad I have some on me.
I’ve been wearing a talisman daily for months that I made with Badger powder. Antares both calls forth and supports a heart at home with courageous action. It has encouraged me to advocate for myself in a long-standing unbalanced power dynamic. Empowering.
I've dressed candles with Badger Honey x Swamp Gator powders several times over the last six months in order to deal with an absolute beast of an exploitative landlord. Don't want to imagine what we'd be dealing with w/o the extra oomph of protective & defensive magic S+S provides.
