This is one kolonía I cannot be without--I'm on my second bottle now! Whenever my energy feels scattered or disturbed I use this with the energetic cleansing routine and it never fails to help. It feels like it forms a protective container around me and reinforces the boundary between what is mine and what is not. I especially like to use it before bedtime and find it helps set the stage for restful sleep. And I love the smell!

An extra layer in my defense against weak/ened boundaries. I love that the kolonia is so versatile. My boundaries feel fortified, my hands cleansed, my mind calmed, my spirit intact

This is an absolute staple and I hope to never be without. This form does so much in so many ways: sleep support and protection via my diffuser, added to a mist to spritz over my field and in my office after client work, after guests visit, to amplify reiki and clear evil eye and to prevent it in the first place before going out, to clean and charge protective stones, added to floor washes…and despite all these uses, it goes a long long way…so sturdy, reliable and long lasting.

It took me a long time to come around to kolonias, but this one has turned me into a kolonia STAN through and through. Not only does it pair well with nearly everything, but it’s great for every-day use and doesn’t feel heavy after awhile like some of the other forms of this series. Removes obstacles and reveals weaknesses in your protections, magical and mundane, so that they can be patched and reenforced. I use this in all of my floor washes but my favorite way to use it is mixing 15-20 drops in a spray bottle with vodka and filtered water to use as an aura spray. I *will* be buying more of this kolonia as I never want to be out of it.

This is, for me, the most clarifying kolonia. It busts up bad moods and self-indulgent spiraling like nothing else, and I almost always back it up by applying DAII salve. Best combination for reducing stress -- this Mercurial sweetie finds it the best way to slow down without feeling Slowed Down.

Deneb Algedi II is just wonderful and I've had great experiences with every form I've worked with. I'd actually happily recommend anything I've used as a starting point (ritual salt, steep & smoke), but I saw a really great argument on the client forum for starting with cleansing forms of any series, and DA feels especially aligned with that. A fancier version of hand sanitizer kind of feels like a good metaphor for DA's whole deal, and this stuff is pretty much exactly spiritual hand sanitizer. I keep a small decant in my purse and it's such a nice energy to have at the ready: good for showing up, maintaining boundaries, Doing the Right Thing, getting some of the world's absolutely plentiful literal and figurative gunk off yourself when necessary. Can't go wrong with DA in general as far as I'm concerned, but this feels especially worthy of its hype.

This Kolonia is EXCELLENT. A perfect cleanser + “purifier” that isn’t too harsh and works in tandem with your own energies. Love it!!! I often see planetary energies with my synesthesia, and this has almost a light blue aura to it that is perfect for clearing out all energies that aren’t serving you & balancing your energy! Plus I love using this with other materia- it clears out anything blocking the planetary energies from working their magic!

This is my first kolonia, and I almost fell over when I smelled it the first time. It takes me back to laundry days at my grandparents' house - the smell of fluffy, warm towels drying in the sun. The comfort of wrapping up in freshly laundered sheets at the end of a long day. I want to bathe in this!

On a practical note, I like to use this kolonia before rituals, ritual baths, or handling other materia like body butters. Have also added this to a window wash tincture made from other S+ materia for cleaning + protecting.

There’s a groundedness that comes for me using this kolonia. My go to when I want to mean serious business and get into the right space and be super boundaries in a beautiful way. Love this

When going out in public I feel exposed at times. I like to float by without too much notice or feeling overwhelmed. I find that when I apply the Kolonia directly on me it has a nice effect where I don’t worry or think too much about what eyes are on me. I feel secure in my bubble. When I apply the Kolonia to bracelets or rings, I notice the effect more strongly. I come home from a full day’s outing without feeling drained and tired. It’s my go-to and I pair it with almost everything else. Truly a staple.
