Fomalhaut Steep + Smoke

I love the Fomalhaut materia! I've been brewing it into a mushroom tea and going on magical walks. Maybe it's the mushrooms, maybe it's the material, but reality feels so malleable

I have used this both as a tea and as an addition to my pipe, and it has such a beautiful quality to it. It feels very similar to the feeling you get at like 3 in the morning after a concert or event where the world just doesn't quite seem normal, like you could turn the corner and walk into a fairy circle. I don't notice it effecting my dreams, but it's a wonderful support for art and creativity.

I love this Steep+Smoke. Really delivers with a soothing feel, facilitating the flow of ideas and conversations...

This is the strongest power from steep and smoke S+S has to offer. I used more than needed the first time and while got absolutely amazing dream and revelation I did suffer some stomach cramps. Very powerful, highly recommend but also little goes long way - titre down if you ingest internally.

I'm not quite sure what this S+S does yet, at least in comparison to some of the others. I don't have good dream recall, so perhaps that is part of it. Strong thyme taste; not unpleasant, just less sweet and more herbal than some of the others. However, gets five stars because throwing a pinch of this over your shoulder and saying a prayer to Fomy finds lost things quickly. A godsend for this ADHD-afflicted household.

Sometimes I forget about the protective qualities of Fomy, but truly, a spiritual seekers buffer I think, especially given how they are called in through S+S. This paired with anything else from the series, or perhaps Luna in Cancer feels like immediate psychic cleanse and deep dive. Great for energy work and re-hydrating, re-viving that part of the self. Appreciate too how the tin from the materia once done can be re-used as a mini-altar (as someone so kindly shared in the community forum!)

Paired with Luna before divination sessions, this is profound. As always, I get sea legs and an unavoidable desire to watch all things ocean related - pirates, shark week, jaws you name it. Lovely S&S that I wouldn’t ever want to be without.

Because of a sensitivity to hops, I only used this materia as a weak tea. It pairs well with Mary Jane and meditative (especially walking meditation) or creative endeavors. Even relaxing with a coloring book on a dreary, rainy day is made more interesting with the addition of Fomalhaut.

Lovely as a tea - I sometimes mix it with extra blue lotus (which it contains) in order to make the pot last longer. A good steep and smoke to have on hand for divination or meditation.

One of my first steep & smokes, the tea is reminiscent of the ocean, best served with a little honey. I like to keep a steaming cup as a welcome companion when writing - especially journalling or when drawing on old memories. Now that I think on it, this would be a brilliant tool for soul retrieval work.
