Oil of Asclepius I
Series, Oils + Perfumes, Sold Out, Asclepius IAsclepius, the ancient Greek God of healing, was petitioned to make this oil as medicine by his own hand. White sage, wildcrafted and sourced from a Native American owned small business, cypress, incense cedar, rose of jericho, frankincense, legally and ethically acquired heart of venomous pit viper, and carnelian were combined with organic, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil as the fixed star Ras Alhague rose in the constellation of the Serpent Bearer.
Anoint that which needs healing, with prayers and thanks to the Divine Physician for his curative blessings. Apply to areas of the body where healthfulness need be restored, during illness, or to boost immunity. Can also be applied to photographs or icons of those in need of healing and transmutation.

Rod of Asclepius Talismans
Series, Collaborations, S+ Tony Mack, Sold Out, Asclepius IGoldsmith Tony Mack collaborated with Sphere + Sundry during the equivalent election in his location to create a stunning set of talismanic snake bound Rods of Asclepius. They feature high grade carnelian set over viper’s tongue, frankincense, and sage, cast in silver. It just so happened that he made 13, a number he did not previously know was associated with Ophiuchus. Our goldsmith reported two weeks after the Work was done:
[pullquote]I’m starting to notice some effects from the staffs on myself. I’ve been getting up way earlier than usual with a lot of energy. Also some inflammation I’ve had for months started to disappear.[/pullquote]
Wear on your person for healing and to help transmute poison into medicine. These are helpful for preserving health and warding away disease, but can also be used by those who have an ongoing health struggle or are taking medications that produce negative side effects. These are wonderful to wear if you work in a healing profession and want to bring the Divine Physician’s blessing into the realm of your client or patient work.
Each talisman comes with a silver chain in a beautiful box hand decorated by Tony. It includes a bottle of Asclepius anointing oil, recommended times for feeding and empowering your talisman, and a prayer to Asclepius.
Smaller 4ct carnelian pieces for $429 are sold out. Ornate 24ct carnelian with snake backing, herbs and viper's tongue inlaid into the bezel for $729 are also sold out.

I almost feel like I take this for granted because I use it every single day—to the point that I’m now spiking regular hair oil with a drop of this to try and go easy on the stuff. I don’t smell the gourmand in this, it’s straight up toasty hay + herbs I can’t identify + a touch of citrus. Reminds me of the Chinese medical halls of my childhood in the best way. I use it fresh out of the shower on damp hair, and let my hair air dry. This also does a really good job of taming frizz once hair is dry (I have long, wavy hair & I live on the equator. Aka humidity central). Really grateful to be able to experience magic in such a mundane part of life, and I wonder how much this has smoothed my path in ways I don’t even know…
As I don’t want to promote lush hair growth on my face, I haven’t tried this as a skin serum. But it’s aces for kinky, curly, dry, frizzy hair. It smooths, softens, adds luster and a nice scent (when it first landed, it smells almost resiny, but with time it’s gotten a little bit foodier). The oils are really nice; I don’t wash my hair daily and this absorbs/coats nicely, never ever looking greasy or dingy even after a second/third day.
Energetically this has felt like it bolsters me, also a little protective and nurturing. Wearing it out means things typically run smoothly. Huzzzahhhh!
This oil is like dessert before breakfast. The nest of super fine hair left after decades of chapeau wearing is tamed into a slightly curly echo of a punky peak thanks to this viscous delicious. The nourishment seeping through my crown is a rainbow way to wake up in the morning too. A jar full of go-go juice wrapped in bronze surrounded by Siddhartha. The Yummiest.
I love this as a hair product. It smells slightly of vanilla, and maybe cocoa? It smells sort of gourmand and now I’m just sniffing my own hair and hands. I don’t always love my hair because I have been blessed with a large amount of hair that is very pin straight. Feeling like I’m having a great hair day is not usual but this gives you insta-great hair day.
This oil is absolutely divine. I bought it for both my partner and I (he’s the beard-haver and we have both been obsessed with the way it has elevated both how we feel about ourselves and how we want to take care of ourselves. I have been fully shaving my head for 2.5 years, and as soon as I started using this Empress oil I felt inclined for the first time in a very long time to do something more intentional and different with my appearance. I started growing my hair out a bit and even died it pink! I am appreciating my appearance for the first time in a long time, and I know the Empress series as a whole (I’ve also been using the oil, incense and BPALs) is seriously aiding me in re-imagining myself and feeling empowered to express myself authentically. Thank you Empress!! Thank you Kaitlin!

This whole series is deeply transformative, but this hair oil is my favorite. A lot of hair products can make my can make my hair look dingy, but this oil makes it look luminous and shiny. It also helps with frizz that is inevitable for us curly-haired folk. Without a doubt it makes me look and feel better before I go about my day. It has also inspired me to start a beauty regimen and to start playing around with make up and glamour magic! Love it. Love it. Love it.
I bought this item specifically for my mustache and it is amazing. The oil smells divine and a little bit is all you need. Just the right consistency. Not only does it make me feel more attractive, it also makes my mustache softer, more glamorous and fuller. It really does facilitate hair growth, much more than I was expecting. This product is also great for razor irritation and dry skin, especially that flaky dry skin one gets around the mouth or under facial hair (“beard-ruff”).
I think that these magical beauty/wellness products are perhaps the most brilliant innovation S+S have produced, and I love seeing them alongside more traditional offerings like incense and candles. This oil is superior in quality to any commercial beard oil I have tried and the magical effects are very potent. It’s been a fantastic addition to my zoom meetings and I am looking forward to wearing it out and about when the time comes. I love the handsome and dashing energy it brings and I think that a lot of men would be thrilled with this product if they gave it a try.
