Butter Ocean Salve

I'm hypermobile and get frequent and intense muscle spasms that usually take way more time on a foam roller than I have to give, and this salve is my hack for when I'm too tired to deal with them manually. Melts the tension away quick as lightning, and comes with all the chillest Jupiter vibes that nip any mental anxiety (which tends to increase muscle tension wouldn'tcha know) in the bud at the same time. LOVE

I don't connect with the Jupiter in Pisces energy as readily - perhaps because Jupiter is the one planet in my chart that's doing really well, and is in a watery sign. Maybe that's too harsh - I could say instead that the energies flow in a subtle way that isn't as dramatic as some of the other materia.

I have to dock a star as the olive oil/ghee base does not stay emulsified like the other salves do, even if re-whipped and refrigerated.

I've been using this salve during the day as an annointing kind of influence, and also before bed more medicinally. The effects are consistently gently helpful - I always feel a bit more at ease, less bothered, and more chill when I have applied this. The only downside is I really struggle with the smell when it's in the pot and when using it - very stinky dairy vibes. Once I've rubbed it in, it can smell more like frankincense but there's still a strange undertone.

I am... kind of high-strung, in a fiery, Marsy kind of way. I am always thinking about the next proverbial mountain I want to climb, and the obstacles in the way. This salve, applied to the temples before bed, just... dissolves the underlying tension I carry unconsciously all day long. It sort of gives me permission to just relax. My partner loves it too-- he always asks me for the Bedtime Butter! The texture is weirdly lovely, too-- a little wetter than most salves, but in a very pleasing way.

I'm currently recovering from surgery and it's important to physically relax so to not impede my own healing. This salve is supportive to releasing tension I would otherwise thoughtlessly double-down on carrying, and thus helping my healing process with beautiful gentleness. Also a spiritual warm uplift for gratitude practice, and a calming reading buddy for my zippy brain!

I've been applying to my feet before bed - definitely softens the energy and helps restore some peace. I feel like it's also helped with some chronic foot issues I've had the last few years, but hard to say if it really is the salve or the fact that I'm massaging them in the process. Probably both!

It's hard to come up with words to describe Butter Ocean because its effect is so subtle but very noticeably so. It's noticeable because it's Jupiter, but yin Jupiter does not get the same fanfare as yang Jupiter, even though it deserves it. The Piscean aspect of Butter Ocean is unlike the yang Jupiter we all know and love but instead comes to you in the form of the knowledge that you're going to be okay and whatever hardships will pass. It feels like coming home after work and knowing the weekend is ahead: I can leave my worries at the door, take a breath, and just relax.

If I want to melt tension in my body or have a nice, uninterrupted sleep, I slather on Butter Ocean, and I do mean slather. This materia does not want you to be stingy. On days where I have a long list of to-dos that I can't possibly accomplish in one day, I put on Butter Ocean at the end of the day and all the worries about all that still needs to get done go away for awhile and I can rest my mind. Butter Ocean salve provides rest, and it's likely rest you didn't know you needed.

Butter Ocean reminds me of when I was a kid, and on cold, rainy, miserable days, my great-grandma, or my grandma, or my mom would make me pastina with generous helpings of butter and some salt. When I would eat the pastina, the cold and wet misery of the outdoors would fade away. I could just revel in that moment of enjoying my buttery pastina, feeling warm and safe. That's the feeling Butter Ocean evokes: a place where you feel warm amongst the cold and desolate world, where your worries go away for the moment and you can partake in the comforts around you, knowing you're safe to do so.

I am in a L1 Jupiter period in ZR, and my natal Jupiter is afflicted. Immediately upon using both the Butter Ocean Salve and the Jupiter Butter Ocean Bath salt things began to move. I only wished I'd purchased more of both

I love to rub this onto my calves and knees when I feel achy. It brings immediate relief, and the scent is so nice!

I love this - I had an instant positive and calm reaction to it. I also used it to anoint a beeswax pillar candle on the altar, and it is a beautiful calming presence.
