Balm of Hermanubis
A olfactory homage to Hermanubis, ritually blended in the election window by thee one and only Mrs. Elizabeth Barrial of Twilight Alchemy and Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. Of which, she shares —
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness — for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
The bridge between life and death, between the conscious and unconscious, between the soul and the body. This is an oil to be used during the process of understanding life, death, and the spaces in-between. It eases the pain of grieving, opens doorways to the liminal space between states of being, and enables you to better understand life by confronting and embracing death. It is a scent of stillness and quiet, of standing in cool shadows. It is the solemn and joyous embrace of the beloved dead; you are not alone.
Cypress essential oil and cypress from the TAL garden (Cupressus sempervirens), myrrh essential oil and tears (Commiphora myrrha), organic hops flowers and hops essential oil (Humulus lupulus), cedar leaf (Thuja plicata), cedar berries (Juniperus monosperma), western red cedar essential oil (Thuja plicata) and Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica), peru balsam (Myroxylon pereirae), and black vegetal musk.

Bath Salt of Asclepius
Sold Out, Asclepius IAs detailed in the series description, ritual baths were one of the first steps taken to cleanse those who made pilgrimage to temples of Asclepius in pursuit of healing, and salt is a natural agent of purification in ways both physical and metaphysical.
Dead Sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, and epsom salt were combined with essential oils of frankincense, cypress, and tea tree, alongside herbs from the incense mixture, with Asclepius’ blessing.
Draw a bath and add the mixture to the water. Includes a prayer to Asclepius and suggested times for ritual potency. Fully immerse yourself, occasionally wetting the full head and hair for best results. Soak for 13 minutes or more.
The formula of this salt is highly concentrated with essential oil to make less go a longer way. Available in an eight ounce jar, enough for 2 deeply purifying baths, or add smaller amounts to many, utilizing the principle of contagion.

Incense of Asclepius
Sold Out, Asclepius IThis loose incense is comprised of cypress and incense cedar, both harvested on the Summer Solstice and prayed over in the words of Thessalos, given to him in dream by Asclepius (as detailed in the series description). These were combined with wildcrafted white sage, sourced from a Native American owned local business, rose of jericho, frankincense resin, and 24k gold leaf, before invoking the Divine Physician’s blessing as the fixed star Ras Alhague began rising.
This incense is an exquisite smudging mix for the clearing of space and body — in general, after traumatic events, or before ritual. It can also be used to bathe objects you wish to cleanse and restore, such as crystals or ritual implements prior to consecration.
I felt called to this perfume oil as soon as I saw its name and read the write-up for it. I’ve worn it during ritual which has the effect of drawing me deeper into what I’m doing, kind of like pressing your ear into the wall to hear the words murmured on the other side of it. It easily facilitates a ‘tuning in’ and I have a much easier time clearing my mental debris to actually listen to my intuition, which can so often be drowned out by my overthinking. I’ve also applied it before bed and have the most vivid dreams, where I’m either journeying or doing dutiful shadow work. Highly, highly recommended.
I ordered this right before Kaitlin put out the social notice that the Hermanubis II series was up.
My learning process has always been initiatic, and I was called toward spiritual channeling recently. I figured I may as well see if S+S had something to support the journey… always.
Anyway, the scent is ETHEREAL and physically gorgeous. In the two days I have ritually worn it, I have come into contact with two acquaintances who have revealed they have a strong spiritual channeling practice. Perfect timing? Yes. Hermanubis works with swiftness!
I can’t wait for future revelations. Beautiful offering and great blessing to my collection!
