Luna in Cancer Steep + Smoke

As with my other steep & smokes, I drink this as a tea. I've used it once to help facilitate hedgecrossing/journey work, with excellent results; I was surprised afterwards at how smooth the journeying was, and at how much I *wasn't* held back by second-guessing myself. I'm somewhat new to hedgecrossing work, but this time, the images and experiences flowed smoothly with little to no resistance. Writing this review is reminding me how much I want to try it again!

This steep and smoke is one of my favorites. I love the flavor profile - so gentle and soothing to me - and it feels so right to attune to Luna in Cancer through a delicious water. This is perhaps my favorite Luna in Cancer offering, and personally I think it's one of the more gentle, less-sensitizing forms if you are nervous about the potency of this series.

I've been using this blend as an herbal bath tea and it is a marvelous thing. To feel fully immersed in my body, as one who generally feels like a "temporarily embarrassed" discarnate, and happy about it; to feel comfortable and warm in it; to be nourished and find easy rest as one who is deeply, deeply stressed. These baths are also incredible for trancing out and dissolving into water. I love it. Fastest used-up materia ever.

I have had this tin for a while and I’ve honestly hesitated only because the scent of the other LIC materia can be a bit much for me as someone highly sensitive to smell. Not to worry! This steep n smoke doesn’t taste how the other items smell and the effects are soooo soothing while simultaneously deepening one’s capacity for intense emotions. This will be my go-to for working with LIC from now on.

Steep and smokes are some of my favourite materia, and this one is no exception. I have luna in cancer natally so haven't found any adverse reactions to any of the materia thankfully. This S&S is so delicious and fills me with ease - my cancer hubby always seems to come snuggle up whenever I've partaken of it too - Hes just drawn to the energy. I partake in multiple ways, in my pipe, as a tea, dressing candles, burning with incense, and as a floor wash it can't be beat esp when mixed with another materia depending on what is being aimed for. My personal favorites for a floor wash is CK, Venus with LiC, MiG would be too much energy I think and no one would ever sleep! Thank you Kait for this fantastic offering!

Im a first house cancer moon in cancer. Its strange, my emotions become distant or 3rd person and I am able to dissect how I feel about things, or if I actually feel those things at all. Its deeply introspective and amazing for a nice smoke while contemplating life and feeling out the future!

With a touch of honey, this is so delicious. I was very concerned about the effects on my mind, given I have some health concerns outlined in the write up for this series. But every other offering in this series calls to me and I have had great success with it. I am writing this as I am experiencing the effects. I feel so incredibly connected to the things around me, and I can understand how destabilizing this *COULD* be. I however am feeling something profound — as though I am meditating, but I’m not. I’m on my phone typing this out. But I feel like I’m meditating, I feel in prayer, I feel devotion and a connection to the greater whole of life. I am feeling grateful. Definitely one of the best steep & smokes, and I look forward to testing out layering this one with other series.

I primarily smoke this blended 50/50 with some MJ as the first step of trance work and I have yet to find a combination that works so intensely and so effectively to get me into the astral. This is NOT for the beginner but as someone who can't always reliably access this altered state at will, it is so powerful to have such an effective hack for when the stars are willing but the spirit not so much. I have also drank it as tea, and find the effects are surprisingly different. I don't get nearly as heady a sensation but my body relaxes almost immediately after the first sip. I'll have a cup when my brain is especially loud before bed and it's like my mind just gets turned off but in a gentle instead of scary way and I sleep much more deeply as a result.

I use LiC in conjunciton with other steep & smokes to amplify their effects. I don't need much at all, just a scant 1/8th of a teaspoon. I usually layer it with a blend of DAII and Within the Sky at night to help me sleep. The addition of Moon-Moon means I need to be ready to actually go to bed or I will just zonk out fully dressed, working on my laptop, desperately trying to do data entry as I slip out of consciousness.

I use this s&s sparingly and carefully layered since I have bipolar disorder. As much as I love the Moon, I am *very* careful calling on this channel to her energy. It's a doozy.

Love this tea. It tastes and feels life-giving. Started first using before sleep for dreams aid - this Luna election makes a beautiful trine on my Asc+Jupiter in Scorpio. It also has a nice pleasant cooling effect - I tend to run hot during sleep. Most recently, I was experimenting with translating my feeling or visuals to other people with great success. Just make sure you are not in pain when connecting. I had muscle cramps once and was describing them to my husband while drinking this tea. 5 Min later, he reported he felt the same muscle cramps and it must be some crazy virus. Then as my muscle pain subsided, so did his...
Favorite layering - Venus in PII, Fomalhaut, and Ocean Butter (making this heavenly water trine in my chart feels as good as it gets).
