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…
Jupiterian and Piscean herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, seaweeds, and gemstones, including dandelion, blessed thistle, hops, hyssop, blue cohosh, marshmallow root, blue lotus, dulse, and dried plum, ritually combined at the height of Sphere + Sundry’s series election following fumigation of frankincense and saffron, prayers and offerings. Fish bone, lapis lazuli, fresh water pearl, and genuine 12k white gold.
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 ($30) or 2 oz bulk pot ($90).
We are beginning to roll out soaps and bath bombs for existing series! Sign up for the Waitlist to be notified when they become available.
Soaps: 3″ x 1″ disc for $48 (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!
[To learn more about the more yang, clarifying, and Zeus-like impacts of the Empyreal Vantage sub-set, click here.]
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.

The Cloud Kingdom oil is one of my most used items. It has done wonders to quell anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I have used it during the beginning stage of a panic attack and found the soothing feeling of cloud envelopement almost instantly. Have also found it to be helpful around combating a racing mind before bed.
I love this oil, it is extremely calming and great for anxiety. I feel an immediate relaxation and it feels like a floating on clouds and warm hug. It wonderful!
This oil has helped me flow through so much difficulty this year, rest when I need to, change my perspective, let things go. A chill pill in a bottle, truly.
I enjoy this oil, I find it very relaxing for my needs. A friend gave me a sample and I blew right through it fairly quickly. It’s very supportive and a “light” pleasing level of energetic.
Cloud kingdom incense is supremely smooth and supportive. It shifts my anxiety in a clearheaded way, helps me show up to hard things with maturity and presence
My natal chart is a dessert all air and fire. Cloud Kingdom has brought a wellspring of bountiful water to my parched little soul. Whenever I wear my CK oil I feel hydrated nourished and at peace with the world. It’s like one of those rainstorms after a major drought where you can smell the petrichor and instantly know relief has finally arrived.
Hail Jove and Katlin
The Cloud Kingdom salve is exactly as described. I applied it to my heels and legs after particularly long and stressful days and I could feel the tension release immediately. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple while restoring vitality to my sore muscles. I rub it on my shoulders and neck when sitting for long stretches in front of the computer and can feel everything release. And just as stated in the write up, you feel capable of handling whatever stressors are around without feeling consumed by them. I highly recommend it for those busy and demanding moments when you need to be present yet relaxed.
I really vibe with this series (particularly the Cloud Kingdom sub-set). I was never able to connect with Jupiter’s Lightning Rod, Jupiter in Sagittarius or Jupiter’s Bounty, at least in any meaningful way. As soon as I became aware of Jupiter’s Empyreal Vantage, though, I knew this was going to be the one!
Cloud Kingdom oil is incredible for allaying anxiety & stress, truly. I feel so at peace & comforted when I use it. It’s also fantastic for Zeus devotions, and I personally find that Hera is more accessible when I utilize the series as well- so I’d be inclined to say that the energy is not *solely* focused on the Divine Masculine here. The most important aspect of the series’ essence is, I feel, its ethereal majesty. There’s a sense of cooling, rejuvenating, euphoric release, like floating on a gorgeous, heavenly cloud. Hera & Zeus are inseparable as Rulers of the Heavens, and that is something I can really connect to with this series. It’s just beautiful. I adore it!
Blew through the salve and a small butter from this series pretty quickly considering how little you need. The Cloud Kingdom oil is great, especially now going into summer I’m reaching for it again. Calming but not sedating or difficult to use during the day, but can be directed to be beneficial at night for relaxation. Great earthy, herbal, fresh scent. Smells exactly how it feels.
great product! I use this every day for the last couple of months. During that time I have experienced great career growth, much more comfortable in my role. I have also noticed a decrease in my blood pressure. My relationship with this one is special and will keep using it.
One of my favorite products to date! I apply this before bed and it helps me have magical dreams and a peaceful nights sleep. It also promotes a feeling of hope and relaxation. I highly recommend!
I love how calming this oil is, I use it when I have had a rough emotional day and immediately feel calm and centered. It layers well with Venus oils and the Cloud Kingdom is now one of my favorite Jupiter Oils.
In addition to being so calming and uplifting, my husband and I have discovered that the Cloud Kingdom oil is a surprisingly effective painkiller! We both suffer from chronic pain, which all but vanishes after applying the oil. I’ve personally stopped bothering to take my mundane painkillers at all because this stuff works BETTER! (Obviously, I am not a doctor, your mileage may vary, please don’t stop taking any regular medication without talking to your doctor first, etc.)
Of all my S+S collection, this is probably the oil I reach for the most. In addition to being uplifting and generally just feeling like a weight has been taken off; it plays well with other series’s offerings and feels like a gentle way to experiment with layering while also still being effective.
The Cloud Kingdom oil is so, so relaxing. The scent is also deeply soothing. It’s become an essential staple of my before-bed ritual; the ultimate assistant in mental wind-down.
This oil is one of my favorite items from S&S so far. The smells reminds me of rain on concrete, and it gives a very insulating, protected feeling, as if I’m wrapped in a fluffy cloud. A gentle, perfect energy. Definitely the best Jupiter series for me by far!
Cloud Kingdom oil has been such a stabilizing balm, particularly during some highly tumultuous family challenges. It has brought a smoothing of jagged energies with the ease of a gentle breeze, and interactions which usually leave me feeling depleted have been strikingly pleasant. Incredibly grateful for these offerings!
I used a full bottle of this oil over the holidays and between family drama, urgent house hunting, and moving, I swear it saved my sanity. I have since bought a second bottle so I can access the peaceful Cloud Kingdom whenever I need to!
I got a decant of this oil and have already almost finished it. It’s great for providing an auric buffer as promised – I feel much lighter and less anxious, but also in a way which means I can then just engage with whatever I’m doing and do it well, rather than with Venus material where sometimes I just end up not wanting to do the thing at all. Highly, highly recommended. The most all-purpose S+S materia I’ve used (and I’ve used a lot!)
Cloud Kingdom oil and Cloud King salve are my most-shared items. When applied to the body, the tension slowly melts away. For me, both have been terrific for stress relief. I’ve offered samples to friends with stress issues and chronic pain, and they have also found soothing relief. The scent of the products reminds me of the seashore, I open, sniff and deeply inhale. Ahhhh. I would like a never-ending supply of these, please.
I have found Cloud Kingdom to be excellent for managing and reducing stress and anxiety. It has a sort of quieting and centering effect and generally helps me to remain more present. I use both the oil and powder regularly and liberally. This is one I don’t think one needs to worry about overdoing it on.
I was admittedly slow to partake of this series at first, but divination led me to the aerie heart of the Cloud Kingdom’s realm of truth, and I’m so incredibly grateful. This oil is soothing, insulating, calming, and bestows a deep knowing that all is working out in one’s favor. So grateful for Jupiter, this offering, and the incredible S+S & co. for deepening my relationships among the stars.
I purchased this oil in anticipation of having to go back to tighter pandemic restrictions for fall 2021 and I’m so glad I did! This Jupiter connection is such a balmy one. The mint in the oil is soothing and aromatic, and I’ve really enjoyed working with it to give a cushion during some of the colder and more reserved feelings I’ve had during jupiter in aquarius. It holds the connective glow of early summer 2021 and is so pleasant and calming while still helping with presence.
Jupiter rules my chart so I felt compelled to purchase this oil and powder. I have used it in workings involving matters involving my 11th and 7. I have found the materia quite potent and effective.
The materia is created in a very positive harm no one atmosphere. That positivity emanates in the magic it is used to create.
I highly recommend this materia.
I ordered several different S+S products recently. All of them are doing their thing, but I want to write a testimonial for this oil because I think people have been sleeping on it. Which I would also like to do, and I’ll probably get the water in my next order for all of my sheets and bedding.
I’ve been applying Cloud Kingdom during the day and night hours of Jupiter and none of the other materials I have, have had such a soothing effect. Recently I’ve been through a series of rough transits, and this oil has been a much needed shoulder to lean on (and it seems to encourage the presence of said shoulders) during this difficult time. The effect is honestly similar to the Asclepius oils, but on a more spiritual level, helping me cope with inner malaise. Using it was a big reminder that most of the Hygromanteian hours of healing are Jupiterian hours.
Full disclosure, my natal Jupiter is in Cancer in the 11th so ymmv.
Ive been using cloud kingdom oil on my chest & forehead at the opening of my weekly jupiter practice during Jupiters hour Thursday as I say good morning to the spirit, after I put on the ritual clothes & before I light the incense & candles & place the offering & read from the picatrix. it is often a moment of hurried feeling as I am getting all the things in place while the sun is still below the horizon & to be honest I have typically woken up only a few minutes prior, and this material really helps to set me into a calm centered place as I settle into thinking about the attributes & quality of the jupiterian spirit & energy & commune with it, it really helps that time to feel like a cozy quiet moment that sets my Thursdays up for gentle optimism & openness as I do my jupiterian tasks. I recommend it especially used around a consistent practice like following the days & times.
Cloud Kingdom Powder: Wanna walk on clouds? This is what keeping calm, and being a big fluffy cloud. Expand. Let your feet take you. Its like a comfy sweater. 10/10
This is wonderful. Has a more bracing (ocean-style) scent than the other Jupiter oil, and makes a wonderful complement to it. Expand your ideas of what’s possible, then let the salty air in! Big gas-giant hugs for you who created it and you who are experiencing it.
The incense is supremely comforting. My heart feels lighter and unburdened. It’s healing without excavation of things better left buried—for now or forever. I had a feeling that IH would be brutal in the face of things lost forever (for me, at least). This is for the love we lose to time and a way to go on living. xx
One of the best anti-anxiety magics I’ve found. A+
The Cloud Kingdom oil gives me the feeling of wearing a favorite cozy sweater – comfortable, warm enough without being too warm, and just putting it on helps my shoulders relax and has me breathe easier.
I’ve found that it helps to give safety for emotions to flow when applied with that intention, not only for me, but also for others in my presence. I’ve worn it with the intention of helping my emotions flow freely and have experienced close companions unexpectedly opening up to me about grief and fear and cry in the safety of my presence.
It seems like the enveloping characteristic of Cloud Kingdom expands to surround and aid others where needed. The buffering effect helped me be sympathetic yet not get wrapped up in their emotions or overwhelmed. It’s a potent offering.
This oil is very very watery, “gushy”, uplifting, calming and insulating, in the best of ways. Quite calming and soothing as well. Highly recommended for relaxation, relief from chaos and intensity, and any Yin or Water based practices.
Cloud Kingdom has become my fave oil. It is chill in a bottle! It’s an incredible sleep aid (I’ve experienced profound & magical dreams) and is amazing for reducing stress even under the most dire of circumstances. It generates feelings of optimism, serenity and opens one up to viewing life from an elevated point of view. I tend to be fairly conservative with my use of S+ materia but I am about 1/4 of the way through a 1/2 oz bottle & I will absolutely purchase more in the future.
Cloud Kingdom is in some ways a Jupiter take on Immortal Heart. It’s soothing but without engaging in the processing piece of IH. Jupiter is not known as a compassionate entity, and its more about accessing generosity of spirit and thought. Definitely increased calmness, and CK acts like a buffer. If you’re feeling too raw, CK acts as insulation whereas IH would have you process (even if you don’t want to!). Has a component of increased patience, which is great if you are in stressful situations. 10/10, will purchase more.
I received my first order a few weeks ago and love the effects of Cloud Kingdom so far. When I received the package in the mail, I could feel energy/heat emanating from the package.
I have been anointing myself with the oil on Jupiter days/hours and have noticed increasing calmness and balance especially in these challenging times. I am so grateful to have an ally to lean on.
I also purchased the powder which I enjoy the scent and have also been spreading throughout my home, shoes etc.
Kaitlyn promptly shipped my package to Canada and I was not charged any duties which is awesome. I am looking forward to future series. Thank you so much!
This oil uplifts mood and consciousness. It brings forth potent synchronicities and the capacity to more deeply understand complex connections, often with very healing benefits! Also a superb booster for Astrology, Tarot, and all manner of divination. Top-shelf materia!
I have been layering this at night with Immortal Heart and it helps me sleep when my nerves are jangly and my brain won’t turn off. It works better for me, a Sagg rising, than Moon in Neptune, which I used to combine in the same way and am now out of.
I just received my Cloud Kingdom oil today. I put a few drops on my wrists, and soon I could feel myself relaxing and feeling more peaceful. I’m looking forward to learning more about myself. I feel I’ve picked a real treasure for my very first purchase! Thank you!
I’ve felt compelled to put a small amount of this in the palm of my hand and then go to the bathroom and add in some argon oil as a carrier oil so to speak and either add in some rose water x 2 drops or so then begin to spread over my face. Wow it is divine. I feel powered up and confident. This series (omg they all are so good) is brilliant for confidence and creative visionary work. Once again you have gifted this planet with your amazing materia xx
Cloud Kingdom is by far the most versatile materia in my S&S arsenal. It layers well with just about any other S&S materia. The effect is relaxed, (but not sleepy), optimistic, uplifted and spiritual. Excellent for meditation. Flows from the inner seeing to the outer realizing. Helps me to see and think optimistically, kindly and broadly. Combined with Empyreal Vantage, the focus sharpens. Together they draw both material and spiritual wealth. All will, indeed, be well.
I’m still learning how this oil works with me, but so far I’ve had some very potent results!
The first time I used it, I think I went a bit overboard, applying it to various pressure points, back of neck + base of skull, etc, then doused myself liberally in “The Eye” BPAL, as well. Oops… I ended up feeling decidedly ‘stoned,’ as if I’d taken a huge bong rip of some serious indica (not something I’ve done in many years, but *I remember*…). It wasn’t so much the feeling of intoxication/an altered state, as much as heavy, mindless relaxation. I was content to simply lay down on my floor and spread out, as all my plans for the rest of the day seemed not urgent enough to bother with (note: I am *highly* sensitive to stimulants and depressants, so this kind of reaction is not likely to be universal).
After that, I used it much more cautiously. Last week, a small group for a class I’m taking met over Zoom for the first time: these sorts of things tend to make me very nervous and inarticulate, so I used a bit of CK oil to ground myself beforehand. GREAT idea: when it was my turn to introduce myself, I was surprised by how chill and articulate I came across, rather than the high-strung, jumpy mess I usually am during Zoom intros. Thank you, Cloud Kingdom!!
I’ve been loving the relaxed feel of the Cloud Kingdom oil. In a time when there have been a lot of changes (transitioning back to working in the office at least some of the time), I’ve found it particualrly excellent for helping me to remain open to the good parts of that process, and for being more relaxed about the stressy parts.
Fundamentally, I feel like it’s helping me get out of my own way, and keep open for possibilities and joy and all the good things.
Cloud Kingdom has this Pisces rising feeling like a super chill splish-splash little fishy. First day I wore it I got caught in a torrential downpour on a hike and ran back utterly soaked, laughing in euphoria. Running through downpours is actually awesome?! Applied the oil after a long travel/work week and to my surprise ended up riding a rollercoaster on a 10,000 ft. mountain, hiked down through dreamy aspens, then floated around blissfully on a pool noodle. I casually over-tipped for my ride to the airport, where the gate attendant called me over and said, “You were seated by the toilet and I can’t stand it- I’m moving you up to an empty row all to yourself”. Just good watery vibes of generosity and lightness- very excited to have this in my life.
So, my testimonial feels a little embarrassing to admit.
The fact I’m a cis woman Virgo Rising with Jupiter in the 7th probably explains it.
Divorced, so the one thing I liked about marriage- companionship isn’t common.
I received my order August 2nd. And since then I’ve been adding it to a candle and rubbing a bit on my feet ritualistically. Thinking more about wanting to enjoy my Jupiter return and the pleasures in that, rather than what my natal Jupiter longs for.
And today talking to a friend and I quote:
“OMG! I have not pursued any low quality dude interaction Since I started using the Jupiter in Pisces!”
So, I’m buying the bulk jar now. Rest assured quality has been enjoyed.
This oil is lovely. I thought I would prefer Empyreal Vantage, since I’m a get up and go kind of person, but the Cloud Kingdom is the one that I’ve been wearing almost daily. Somehow it triggers a much more patient, kind side of myself – I am less reactionary to irritations that would normally lead to conflict. Cloud Kingdom is helping me master the art of letting go. Great for remediating a struggling Jupiter in my natal chart.
Purchased some of the Cloud Kingdom materia on launch and, once arrived, put it to use immediately.
On His day and in His hour, I used the oil to annoit myself and ritual candles that I made by hand, upon which some short rituals were performed.
I’ve not worked with S+S material before, and I wouldn’t say that my psychic receptors are as keen as others, but you can feel the buzz in the oil. The results are nourishing and relaxing but keeps the jovial buzz going. Upon completion of the first Jupiter ritual, I waited to see if any synchronicities would stack up with my health and wealth. It didn’t take longer than a day or two.
The results, broadly speaking, were a work schedule with projects I really enjoy working on in places of the Province that are astonishing – rather than the usual day-to-day. This provided some much needed ‘career reset’. I received random sums of money in the mail that I was, apparently owed, by insurance companies and outstanding debts. My investment portfolio, which was concentrated on only a few stocks, finally saw the cascading flood of good news and grew exponentially in a weeks time (~250%)! Even my magically skeptic partner couldn’t rationalize the Jovian synchronicities in our life while using the material.
These Jupiterian materia feels like the key that unlocks the cloud. Once triggered, it helps cascade (or perhaps triggers the downpour?) of good fortune.
Since my Cloud Kingdom incense arrived I’ve felt drawn to smoke-bathing with it before leaving the house on a Thursday morning. It’s been a slow-grower for me (my natal Jupiter is in lightning-quick Sagittarius) but I’ve had time now to experience its steadily affirming, elevating effects. The days I use it are more than just good days, they’re full of Jovial synchronicities – meetings of minds on spiritual and intellectual topics close to my heart. I keep almost catching the scent of something deliciously cool and rich at the edge of my perception, reinforcing the uplifting effects I get from this incense every time I smell it. I love it!
I love my Cloud Kingdom Incense it is so wonderfully relaxing and soothing. I use it for meditation and to reduce stressful situations before they happen. Im a high energy person so I love things that mellow me out. Lighter than Pisces in Neptune which I also love and kind of hoard. So glad something else came along in this vein.
