DA is supportive in so many ways! Makes me feel safe and protective. DA has been helpful in putting boundaries in place, by making me aware of dangers (stalkers) and keeping them at a distance. I always wear DA to work, since I work in prisons, and I feel like it helps me to receive some respect from the prison system (which is not the most female friendly and chaplain friendly environment).

I have a neighbour that is really into home improvements and sporadically creates a lot of noise. I use incense to ask DA for quiet when the noise is too invasive or just coming in a bad time - wishing 5 minutes I would get it quiet again.

Full disclosure: I'm not what you would call a 'good' driver. At times I can be an impatient jerk. This is something that I've struggled with for awhile (I'm also a 'late in life' driver, reluctantly getting my license when life without a car became untenable), even trying hypnotherapy to try to cool down, with mixed results. Then I tried using DA in my car to address a rodent infestation, and though it wasn't the greatest mouse repellent, I started noticing something else after burning the incense and sprinkling the DA ritual salt and powder all over my car: I was actually starting to relax behind the wheel!
Once I caught on to this unexpected result, I started experimenting more with wearing DA on me before driving places, and WOW -- what a difference! Not only am *I* more calm and courteous, but even others around me seem to be driving better! No more teeth-grinding, sweaty road rage, for me! Just chilling while listening to the music and rolling with it! *Finally*. SUCH a blessing!!!

After tip-toeing into DAII waters I stepped up my courage and sprung for the oil. I’m an incredibly energy porous person and wanted to experience having support w boundaries. I read the write up a million times and took seriously that this will “show you what needs attention / reinforcement” but still was blown away by my experience. Immediately after physical application I was sent on a weeks long and multi-factored health investigation which revealed multiple, complicated, intertwined, previously “silent” issues which I am now working through. This was alarming and frustrating but so grateful for the LOUD and early enough warning. … The outcomes will be beneficial, the process may feel scary.

Ya'll, this oil is INTENSE. Immediately upon applying this oil for the first time, I got the distinct feeling of being in an impenetrable fortress, while being extremely grounded. I have a LOT of earth in my chart, but applying this oil made me realize how out of touch I've been with the physical world lately. Like the write up mentions, this materia forces you to be at your best, but that also means that the people around you have to do the same. This is so good for environments where you feel like other people are frequently testing your boundaries. I also use this oil for warding my home and maintaining protective talismans.

The DAII oil is absolutely my favorite for Saturn-lite work (ie, not wanting to directly work with Saturn, while embracing the need for Saturnian care). This is a really lovely meditation partner for me. When sitting, it somehow provides a similar feeling to the Golden Gator series to me, though a bit more penetrable. This series is so excellent for a "shut up, sit down, let's take a breather" vibe. I find myself using it less for warding, and recommend the bluing for that 100%

I've thought for a while now on how best to review DAII and it's profound impacts on my life both magically and mundane because I yearn to do it justice and honour these most beloved energies. DAII is a gift; it's protective, and makes me feel safe wherever I am. Over the past several years (read since 2008) I have been through rough transit after rough transit and since engaging with DAII EVERYTHING has changed. From difficulties, to smoothness. To the evil eye being cast upon me (literally) to my adversaries disappearing from my life never to be heard from again. I no longer feel afraid. I now feel strong, the borders and walls are up and the castle is protected. I struggle to express just how profound this is in my life - but can say that I am beyond grateful to have it in my sphere. What I would give to have had it 15 years ago. I use DAII with everything. From mo jo bags mixing with arrow root powder, ritual salt and bluing as a protective line outside my front door. I use the oil to draw sigils on my doors and anoint objects to be ritually used for protection. DA has also aided in assuring that my financial needs are met, and has played an integral role along with Aldeberan, Sol and Jupiter in placing me and my family in the right situations for us. All praise DA for your gifts in my life - I am so honored and grateful.

I have been a customer of S and S since 2018! I think I have purchased at least one of every series since then. This is the only oil I have used in its entirety and ordered more! It’s by far my favorite and had brought many blessings including help in a legal matter.

The powder has been invaluable in my home. I like to sprinkle it in corners after cleaning (especially after adding DA II Steep and Smoke to the floor wash) and the energy is incredibly protective and boundary-holding. Great for apartment living.

I made a petition to DA & jupiter and drew some glyphs & sigils on a small piece of paper then put the oil on the paper then folded it tightly around a small pinch of the powder and put it into a compass locket on a necklace where I was already wearing some wards. Very Good for helping me stay focused on work & necessary tasks, for helping me cut through the BS with more difficult clients, and gives me a good feeling of comfort and protectedness. I cant wear it too long or I get anxiety and artificial depression if im not in a situation where it can be "active" on appropriate targets, but it does work well. I also taped a little piece of paper with the sigils and glyphs and oil to my laptop and have been able to cut through a lot of spam and clear my inboxes and spend less time being mad on social media, and also have less internet trouble! Also, once I was trying to do a remote tarot reading on a friend (with permission & participation) and when I closed to eyes and focused hard to locate her energy all I could see in my mind was a giant black wall with an unopenable lock and no handle. I was like thats weird and asked her if she was wearing any DA items and she was. She removed it & just like that I was able to read her. DA can work like a powerful Bouncer, both energetic and in the mundane world, both against chaotic energies from within or without. highly recommend.
