Cloud Kingdom Subset

Almost all high quality Jupiter materia shares certain features, such as drawing abundance, increasing resources, luck, wisdom, and promoting a good natured, jovial manner, in addition to elevating the mind and spirit.

That being said, there are two sub-sets for Sphere + Sundry’s first Jupiter in Pisces series: Cloud Kingdom and Empyreal Vantage, each having their own additional specialties…

Both are elevating and potent, though Cloud Kingdom is the more yin, insulating, lightly hypnotic, and gentle of the two, akin to floating on a cloud-chariot hiiigh above it all, sheltered and shielded from the travails of terrestrial living.

Application unwinds the heart-mind in order to facilitate letting go and letting live — detaching from nagging concerns and over-caring, and invites one to participate in the divine process of unburdened being.

Relieves stressful and anxious sensations (as almost all high quality Benefic talismanic materia does, or even mundanely prescribed remedies of the modern world do), but with a distinctive easygoing, wise, and contemplative flow (and few to no debilitating side effects). It smooths the edges, adding a Jupiterian buffer to the auric body — ideal for those who are feeling raw, sensitive, or could simply use a break from whatever struggles they find themselves facing.

It is very wearable, doing little to nothing to interfere with the performance of day-side tasks — yet provides a comforting and soothing distance that registers as relief and respite to overburdened nervous and adrenal systems.

Promotes lightness of being, acceptance, letting go, wisdom, and patience. Ideal for meditation, before sleep, or in stressful circumstances where Jupiter’s added luck and good nature are a more than welcome influence.

Breathe deeply…

Deeper still amongst the clouds,

For they shall sweep us from our burdens…

Cloud Kingdom Oil is an immersion of equal parts organic jojoba and extra virgin olive oil, and the matter for Incense and Powder was left to gestate, later ground in the day and hour of Jupiter.

Anoint oneself anytime as needed, or in the days/ nights/ and hours or Jupiter for remedial purposes.

Apply to the temples, third eye, heart center, base of the skull or spine, wrists, thighs and buttocks (the Jupiter ruled areas of the body), feet, or ears. Likewise, meridians or acupuncture/ pressure points related to the liver, gallbladder, blood, adrenals, &c. The Salve (and even Body Butter) of this series can be applied similarly to even greater physical effect, in terms of muscle relaxation and embodied experience.

Use this Oil to dress candles, apply to compatible magical works, or in any way magical oils can be utilized.

Smoke bathe the body entire using the Incense to clear one’s field and promote energetic insulation, especially in times of strife, stress, and attack. Note that all items from this series work gracefully and effectively with Sphere + Sundry’s Ritual Bathing and Energy Clearing Protocol.

Use the Powder to dress candles, add to mojos, sprinkle in drawers and shoes, in any way magical powders are often applied.

Cloud Kingdom Incense and/ or Powder is available in a choice of standard 1/2 oz vial or 2 oz bulk pot.

Soaps: 3″ x 1″ disc (please view important tips here)

Please note that the loaded herbal components in the spell soaps can make them slightly “scratchy” on the skin, which can serve to exfoliate, or, use your hands to work up a lather and transfer it to whatever areas you wish to wash!

Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.

Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.
