Having mainly used these (the Oil & Incense) within the context of the Unveiling of Ishhara Ritual, it's difficult for me to separate them from that/ Her. What I can say is that this subset radiates excellent energies of defense, a general sense of power or empowerment, strength, deeper connection to vitality, etc. Definitely one of the best things to choose if you're looking to embody more of a Martial & Scorpionic essence! I find that I use Antares sparingly because I simply don't need any more than that. The series has seemingly fixed long-standing issues permanently with only one or several uses, truly exceeds expectations . . .

This oil is lovely for sustaining equanimity and discipline. It gives me the energy to knock out big tasks and keeps me calm and grounded at the same time. It doesn't feel overpowering even though it brings on the energy. I notice that I don't lose my temper when wearing it. It's gentle like Azure Dragon but more energizing. I wish it came as a 10 ml roller as I'd like to roll it on. In any case, I plan on getting more in future!

I only have to hold it to feel its power. I haven't used the oil on my person yet. I have opened it and smelled it and it feels like it needs to be taken very seriously. There's a don't mess with me energy that is palpable.

This Emperor oil is potent and energetically spicy. It both calls forth and supports a heart at home with courageous action. I’ve used it to anoint a Sixth of Mars Solomonic pentacle and have felt that it amplified and supported the Martial energies. Along with Badger subset powder, I feel it has helped me carefully navigate a tricky and toxic relationship, and succeed where and when I can.

When I open this oil, the severed scorpion stinger floats up to greet me every time.

Also, coincidence? The first few days of usage, I found a 10-year-old channeling session/recording where I asked if I had E.T. past lives–and the channeler literally said first thing, “ANTARES.”

Scorpion Emperor is the covert, psychological warfare energy of Mars. Think spy, espionage, sabotage. Move in silence. Poison your enemies. Don’t show your cards. In fact, NOBODY has to know there are cards. Admittedly, I was really, really paranoid and was into cyber security and watching CIA stuff the whole month during usage.

“Fighting the battle within” also rings true. Dormant fears and skeletons-in-the-closet WILL creep up. PTSD type stuff. Things that made you feel POWERLESS. For me, it was financial and institutional traumas.

The great thing about this energy is that it teaches you that you can’t hide forever–you MUST fight. This is far from Eirene energy (which I also love). Scorpion Emperor will help you see where you can turn the tables and take the power back. However, YOU MUST DARE to step into the ring. Finally then will Scorpion Emperor tell you where to land that victorious death punch. It'll require some strategies, but Scorpion Emperor will make a fighter out of you.

I have become an equal rights advocate. I have been fighting and teaching others how to fight against discrimination. I use the heart of the scorpion to protect me during difficult offensives and to help me strategize my next move. I find that it is so strong and effective that I do not need to apply it to call on its energy. Simply having it in my arsenal is enough.

Favourite item - it feels so good to wear this oil, it helps me to rise to my standards of Scorpio rising - seeing right through people's words, emotions, and agendas, not being triggered no matter what, keeping my mind on the goal I want to archive and deprioritising everything that could get in a way.

I know the advice is that Antares doesn’t make friends but I love this oil for giving tarot readings. It makes me feel more in-tune with the discomfort of the querent and get to the root of what is underneath their words. Seeing behind the story they are telling me (and often the story they’re telling themselves).

I tend to get very distracted when I'm supposed to do things, either sensory wise- or just THINGS that seem interesting. Emperor Scorpion cuts through my mental BS and allows me to do the things I WANT TO DO I SWEAR just starting is hard :) Anyway, after a trip with my kids to Chuck E Cheese where I was able to get some work done and make sure the kids checked in routinely, I decided to add some more Antares to my life and ordered some powder and Kolona.

I'm a sort of professional exorcist and I love using this to help me remove malicious spirits from people and places- it makes things a lot easier, both with the added power boost and mindset. As I've said to my other friends before: metaphorically speaking, normal Antares would give me the strength to fight a bear with my bare hands. Scorpion would give me the wits to just pull out a gun.
