Powders are so delightfully versatile - this one is perfect for those projects that just need to go *right*. I tend to use Luminous Crown materia for projects related to home improvement - whether I'm wearing powder in my shoes when furniture shopping, or mixing it in with potting soil intended for new plants and trees (especially fruit trees). I have also used it with great success for blessing other types of projects - creative projects or more career/job focused ones.

So powerful and versatile - writing out this review has prodded me that I haven't been using it as much lately as I need to, so I will get right on that.

All that said, this whole series is just magnificent and powerful - so grateful to have this in my toolkit.

Makes everything exponentially easier, I feel like I often reach for it during days that I feel something is missing or I want to add potential to especially narrowed mars objectives, it’s like a good way to streamline the other materia you’re layering it with.

Using this powder has been such an uplifting experience! So far, I’ve only used it to dress candles, which I prepared with the intention of “lighting my path” in both a spiritual and creative sense. The most notable result for me was a gradual yet irreversible mindset shift, the sense of getting “unstuck” after a long period of sorrow and stagnancy. Over time, I realized that I was finding it easier to approach my long term goals with a sense of optimism and energy, and as a result, I was able to accomplish more in 2023 than I have in a while. Materia from the other S+S series often helps to shift my immediate mood, but I found that Luminous Crown had a more lasting influence over my mental and emotional state. I also didn’t need to use it often for this effect, which is what I tend to do with other series when I want long term results. So I’d certainly say that a little bit of Luminous Crown goes a long way, in my experience! As the write-up implies, it stands out even among S+S offerings as exceptionally powerful and transformative. I feel very fortunate that I was able to purchase some.

(I should also mention that I began using this powder in preparation to engage with the Thema Mundi series, and it worked wonderfully in that regard. Luminous Crown reminds me of Thema Mundi in some ways, which makes sense, given the influence of multiple planets in both elections. So I’d happily recommend Thema Mundi to anyone looking for a similar experience to Luminous Crown, though I would say TM is even more potent and world-moving.)

This powder is very versatile and a little goes a loooooong way. I cut it with rice flour and corn starch and use it in my hair as dry shampoo and sometimes as shoe powder. Using LC on my person without some sort of plan in place leads to restlessness and even rage. It's really good at drawing out dissatisfaction and forcing you (me) to take a hard look at wtf is going on and if you (I) will seriously participate in *this,* whatever that may be.

I infused some Florida water with this powder and I like spraying it as an alternative offering for Saturn or Mars. It has big "clearing the cobwebs" vibes when used this way. It also doesn't bring on the restlessness, though I'm not sure if that's an effect of the Flordia water's cleansing properties or if the act of offering it gives the energies the needed direction.

I've yet to mindfully call on this item as a unified entity, but I really love having it as a softened version of malefic materia.

I use this powder when I am unsure what energy is might be needed to accomplish things or in any situation when there are multiple factors involved in success. Universal and powerful.

I feel fortunate to have stockpiled this powder. Not only for all the dignities involved but also the fortunate dispositor chain from the sun to Saturn, all smiled on from the feminine party in Taurus. All you need is a Jupiter powder of your choice or a fortunate star and you have mighty materia for container Magick or offerings. So grounded, strong, and versatile.. but absolutely serious and life changing. Fuck around and find out ;)

I've been using LC to create/support a personal reactivation/restructuring after a long period of stagnation. LC has a serious, deep vibe. There is a "witnessing" element here, I feel seen and guided but not specifically lead. Self empowerment steadied and bolstered with Divine help.

I have found all powders to be subtle but long acting. I use LC powder mostly to dress candles and sprinkle under/blow over altars and very occasionally in my hair or shoes.

Helps me rally and face what might otherwise be overwhelming. Makes it a breeze to comprehend and coalesce tendrils of higher ideas and possibilities than nerves (which cannot stand up to LC) can make otherwise seem reasonable into workable (and winning!) plans to conquer whatever I face.
