Fomalhaut Body Butter

of all the salves and BBs offered by S+S, this is the most restful for my system. I rarely remember my dreams, and usually when I do, it’s stressful, but when I use this stuff my dreams are soft and calm and I sleep deeply without being assaulted by my unconscious. wake up feeling refreshed and soft, like I’ve been held in the ocean’s womb overnight <3

i forget, is the form for my ease, a preference of consumption, or does magical function follow? i applied this butter as vehicle but rather than communication i fell without forethought into the fourfold breath. just vessel-tending, depth-testing.

This was near the first and still one of my most favourite S+S offerings. Fomalhaut (+Jupiter) just feels like I have everything I need, supported and suspended in a nourishing ocean. I find myself feeling resourced enough, and gently nudged by this great whale to engage with creative practice. The body butter is the perfect formula for my sensitive skin, and the fragrance is lusciously devine. I don't know what else to say except that it feels like everything.

It smells INCREDIBLE. All the soft comfort of a walk down the beach with seagulls crying out. Smooth and soothing, always super helpful when I'm feeling tense and stressed. Great for journeying and divination.

The physical sensation of floating and having a fish-like body is the strongest after using this butter for me. The first item from S+S that have finished ever. And I am talking about 6 oz size. Very soothing and understanding/accepting energy.

oh, Fomalhaut, what can I say that would accurately convey my deep love for you? I purchased my first Fomy body butter on the secondary market, looking for something to try out that's a bit more "out there" than grounding like other materia. I love it so much, I purchased the large body butter and will continue to do so as long as it's available!

Lots of people say this is great for tuning in and extra-sensory input but I have found with my chart it's simply deeply relaxing and connective. Fomalhaut is in paran with my natal full moon so it feels like coming back to home in the deepest most relaxing way. I use this nearly every night at bedtime. The time I tried it during the day (after a ritual bath), I was overcome by a wave of relaxation that took me to a wild daydream nap of whale-sized proportions.

Don't be put off by the smell warnings. I don't find this fishy at all. More like being at the beach. It's delightfully odd and salty smelling to me, and I adore it.

I want to say thank you so much for this wonderful body butter. After using it for a few weeks now it has produced a real difference in the way I feel in my body. Whether you use this for spirit flight, a way to plant your feet before a big event, our just for a “coming home” embodiment this body butter is great. I would recommend this to anyone that has an evolving relationship with their corporeal self and especially for other Trans/Nonbinary people who want to alleviate some dysphoria scaries in a positive way. Its affects are very gentle, and after application, bring a good sigh as you settle into your skin. In this capacity, the fomalhaut body feels like a nice ease into a comfortable sea foam bath that helps to anchor you and honor your transformative nature. Thank you again so much and incredibly excited to explore more of Kaitlin’s work ✨

This series, like Luna in Cancer, seems to make some people really trip out and just subtly nudge others. I get pretty subtle effects from it relative to what some other people experience, but I've used it to nourish my tarot practice and have had significant benefits from that incrementally over time. Through regular use (not necessarily use every time I divine), my intuitive relationship with the practice has gotten a lot stronger and more organic, and I feel more assured in those intuitive senses. I keep the body butter in my bedside drawer, and I've started remembering more of my dreams and having more free-associating sorts of dreams since it started living there (even though I've only actually applied it before sleep once). Interestingly it doesn't really seem to affect my meditation practice much, so I'd encourage people to try it out for different things and see what it augments and where it isn't as useful for you specifically.

In the evenings out listening to and dancing to music (fav pastime of mine) after applying this body butter, I have heard a musician include whale sounds in his ambient music set, another musician include visuals of whale sharks, and twice outside the techno party random people brought up whales in conversation. This body butter brings on feelings of intense relaxation, and often a desire to meditate or get lost in something enjoyable, like Tarot. It honestly has a buzz that reminds me of marijuana (another fav pastime). I can also testify that I had some pronounced experiences of prolonged eye contact, which is very enjoyable and a bit unusual for me.

Please heed the warnings that it smells of the sea, because it very much does, in a funk that you will find unforgettable. That said, I didn't have to apply much before getting opportunities to work with my shadow in a way that I really needed to deal with. I got to sit down with myself and really figure out where my feelings were coming from, and if I even wanted that in the first place. So I would say when going exploring, or shadow work, this is pretty great. I'm hoping that with more use I'll be able to figure out my 12H stellium, too.
