Bath Salts of Fomalhaut

This is not the most aesthetically-pleasing materia in the lineup to bathe in, and I would not recommend it for a relaxing spa-day experience.

Interestingly, every time I've bathed in this, something has conspired to ensure the water is lukewarm-to-cool by the time I get into the bath.

It really does feel like taking a dip in some brackish sea water, and smells of it.
A helpful precursor to lucid dreaming or meditation. Definitely causes the the 'sea legs' effect noted elsewhere in the Fomalhaut listings, so maybe don't operate any heavy machinery after use.

Since I had a rare night in the house alone, I had a bath with these salts. I really loved sinking into the sea-scented water. I usually use the little muslin bag to contain all the extra bits of materia, but, on this occasion, I let them float freely in the bath. There are ingredients in the mixture that look like sand and it was so relaxing to watch them swirling in the warm currents of the bath, accompanied my tiny ribbons of seaweed. Profound dreams came later that night, with messages from ancestors... Marine magic...

This was the first S+S offering I tried and it is still my absolute favourite. It is so clarifying, while at the same time nourishing. It feels like a cool clear lake at night with a sky shining with stars, especially when that beauty and connection is what you need to feel both connected and alive again. Fomalhaut is conjunct the degree of the zenith for me, and feels like the missing link, a long lost friend, exactly what is needed.

Taking a bath with these feels like entering a sacred pool. Mystical and soothing.

My favourite way to use this salt is making a small dish with water and let it sit next to me. It helps to process and assimilate new information or news. Helps to take it in a wiser, more understanding way, with gratitude. Also can dip my fingers in salty water and clean/help with processing for body parts that the most affected by news or rejecting the new reality of life.

A previous commenter mentioned feeling like a mermaid in their tub - and yup, me too! I find water one of the easiest ways for me to meditate and with Fomy the results have been wildly successful. When paired with luna in cancer, or exalted Luna it's profound for journeying, and sinking much deeper into the esoteric waters.

I've used Fomalhaut bath salts a few times now, always in ritual. The energy of these salts have a quality of probing curiosity without feeling too serious or heavy. The salts have a sweet seaweed smell to them - they smell *real.* It is easy to feel transported in these baths, but also really supported and held (I imagine this is Jupiter!) - you're not plunging down to depths at warp speed, you're gently and safely exploring. I have used the salts to initiate a deeper Earth-based magical practice and to expand my dream work - I have had incredible results with both of these goals. I really love this series.

This brought me back to the childhood experience of feeling playful, free, and one with the ocean. I felt like a mermaid in my bathtub.

Using these bath salts is like being held in a cosmic ocean womb in the heavens. The way it feels like the sky and sea have lovingly merged and enveloped me is truly divine. It strengthens my connection to the ethereal, and makes otherworldly messages clearer.

Yes, this does smell OF THE SEA! For real. And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. How magnificent to bring the sea into my lovely bath tub (for which I am so grateful) combined with Star Power. I have been diving into my own 12th House (Sun conjunct Jupiter in Cancer) depths and have found the bpals and Annointing Oil extremely helpful (and informative- almost like if you could have a conversation *with* Pisces) and am quite enjoying the bath salts just for the evocative atmosphere they certainly provide. I really enjoy working with several elections' materia but Fomalhaut is possibly my favorite. Extremely grateful for the insights and reassurance this series is providing.
