Luna in Cancer Kolonía
Grain alcohol and Shasta water, combined with colloidal silver and consecrated during Luna in Cancer’s election. Organic essential oils responsible for its naturally derived botanical blue, and a keepsake pearl.
Over time, this Kolonía helps purify the emotional sphere, leading to healthier, better adjusted, “true(r) to form” attachment styles, putting us in touch with our most basic needs, and facilitating core intimacy. It dissolves casual energetic detritus, while simultaneously revealing hard to reach foundational issues that can impact us long into adulthood, for treatment and repair.
Working with this (and other Luna in Cancer materia) can help us become “emotionally available” again, over time, should we participate in the process and “do the work” it brings up. It also has the capacity to clarify thinking and facilitate memory.
Best practice with any Kolonía is to seal the auric body after use, since otherwise metaphorical and metaphysical raw nerves may be left exposed. This is easily achieved by using the Anointing Oil or Salve that supports your chosen aims, to address your state in the moment, or for supporting longer-term goals.
Perform the cleansing protocol as-needed, keyed to Luna’s days/ nights and hours, or those of Her ruler in your own nativity.
This can also be used as a purifying and priming wash for tools, talismans, and raw materials, to potentiate their ability to “take in” whatever else it is you’d like to add afterward.
Likewise, it prepares the vessel for mediumship, ritual work, and psychic engagement.
Turkish colognes are often sprinkled upon the hands before entering households and business establishments, providing natural sanitation and also a delightful scent. ⠀

Sphere + Sundry’s talismanic Kolonías can be used in such a way, or as Celestial Florida Waters for energetic cleansing — promoting clarity and way-opening, as life demands or before ritual. ⠀

Doing the following makes it difficult for nasties to glom on or penetrate the auric body, and establishes a clean slate which potentiates the efficacy of other materia…⠀

⠀Quick Kolonía Clearing Protocol ⠀
⠀
Sprinkle about a half teaspoon onto the palm of the hand and gently rub both together for 5-10 seconds, coating tops and bottoms. The hands can float 2 inches from the body or lightly skim it.⠀
⠀
Stand and run your palms from the crown of your head down the back of it, then start from the top again, going down the sides, the front of the face and down body, all the way to the tops of your feet. Sweep multiple times. ⠀
⠀
If you feel any areas “sticking”, continue stroking until energies disperse, and then proceed with additional downward sweeping.⠀
⠀
Continue skimming downward, running your cologned hands across every surface area, including under the arms, groin, between the legs, and rear, concluding with the bottoms of the feet by lifting them. You can “flick” the energy off if it feels right, or it will dissipate naturally, however you prefer.⠀
⠀
Take 10-30 seconds to close your eyes and integrate the cleansing, feeling the shift, and thank your chosen Power for the cleansing and protection it provided, sealing the auric body from negativity.⠀
⠀
Kolonías also serve to anoint and sanctify the hands, and can be used before performing energy work, ritual work, or any activity related to each series’ arcana – on oneself, one’s clients, or loved ones. They can be used to cleanse objects, spaces, and add oomph to spiritual baths, as well as added to floor washes, essential oil diffusers, or dishes of water kept at the bedside and entries. ⠀
⠀
Extraordinarily simple, versatile, effective, and p o t e n t .

This Kolonía is a staple for me. I work in the mental health field and it can leave me feeling very heavy. I use this Kolonía to cleanse me emotional aura and energy every morning.
I do a lot of scrying with a mirror. Wiping a mirror off with Luna in Cancer Kolona before scrying dials things up a lot! It cleanses it from previous attachments, and opens it up to a lunar influence, which is perfect for a lot of the scrying work. that I do.
I got this for my partner for his birthday because he’s diving deep into dream work and he loves it so far. He’s done cleansing on himself prior to sleeping and he’s mentioned a lot of cathartic and creative dreams.
I find the kolonias to be really accessible if I’m unsure of a series. Similar to waters, but the cleansing aspect has been very useful for me. This kolonia is probably the most versatile one I have, I find it gives me the primer I need for whatever I anoint with afterwards (and with careful consideration and attention paid to the current moon cycle). Mostly this just feels like comfort and safety for me, which is nice to be able to access.
The effects of this series are complex and multifaceted. I have been engaging with this kolonia as an energetic opener at night, as Moon transits allow. It has brought up many things in need of healing, particularly around issues of emotional and bodily comfort. Its action can best be described as illuminating those issues so that you do the work to release or transmute them. If all you need to feel comfortable is to crawl in bed then it will promote that and you will feel quite comfortable. If you have deeper, lingering issues it will intensify them so that you are forced to deal with them. It will not do the work for you. If you struggle with comfort it will make you uncomfortable so that you are forced to learn how to be comfortable. As such it is best used consciously and after you have an array of healing modalities at hand. It deepens the effects of reiki in particular. It is a tremendous ally and powerful adjunct for healing when approached with respect and the understanding that discomfort may arise. Know your limits. Watch the transits. Thank you Sphere and Sundry. Thank you Luna.
This kolonia is clearing on an energetic level and yet sensitizing at the same time, like a surprisingly effective reset button in a bottle. It is one of the main kolonias I would buy again, or buy more of, because it can bring painful, elevated emotional states down to a different and more manageable level. I then like to spray Regulus III Water on me after use of this, or use DA and Regulus products in general, to seal my auric body and refocus / redirect my energy post-Kolonia use.
For some, this Kolonia’s type of impact could feel like too much at once (akin to peeling something off a raw patch of skin, perhaps). However, I like the effect because it has a soothing quality for my very active and logical Mercurial mind. I have a “heart of a lion” situation going on in my chart where I’m extremely analytical but have a lot of feeling and deep empathy in how my mind and heart work together. I end up internalizing a lot of emotions behind my logical layers and Mercurial presentation. So anything that can temporarily slow down and soothe my emotional state is helpful for relaxing my (no doubt overworked) nervous system.
Good for easing burnout and other emotionally challenging times. I also use it as a “primer” before doing some spiritual workings with other materia.
For reference, I have Luna/Moon in Leo in the Tropical chart and a Virgo ascendant.
Luna in Cancer kolonia is analogous toward using Asclepius kolonia. If Asclepius kolonia is about healing and cleansing, LiC is also in that vein, but much more spiritiually/energetically. Helps put you in touch with your emotions (which is either a big plus, or a big minus depending on how in tune you are with your emotions). Would recommend if you’re dealing with burnout to reset to a base level. I have found pairing with Regulus 3, Exalted Sol, or Deneb Algebi materia post-kolonia use is useful to me.
I remember reading in Kaitlin’s energetic cleansing and bathing ritual writeup something about the ears being a place where energy can collect, so short on time and feeling into it, I dabbed a qtip in Luna Kolonia and swabbed my ears and did another quick aura cleanse all over with more Kolonia in my palms. It felt very thorough and somewhat made me feel buoyant too like more space had been created in addition to the space made from clearing out debris. Anointed with DA oil afterwards to seal, A+!
