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.

I use badger when I really need the grit to get a large project done! My husband and I use this for accomplishing large projects, and he has actually started using it more regularly for his ADHD. It works so well! Every time he puts it on, I find him wandering through the house looking for projects to take on, and he not only starts, but finishes them! (Review posted with his permission.) Highly recommend for activities where endurance and motivation are needed!

I have such a tough time with anger and Badger oil is perfect support for exorcising it before my shadow-boxing workouts. I love the earthy smell of this subset too.

Badger seems to be one of the best most protective offerings from S+S to date. It also feels very grounding and confident. Let someone try you and run into a brick wall. You might even feel a little pity for them that there's nothing they can do to muster an offensive on your fortress. I ADORE the martial elegance of Antares as a star now that I am getting to know it. It's mastery of the martial without the need to kill yourself (compared to Mars) as far as I can tell. But it plays lovely with your Mars products as well. This is one I would gladly stock up on. Works great in corporate capitalism. TRY ME hahaha.

I love this subset. I find it the easiest to work with out of the whole series, perhaps because my natal chart is heavily earthy. It helps me to feel grounded in a dynamic way, as if I were drawing power up and out of the earth to fortify myself with. Great for finding strength you didn’t know you had.

Well now! This stuff works great for defensive magic. I used this to lay down a barrier in my home and not only is it highly effective, I'm finding that it's helping to extend the life of my wards. That's a huge boost to my energetic hygiene.

I'm also a helluva lot more productive since this series landed. Mars materia inspires obstinate refusal in me, which is probably necessary, but decidedly impractical. Antares materia wants to get things done. Badger really cuts through your ineffective, irrlevant plans and helps you put your nose to the grind stone doing what actually matters.

For the record, my Mars is very happy. I ordered the subsets and they feel welcoming and cheerfull. I'm not noticing discomfort from whatever extra anger it crops up, just that it's anger of a different quality. Be warned: It might take a minute to adjust to how it impacts your appetite and sleep patterns.

Delicious nerve-mustering oil. Just a drop on a necklace and I am like the honey badger—not giving a single shit about what doesn’t actually matter in the long run. I find this oil helpful to ward off distractions and stay focused on my immediate goals. Love it so much I made a second order for a larger vial.
