Exalted Mercury Cazimi Water
A wide variety of mercurial plants were ritually harvested the day before the cazimi election, on Mercury’s day and hour. These and other herbs, along with Virgoan grains, were combined with freshly collected water from the headwaters of the Sacramento River in Mt. Shasta. The distillation process for this hydrosol was initiated the day of the cazimi as it conjoined the Midheaven in the hour of Mercury, and produced throughout the day as Mercury moved even closer to the heart of Sol.
Mentally activating with a grounded quality, with notes of soft fennel and pearl barley. Spray on the neck at the base of the skull and around the head for a cerebral boost before writing, studying, researching, responding to written communications, setting upon your to-do list, or performing any activity that would benefit from expedited mental processing, linguistic traction, and attention to detail.
Each glass bottle contains one stunning AAA grade Ethiopian opal with excellent clarity and colorful spark, ethically sourced.

Forgemaster’s Iron Palm Dit Da Jow
Sundry, Waters, Sold OutThe furnace blazes, the iron glows. Blood burns in the hammer-arm of the blacksmith. Stubborn metal becomes malleable, open to convincing arguments from the hammer and the strong hand that wields it.
Fire, iron, and blood. This is the holy trinity of Mars, as crucial for creation as it is for destruction. While many know Mars as the Warrior, the red planet is equally the Smith. In the Smith we see the constructive side of Mars, the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to shape and re-shape our lives, our bodies, ourselves.
The Smith’s alchemical action is an especially apt metaphor for the transformation of the body. The layers of effort required to re-forge the body are quintessentialy martial, and there is no exercise regimen as close to the forge as Iron Palm.
Iron Palm refers to a family of limb-training methods which strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones for both defensive and offensive purposes. Many styles also emphasize the internal side, cultivating increased qi emission capacity for both striking and healing purposes.
Though there are many variations, the training almost always consists of a daily routine of hitting progressively more resilient materials. A canvas bag of bean, then stones, then metal. Though the results are dramatic, the training process is incremental, with as much attention paid to healing and perfect recovery as to anything else.
Over the years, a great number of liniments have been created for this purpose. Generally referred to as dit da jow, they are widely available and widely used for general athletic purposes well outside of the specific practice of an Iron Palm regimen.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is one of these Iron Palm formulae, but with a Sphere + Sundry twist. This Jow was created in a fully ritual manner and at a precisely elected astrological time.
Prayers to Mars the Forgemaster were intoned to bless and empower this tincture at the outset of the operation. The operators were consecrated to the red work, and the medicine vessels adorned with magic square, seal, and sigil.
The elected time seemed a spectacularly appropriate and rare moment for this work. It was the Day and Hour of Mars, with the red planet exalted in Capricorn and on the Ascendant. This powerful, earthy Mars was further supported by a trine from an exalted Moon in Taurus, and meanwhile, Jupiter in Mars-ruled Scorpio crowned the zenith (MC). Not only was Mars strong, but Mars, the Rising, Moon, and Sun were all in Earth signs in order to ensure that the planet’s iron blessings were sufficiently rooted in the very bodily goal of this creation.
After the evocations were said, the herbal and animal ingredients were sealed in their alchemical bath for 18 months.
The result, the Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow, is not only rich with the spirit and energy of this powerful Mars election, it also possesses the excellent properties bestowed by the materia of the formulation itself.
The basis for this recipe is the Iron Palm formula of Yu Cheung (1894- 1952), one of the famed Five Tigers of Canton. His iron palm feats were famously documented in the early 1900's by photographers, and though his stone-shattering exploits are too numerous to cover here, there are entire books dedicated to his training methods. Crucially, he was known not just his power of his hands, but also their sensitivity.
This formula was designed by him to cultivate both strength and softness. Protection for the hand, energy gates, and organ systems while also maximizing sensitivity and the capacity to express qi for both healing and striking purposes. Yu Cheung’s formula is the basis for this liniment, though it has been modified in small ways for reasons of both ethics and efficacy.
This liniment is designed to unblock the qi flow, activate blood movement, relax tendons and ligaments and increase bone strength. The two types of qi this formula stimulates are wei qi or “defensive/guardian energy” and regular organ qi. This formula activates both in harmony, and is one of the many reasons it is superior to a store-bought dit da jow.
Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is formulated to facilitate the healing of bruises , tendons, sinews, and bones, and to reduce pain, strengthen blood vessels, reduce swelling, and mitigate blood stagnation. It also protects the meridians and mobilizes both protective and organ qi for health and vitality.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is, of course, perfect for an Iron Limb regimen, but has a number of other uses. Both physically and energetically, it is an ideal pre- and post- workout liniment for any martial striking practice, such as boxing and kickboxing. More broadly, it can be used to ready and fortify the muscles, tendons, and joints in preparation for any athletic activity, and to facilitate the swift healing of bruises. Magically, it is appropriate for works of fortification and the cultivation of personal power.
Bottled and a portion made available to the public on the first Tuesday after Mars returned to Capricorn in 2020, a year and a half after creation. Arrives in a glass bottle with spray top for easy application, in either a travel/ sample size of 1/2 oz for $25, or full 2 oz for $75 Note: Should not be used in areas with mucous membranes, skin rashes, open cuts, or sores. Apply a small amount, wait an hour, if no allergic reaction occurs, continue with use. External application only.
Water of Asclepius III
Waters, Sprays + Hydrosols, Sold Out, Asclepius III
If I’d known how well this stuff works, I would have stocked up while it was available. I use a spritz on my third eye almost daily, and on the backs of my hands when I need an extra charge. My work is writing-driven and often unstructured, and when I use this after a few days without, or when I use it in larger doses, I am uncharacteristically focused and productive.
I bought this for my autistic teen who struggles with communication and neurotypical people understanding him. Many times he feels burnt out and overloaded by trying to get his point across. Now that he has his bottle, he uses it when it’s been a particularly tough communication day and knows he still has more talking to do, but also he has started giving talks on autism and sprays this anytime he presents. It has made such a difference for him in being confident in his communication!
Out of all of my S&S products, I seem to use this the most! With several planets having been in water recently, my brain loves this product! It helps to keep my mind and focus sharp. Whenever I need to write or focus, I spray this water on m myself and my work area! I highly recommend!
I’ve been working really hard, steadily, to get my podcast network off the ground and power through a lot of solo-days where I am just needing to get through task after task. When I’ve had dips in focus, I’ve usually struggled. I ordered this to experiment with and it has been a huge gift. I anointed my work station and refreshed my head with it when I started to get hazy and disconnected. It has taught me how to power through and how to use my high energy effectively. I’m hoping I can order more soon!
While I’m still in the early stages of exploring my use of this product, I am grateful this product exists. I wanted to pay Mercury tribute by posting a review about the spray here.
My background: I’m a Virgo Sun and Rising with an Ascendant Conjunction Mercury. My Mercury is in Libra. My Mars is also in Virgo. I felt like I needed this item for the Mercury retrograde going on this month, and secondarily because communication and the spirit of this energy/planet is significant to me.
As an aside, it seemed uncanny that the package with this item in it arrived by Wednesday after being shipped Monday of this week from southern OR. Having lived in the southern OR city of Medford for many years, I was impressed by this shipping speed (Medford is the nearest city of increased size to Ashland, the tiny city where the package was shipped from). I was also thinking about how much I wanted to use everything in my package on Wednesday at work and was expecting the box would arrive Thursday because the tracking data said it would. Then, when I returned home the package had been delivered earlier that day.
In any case, I have thus far used the spray to stimulate myself when extremely tired and improve clarity/communication to others at the time. The product has been more effective than I expected for that purpose even though I read the reviews before buying it.
Shooting the spray in the back of the neck and a few other areas of the body seemed to start stimulating effects immediately. I could feel the effects spreading thereafter. Within an hour, my fatigue had significantly receded both physically and mentally and I was better able to finish my day at work with increased energy and clearer verbal communication. I especially recommend the back of the neck for where to shoot the product because that seemed to give my body a pleasant cooling jolt.
On a related note, I am diabetic and don’t fare well when exhausted because I can start getting accumulative symptoms from the diabetes as much as my mounting tiredness. The nature of my current job impacts me badly as well because I may not get time to eat lunch on some days…or much of anything for many hours. This can affect mental acuity and focus, cause a sense of harsh fatigue settling in a still-young body (29), and impact clarity of speech and reaction time the longer I go without food. So any item that can add to my mental alertness, improve clarity of communication when tired, and decrease mental and physical fatigue until I can get home for the day is really welcome.
I’m happy with the lightweight shape and overall convenience of this product’s design too. I started carrying around the spray bottle in a small coin purse shaped and colored like a red fox when I got the spray and that makes it easy to find in my work bag. Plus, it seems more respectful to me somehow to give the product its own space when it is traveling with me.
well! i cracked the seal on this hydrosol today and sprayed it at the base of my skull. immediately the fog cleared – like that first burst of caffeine in the morning. i ran all of my errands in no time flat and was able to easily help a friend verbally process some recent events in her life; the words came so easily and i am not drained by the conversation!
thanks again!
I cannot say enough good about this hydrosol! I use it when I need to focus, spritz myself, then meditate on what I need.
It helps me get stuff done! I should have purchased a bigger bottle!
I use this spray regularly at work and for other tasks I may need a lot of mental energy to complete. I loved it so much I went back for the set!
this really helped during the retrograde in pisces. I use it when I need to focus and get stuff done. it’s a nice way to rev up the engine without it feeling like a big kick in the ass. definitely worth getting!
I am so glad I found Sphere + Sundry! The care, skill, integrity and documentation associated with their products astounds me. The photography alone is a blessing.
I ordered three electional waters to help me understand the potency of the working. Packaging, guidelines and communication are all impeccable. And one spritz of the Mercury water this afternoon has helped me complete several work tasks (with pleasure and focus) and turn on my out of office email. This is the real deal.
Thank you!
I bought this in anticipation of the current retrograde. It is spectacular stuff. I’m actually mildly panicked that I forgot to pack my bottle with me for the week. Everything was smooth sailing until I forgot my bottle. Some things that have fritzed out so far: a misunderstanding caused my pharmacy to overcharge me for the generic version of an expensive medicine, a website didn’t accept a discount code and charged me the full amount, and another website refused to cooperate when I desperately needed to apply for something. I shudder to think what I’ve managed to avoid while wearing the water! This is good stuff, and I hope I make it through the rest of the retrograde without it, lol.
I credit this spray with helping during our house hunt while on a Mercury retrograde. Sometimes the real estate world and the stars don’t mutually align. However, I used this spray very effectively to counteract whatever communications issues we may encounter. In fact, we did so well that I credit this with a successful hunt.
This has been really wonderful when I use it during the hour of mercury or the day or both to sit in write. I feel though that you need to have a clear tasks and objectives in mind. It’s not for casual use. I’ve always used it before giving lectures and talks and it’s been really great for my mind recalling many different anecdotes and facts and being really focused.
