This series really makes me feel contained and connected to Saturn in a different way that I appreciate

Supports focus, persistence, and wisdom.

Mammoth subset was helping me to build my content for my TikTok. It was encouraging me to be trust in my own process and more patient. When I appointed it to myself, I felt so big than myself like I am riding on the ancient Mammoth and handling the scythe rather than riding on a dragon, you know I mean? Also, I feel this more Ying than yin.

After I posted a video on TikTok, I felt so good. Like I was sowing and reaping through dedication and hardworking.

I’ve tried Mammoth only on e, while meditating under the spectre of a nightshade truffle. It was by far, the most intese experience I’ve had with S+ materia. My first impression was that it smelled like fuel, which sort of made sense? It was early August in NYC and as I laid down, I realized I needed to wrap myself in a blanket because I was cold. From there, I wrote, “I went into the shadows…not too deep, but deep.” I did a second pass through the shadows and found myself rescuing my inner child from dark, murky water where she’d been neglected, abandoned…stuck. Me rescuing myself from being stuck in the nothingness. Possibly with an assist from the ancestors.

I got a bit of the oil to help me with the endurance needed for grad school and boy does it deliver. It's helped me deal with imposter syndrome, blow through difficult projects I've been putting off like editing my first book, and has helped me genuinely enjoy the discipline required to be a good student.

I held off from getting any SiA materia as I am very Saturn-heavy and Aquarius-heavy. Already regarded as an ice queen by plenty. I was too curious about the Mammoth subset, however, and got the powder. I was not pulled to engage it for awhile (esp. when Cap II was right there and doing its thang quite nicely), but eventually tested the waters-borne and sampled a bit. Then, a week or two later, was seeing synchronicities of the panoramic icy mountain landscape to the point I could no longer ignore, and meditated with the incense powder after using TM. That brought the most intense experience of any engagement of any S + S materia I have ever had. Reader, I was literally just holding the bottle and opening it to smell the powder. I don't know why this particular use on this particular day did this, but it was transcendent. Like visions of the personification of the character of this subset, slightly out-of-body. It has not always been like this when I've used it, but seemed to me to be the time to really connect with it in a way I can't shake. Since then, I have not had that experience but quickly connect with it in the way that I need to - like the bond of mutual reception has been earned. For my particular astrology and personality, it really helps cut through the proverbial when I need it to - I often am repulsed by emotional/social hangovers and tend to dislike too much emotion, and this takes that all away when it occurs, like a pure return to self. I really thought it would keep me too cold (emotionally), but it actually helped me recognize the wonderful aspects of that part of my personality in a way I have never connected to it before. Self-acceptance of it. I am -so very grateful- for this materia. If you are similar, or have similar astrology, do not fear the Mammoth.

I have the soap form of this series. I was not sure how it would feel to apply Saturn materia to my body, but this one feels so good. It makes me feel contained and solid, focused, yet does not detach me from my emotions (which can happen when I get into a productivity hole).

Cooler than Tortoise. Good for reaching the timeless, spacious depths; the fathomless realms of stillness and possibility. This is a very refined and very elevated Saturn. Highly recommend!

I have a rare jaw condition (that apparently is prevalent in women of color and increasing age, how fun!) -- and recently needing orthodontic work to prevent dental root resorption (definitely not fun!). I've been burning the Mammoth-subset incense + Asclepius +/- DAII incense every Saturday in the hour of Saturn to help support this 18-month long treatment. I must say this materia is very potent -- the slow-humming, low-grade depression (and just thinking of old age, now that I'm past half-way in this incarnation) is real, and I would caution everyone out there who have the slightest tendency of regressing into depression -- and I've already buffer this with Asclepious and/or DAII. Also -- actually the depression points to the amount of artifact in need of resorption (just like the bone) or integration, so they are there for a reason. However, I found this materia very grounding and producing v. potent effect of patience, perseverance, and increase pain tolerance, even in the most difficult of times (aka when I have to sit still 2-3 hours in a dental chair sans numbing meds). I understand that this subset is more "active" than the Tortoise, but I cannot help but to choose this for my jaw/ortho treatment due to the tusk. Perhaps I should write back in 18 month to see how this materia has supported me during the treatment.
