Incense of Exalted Venus II
$28.00 – $84.00
Organic and wildcrafted herbs of a Venusian purview, including lavender, damiana, red clover, spearmint, and sundry others, fumigated during Sphere + Sundry’s Exalted Venus II election following prayers and offerings to the Fairer Benefic.
Ground in the day and hour of Venus following months of quiet incubation, with the addition of sandalwood, benzoin, frankincense, genuine copper leaf, vanilla bean, purple jade, and pink amethyst.
Ingredient ratios are adjusted to account for scent when burning, and makko powder added to perpetuate it.
Create a small, peaked mound or draw lines over ash or sand. Light one end or the top until it catches, and enjoy.
Burn as an offering; smoke bathe the body, or use as a fumigant for space clearing, inviting connection, comfort, and all manner of love.
Offered in a 1/2 oz glass vial with cork top for $28, or 2 oz bulk pot for $84

Customer Reviews
One of the best smelling incenses I have tried from S+S. The energy that comes with it is calm an serene. I love to use it for the days when I need to let go and not be clingy to the outcome I have imagined. Usually and relaxation sets in with it comes the desirable result.
I both gave this as a gift to a friend moving into a shared creative work space and gifted it to myself also for use at work. Definitely promotes harmony, getting along with both close buddies and those with whom I have a little conflict. In general makes creative, home and work relationships a bit softer, smoother and optimistic.
I make some botanical medicines-- generally salves, tinctures, teas, body oils, etc. I haven't ever tried to make an incense. This smells so inviting and luscious, the little lines of smoke curl and wave and billow in a mesmerizing way. I love the ritual of it at night, just for a minute's pause and appreciation.
I use during Venusian devotions and love the smell
Definitely one of my favorite incenses to use! Not just from S+S, but in general. It's an herby-lavender scent, and it smells good, but what I really appreciate most is the energy. I feel instantly calmer, happier, more able to embody my feminine self & beauty... I could go on. Indispensable materia for me!
I love this incense! It has been a staple in my weekly Venus rituals and it always softens the mood. My natal Venus is at 0 degrees Pisces, so I love bathing in this to enhance my best Piscean qualities - I am a musician/DJ and will bathe in this incense before a gig, which seems to always result in a connected and giving crowd! I plan to buy more to keep bathing before work, it's been a delight to experience.
I bought this with several other incenses for planetary devotions. It's my Friday night go-to, which is great for just for disconnecting, unwinding and transitioning into to the weekend. Smells immaculate, like all S+S stuff. It gives a similar vibe to Butter Ocean, I guess since they're both in Pisces, but this feels much less cosmic and more physical, if that makes any sense.
S+S incense just hits different but this one especially is just so special. It is so easy to control how much you use; a hack I recently found that I've become really into is to use one of those very small spoons that you can use with bulk spices. The smell is totally divine! I highly recommend this product, you will not be disappointed!
I still have some materials from this series. As I've used them at specific and careful times, I'm starting to notice that the effects they have cannot be coincidence. They've been my entry into a real interest in magic. It's empowering and delightful. Thank you, S+S <3
A truly gorgeous scent— one that makes me feel as though all is right with the world for the time being. There’s a palpable energetic shift in my apartment whenever I burn it, and the quality of visible light seems to shift & lift a little bit too, giving everything a sort of glow.

I recently adopted a very young female ferret in hopes she’d be a companion for my older male ferret, but I was concerned at first because they really weren’t getting along. (For the record, I don’t use scents around my pets, and I keep the door shut to the room where they live whenever I burn incense, candles, plant matter, etc.) Anyway, one afternoon I burned some of this incense in my bedroom, and as the last tiny glowing ember went from orange to ash, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps the ferrets would be affected by the materia. I left my room, crossed the apartment, and opened the door to see the two of them snuggled up together in a little pile of blankets, the little one lovingly grooming and licking the older one’s ears, as he blissfully rested with his eyes closed. I was barely able to catch the slightest hint of scent from the incense, but I really had to sniff around for it, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed it. It was quite a pleasant surprise to see such a drastic turnaround, and they’ve been the best of friends since then.
Not a single item I’ve ordered from S&S has been a disappointment in the slightest— this stuff really works. Thank you so much!

They feature high grade carnelian set over viper’s tongue, frankincense, and sage, cast in silver. It just so happened that he made 13, a number he did not previously know was associated with Ophiuchus. Our goldsmith reported two weeks after the Work was done:
[pullquote]I’m starting to notice some effects from the staffs on myself. I’ve been getting up way earlier than usual with a lot of energy. Also some inflammation I’ve had for months started to disappear.[/pullquote]
Wear on your person for healing and to help transmute poison into medicine. These are helpful for preserving health and warding away disease, but can also be used by those who have an ongoing health struggle or are taking medications that produce negative side effects. These are wonderful to wear if you work in a healing profession and want to bring the Divine Physician’s blessing into the realm of your client or patient work.
Each talisman comes with a silver chain in a beautiful box hand decorated by Tony. It includes a bottle of Asclepius anointing oil, recommended times for feeding and empowering your talisman, and a prayer to Asclepius.
