I rarely do reviews but…. I’m here to sing the praises of Austin Coppock. Not Austin Coppock the Astrologer, or the scholar, or the one who sees well in shadows. This is my heartfelt admiration for, dare I say the word, the prowess as an Astromage. Fiery Wall is protection on Steroids.

There’s never been a Sphere & Sundry release that was totally executed by anyone other than Kaitlin and I really had my doubts here. First, I’m something of a hoodoo know it all and too many times I’ve seen backfires set that burned down the house. Not here. This is the cleanest, military cornered, Fiery Wall that you’ll ever see. Do follow the instructions and cleanse spiritually and physically first.

I did five passes over the kitchen floor before I used these bath salts as a floor wash. Wooosh! It burns through negativity in an instant, raise your arms and the wall of protection builds itself, and an outer perimeter monitored for disingenuous intrusions. And… wait for it… keeps creating it.

It has been a week, the dogs have tracked in mud and it’s still working. I can feel it seeking out the hidden influences in a way that complements the prevention of Deneb Algedi and X-ray vision of Mother Algol materia. This is where this materia really shines — lifting up and looking under those rocks for the hidden influences. But again, do your ritual cleaning on all levels first for just the reasons you imagine.

In real life, the person who was selling knockoffs of my art stopped with a gentle but firm request. No nukes involved. Costly mistakes have stopped. And I have not anointed a candle or said a prayer. This was my test drive: Floor wash only.

One last thing: It is warm. I’ve had to lower the thermostat one to two degrees.

Bath salts are not my go-to materia, but this seemed like an obvious salt to have on hand as a staple. The scent isnt quite as spicy/cinnamony as the other other materia I ordered, but it's delicious in its own way. And I did taste a salt chunk, they are yummy, but not as good as the ritual salts, neither of which are are meant to be tasted so dont listen to me and try them. I'm working on using the balt salts for a ritual solstice bath along with the salts, oil, and candle for year end/solstice ritual, will probably add in some Jup materia as well. I'm very excited, will report back with how it goes.
