Golden Sol II Ink + Skin Stain

This will absolutely stain but I don't mind it! It helps with energy and brightness throughout the day when used to anoint myself with sigils. I prefer the smell of this ink to the Regulus one as well, as it's citrussy - and the glitter is gorgeous.

Absolutely love this - it has been amazing for drawing in Solar Energy, easing nerves around being visible/seen in new ways (helpful as an entrepreneur), and also effective for warding sigils. I like to use watercolor brushes to apply my sigil for more detailed work. My side note is that turmeric is a high stain ingredient so my only warning is to beware of contact with clothing and make sure it dries effectively. 🙂

In terms of just physical composition, this is my favorite ink: the sparkly golden color is gorgeous and really stands out on the skin, although it is a *stain*, and it is harder to wash off than others. I usually draw the Sol glyph on my wrist on Sunday mornings along with applying the water, oil, and body butter for some family time, and it really brings the joy and relaxation.

The sparkle truly cannot be understated on this one, it's SOOOO GORGEOUS!! Worth noting that the ink does contain turmeric which will absolutely stain anything it comes in contact with almost instantly, so definitely apply mindfully only where bright yellow splotches won't bother you (but one nice thing about the high stain potential is that it does make this one of the more visible magical inks S+ offers - very appropriate for Sol!)
My most frequent application so far has just been to draw a simple heart on my chest before I wear the talisman, and I've definitely noticed a positive impact on how it affects the talisman's manifestations when I do this (Leo is my 7th house, so I usually wear in the context of helping myself be more extroverted and open to actually connecting with others).

Plus its just so fun to color stuff with this ink, the sparkle and *joy* just spill out from the bottle any time I open it. Love this product!!

The color of this ink! The sparkle! This was just the most gorgeous material to create magical Solstice greetings cards with. Recipients were awed by the beauty of the ink and the vibrancy of the magic radiating off of them. Working with this ink also felt so delightful. Perfectionistic self criticism vanished like the unnecessary echo it is and let the artistic endeavor be joyful and SHINE.

Love love love Golden Sol II ink. Golden Sol II has been a tough series for me to warm up to (I'm very fire heavy in my chart) but the ink has been spectacular to work with. SO YELLOW!! So GOLDEN!! so BRIGHT!! so POWERFUL!! Excellent ink for sigils, protection, and general Sol workings.
