Salve of Capricorn II
Organic and wildcrafted witch’s grass, skullcap, comfrey root, woodruff, burdock, mandrake, Solomon’s seal, stone root, black walnut, black cohosh, nettle root and leaf, maca, horny goat weed, clove, red root, goldenseal, and foti, fumigated and ritually imbued with organic extra virgin olive oil and jojoba oil during the height of Capricorn II’s election.
Left to incubate for many moons before being combined with organic beeswax and essential oils of frankincense, vetiver, myrrh, nutmeg, and pine, crowned with genuine 24k gold.
A wonderful pain reliever that provides a stable, long-lasting dose of “marathon” energy.
Apply in the mornings or as-needed for pick-me-ups throughout the day.
As this influence promotes structure, it is excellent for application to the low back and shoulders, to improve posture and quell aches. And of course, the bottoms of the feet.
Equally as wonderful before meetings, brainstorms, and balancing the books, as it is for activities that emphasize slow twitch movements and alignment, such as hiking, long-distance running, yoga, or pilates. For fast twitch support, see Mars-Jupiter or Antares.
Promotes embodiment and conscious awareness of one’s vessel.
By the good grace of Hygeia, one of the gentler, more user-friendly forms of Capricorn II.
Offered in a 2 oz tin or 4 oz bulk pot.

My Moon is in the second face of Capricorn, which makes it difficult to work with via other methods because it is in its detriment. This decanic materia has been a great way to engage with a place in the zodiac that feels like "me" without having to deal with the traditionally negative side effects of the malefics. The smell is quite pungent but I personally like it, and I find the oil to be affirming as I undertake work tasks without shame (my Capricorn moon loves to work!)
I love the salves, but as a naturally-malefic-influenced girlie I haven't ventured much into territory outside of the benefics. This one is worth it, though. Excellent for focus and getting done what needs to be done, it grounds you but doesn't grind you down.
I use this salve frequently for knee, back, and shoulder pain - a miracle. Provides a steady sense of motivation throughout the day. Half way through my second tin already!
During a period of sustained stress while working long hours, this salve helped my stay sane and supported my executive function. Every hour I’d get up to stretch and dab a bit more on, a quick self-care ritual which helped me shift my priorities as needed.
A motivating and connective aid, good for remembering your goals and finding the best paths towards them. Warm, spicy, and earthy scent, wears easy and adds an equally warm lift and hum to the spirit.
I noticed help with bone/joint pain when using this salve. I wear it during the day at work and it definitely draws teamwork to the forefront. I’m still new to working with it so I’m sure other things will become apparent as I do so. The smell is a light pleasant scent that doesn’t linger.
I had to tiptoe my way into using this one, I get headaches and migraines easily, so I tend to be hesitant with Mars especially if it isn't a cleansing form. I think I use this sparingly enough that I haven't experienced any of those side effects (yay!). I have been having another bout of terrible pain in a couple of areas that tend to get angry from stress. As long as it is daytime I can use this and it works wonders on the areas of pain. I may have to reapply if it is really bad, but I find it especially helpful when I need to go to work.. Pairs great with Asclepius salve! Really loving the forms that can be applied to the physical body.
So, one evening I was possessed to use this in “off label” fashion, impulsively grabbing it while getting intimate with myself. What followed was the most divine sense of surrender to the kind of masculine presence that has “just got this”. It left me feeling wild, joyful, and satiated. Yes that is what a well directed Mars can do, especially with such a vibrant better-than-barbershop scent. Utterly intoxicating.
I fell asleep peacefully, and the next morning woke up noticing immediately what I wanted to accomplish. Yes it took that kind of personal application, applied the night before, for the message to really sink in. I actually got shit done for once.
Hopefully not just once as the whole point of engaging with S+S is to level up my normal. But you get what I mean. The experience helped me absorb Capricorn II in a way I hadn’t before. I have not been able to replicate this, as putting it on at night now makes me wakeful. But I’m glad the materia spoke to me so vividly, at least one time.
I have used this salve a lot when I had low back pain for like a month... and it helped feeling better, ease the pain, having more capacity to use my body even when in pain, and to go for walks. It has also helped me a lot when I needed to go biking, walking long walks, or for other aches in the body. It's very much grounding, it feels reinforcing, revigorating, protecting. So yes, everything said in the description feels very accurate to me !
I misplaced this tin, and haven't used it for nearly 6 months. I've since taken to Saturn in Aquarius spell soap several showers per week, and now that I found this again, I apply it after each shower on my legs and feet and it's been an incredible blessing. I'm back to full time work after being on medical leave, so getting up to speed has been challenging, leaning back into 50+ hour weeks while my body continues healing and I'm pretty wiped out still. I can barely believe I have the stamina to be on my feet all day! Best is that I don't have an energy hangover - meaning I don't push myself past the limit and then crash afterwards.
Salves might be my favorite form of S&S materia. This one has an immediate effect on soothing pain in muscles and joints.
The spicy scent of this is addictive. It is the ideal choice for staying centered and focused during the workday, without the pressured edge that I sometimes get from Mercury materia.
I bought this salve for help in my new job, where I’m working VERY long hours - sometimes upwards of 60-70 hour weeks. This salve is *guaranteed* to fix any feelings of “man I really don’t wanna do this today” and immediately makes my body feel awake, strong, and eager to take on the day. Even better, wearing this salve has attracted support from my new coworkers. Many of them have approached me and offered their help and mentorship, which has been SO important as the training period at this job has been more like a sink-or-swim, figure it out yourself kind of vibe. Combined with a drop of tincture in my morning tea, and I feel ready to handle anything!
I really like this series, however, prolonged use isn't ideal for me. Well, using some of the ointment still helps keep you doing things and provides some relief for your joints, especially your knees, soles of your feet, and lower back. Although I usually use it for two days at most, now that Mars has left Cancer (my natal Mars), I'll try it a little longer and see how it goes.
I apply this wonderously healing, strengthening, and sturdying salve along my entire spine before challenging yoga classes and this has seen me through to becoming physically stronger and sturdier in healthy and measured ways. But it’s also helped me become more mentally strong in building my capacity to tolerate (and make the most of!) the discomfort associated with physical activity and exercise. I can also attest to its effectiveness in reducing physical pain or wear and tear from going too hard. It also smells sooooo good, it’s vetiver forward which is sooo swoooooon.
This is very medicinal and has actually helped the pain of my recent shoulder injury. I'm pairing it with Asclepius salve, the duo gives a lot of relief, which is much appreciated.
I had been hesitant about using Saturn materia because I have a very Saturnian night chart but I have been loving Capricorn II. It helps me focus, organize my thoughts, and execute tasks in a way that usually I find incredibly difficult. I love the way it smells and it doesn't take much to feel the impact. Not to be hyperbolic but it is changing my relationship to Saturn!
It’s very soothing
I got this salve for the purpose of pain relief and as an alternate to Asclepius salve and body butter. It delivers that, but compared to Asclepius, it is way more active. Asclepius works faster but then fades away. Cap II salve is longer lasting and really sort of kicks in when moving about - a brisk walk feels better and better the longer it lasts. Mentally grounding. The salve is a great form of this series that otherwise can be headachy - not this salve. A great alternative to Asclepius, especially before exercise.
I LOVE the scent of this series, and find the salve one of the most approachable forms (I natally have Mars in this decan, but it's Rx and in my 12th so I have definitely noticed some of the other forms can be more likely to exacerbate some repressed rage issues than this one). I like to apply it on my tailbone as I have a lot of joint / spinal alignment issues, and so far that's been the golden ticket to "good posture hygiene" and facilitating an overall sense of groundedness throughout the day.
Highly, highly recommend (even for those of us who may already have issues with having an exalted planet in the 12th!)
This Salve epitomizes the classic sea goat talent of settling in for the LONG GAME. Where others fall off due to lack of stamina, this salve brings a state of steady calm strength and endurance to see it through, whatever IT may be. Smells incredible. Fortifying and elevating in the presence of that which requires endurance. I ordered the small size, and nearly immediately, came back to order the larger size. This salve is Consistency over Time in a tin.
I was recently dealing with pain in my ankles, likely an overuse injury. The salve was helpful with pain relief but also in helping me figure out how to heal it, part of which involved backing off running for a few weeks; working on building up calf strength; and using foam rollers to massage out some bad knots. I’m back to running again without pain and grateful for the spiritual support.
My hands and feet suffer from neuropathy and I resist taking pills for pain, so very thankful I have this salve. It both lowers the intensity of the tingling and reduces the pain, enough so I gain back some dexterity. Looking forward to continued use and hopefully full healing over time. Thank you Hygeia and Kaitlin!
Fortification is the word that comes to mind with this, the first salve I’ve purchased from S+. I like to rub it on the soles of my feet and my lower back when I sit down to work at my computer. It gives me the energy to plow through some of the mundane tasks that come with working for yourself. I feel stronger (in mind) and capable when wearing this. It’s as if Cap Ii banishes Imposter Syndrome.
the first salve since immortal heart's to touch my pain, esp when applied to what ought be 'straight.'
plus you can for awhile work it in a triangle!
I've been using this with the kolonia and the effects have been shocking, frankly. So much new business that it's almost hard to keep up. Inner determination to keep going and do everything that needs to be done. On a side note, extra sensitivity to connection with spirits. That's something I'll be working with more intentionally and apart from the business side. Just wow.
I bought this with the intention of working with it for more business minded things, however I instantly noticed an improvement in my posture. I didn't realize that was one of the intended uses or one of the indications for this series. Which I thought was awesome I noticed the effect before knowing it was one of it's side effects. I love it. My posture has always been poor and opening up my chest area has shifted so much in such a short amount of time. I am fulled with so much gratitude. Thank you so much!
Feels good….supported from the higher realms. I feel confident & comfortable
I've been loving putting this on my hands before writing emails to school for prompt replies and good help. Registration was a bit hard this semester but everything got squared away in a matter of days! Feels like I was reaching the right person at the right time in a very supportive way.
I did not expect this salve to be so great at pain relief! To my delight, this has been great for removing any little aches and pains. I haven't applied without Ascelpius so that might cloud the review, but I do believe the relief is largely attributed to the Cap II series and not Asclepius!
