I've noticed when I wear any S+ Venus materia that compliments and general positive feelings are more forthcoming in both directions. With EVII, the vibe is specifically loving, like everyone wants to let you know why they think you're lovely (as opposed to Empress which feels a bit more distant and regal, or VAD which is a bit more giddy). Like you're shrouded in a fluffy pink cloud and everyone wants to gush about how fluffy and pink it is. I particularly like the powder for how versatile and long lasting it is. All you need is a tiny pinch in your shoes or rubbed into the skin and you're good to go. Thank you, our heavenly Queen!

I like to add the powder to my candles and workings especially when I need Venus energy and the Venetian weather is lacking. I find it to be a viable addition to an offering whenever I am performing a petition…. For me it is a must have in my arsenal.

As one would expect, this series loves feet! (lol) So I really like sprinkling this powder in my socks to help bring me into my body and experience pleasure. Makes me feel sentimental and loving, opens the heart. Does attract crushes, so I’ve learned not to bring this powder to work!

The powders are a perennial favorite of mine and Exalted Venus II is no exception. My favorite use is in honey jars, but they make a great addition to your shoes, especially when shopping for Venus things: cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, or other personal care, beauty and/or. spa treatments. It has a lovely scent and salespeople seem to treat me especially nice when EVII is in use.

My favorite Venus materia by S+S. The first time I used it (sprinkled some on my clothes) someone came up to me and handed me a flag of my country and said “this is my gift to you”. Everytime I use the materia I’m surrounded by gifts and a beautiful flow of generous giving. Lots of sharing and lots of sweetness. I’m so grateful for her especially at this time.

My cats become so much more snuggly when I fumigate my bedroom with this incense! I like to open windows and air out the house when I do a big cleaning day, and this is usually the incense I use to fumigate while doing so. It's not necessarily the best for trying to Marie Kondo everything -- I certainly feel MORE attached to clutter I might otherwise be inclined to let go while under this influence -- but if you're using something seriously antibacterial to wipe away the literal dirt and grime, and you're using something spiritually astringent such as Asclepius, this is an excellent way to introduce sweet, mellow vibes back into the space as a baseline on which to build after clearing away. I love burning this incense as a general mood-booster and good-vibes-enhancer.

Still have some of this! Exalted Venus was an amazing series for me. I adore the way this powder smells. While I really like the scent of the EVII powder too, that one is a bit more minty. This one is mostly a rich, sweet, sensual lavender. Both powders serve Venus' purposes well, and choosing between the two would be super difficult as each works perfectly to manifest Venusian intentions!

Helpful powder for so many things. I like to add a pinch to the sleep mask and eye mask I use for resizing tension in my scalp. The versatility and effectiveness are unbeatable.

I have always loved the powders as a financially accessible, powerful but flexible medium for the series and this is no exception! I have mixed it with other incenses and burned it as an incense (which works great!), used it to make offerings, dress candles, sprinkle the corners of my room, etc... it offers a grounded sense of relaxation and embodiment (perhaps in contrast to Jupiter's "above the clouds" flavor of calm) that is warm, nourishing, and inviting. I have used it to open easy, free flowing, heart-forward conversations with friends, family, and my husband. It offers a quiet but secure base for authentic, embodied, flowing connection.

My own Exalted Venus has Ketu grinding all over it, so it doesn't get to do the fun things it would without that influence hanging over it. But as I work through my Venus issues and engage with Venusian materia, I find that this series is really good at regulating my very strong Mars.

My temper is such that all sense of self-preservation goes out the window when it is triggered. I work very hard to keep it in check. Having to restrain my feelings makes me irritated, but using this powder in moments of repressed [grrrrr] takes the edge off of having to behave. "To lovely Venus and to Bacchus yield" is very true. EVII is good at making my Mars yield without rancor and better still, reminds me that scorched earth anger is not productive. So yes, it's lovely and calming etc but it's also good for dialing the rage down so you can get strategic instead.
