I’ve had this subset oil for a long time now and have used it sparingly until some time around the end of 2024 — the very end of 2024, like December. I was happy to get this for the application for meditation. And it is a fabulous meditation aid. It might be my favorite materia in the entire catalogue for pairing with traditional meditation. But more importantly, I have leaned heavily on this to reduce my stress around work and feeling unable to “shed” the workday/corporate bullshnit as I’m VERY PRONE TO CYCLES OF RUMINATION THAT GO NOWHERE GOOD. With this materia, I anoint myself and I just stop giving a hoot. I don’t get careless, I simply let go of the things that don’t actually matter, I let go of the things that are stressing me to no productive end.

The scent is medicinal and comforting, like an understanding hug from mom when you're sick. As it dries down it becomes more incensey and deep, majestic and sacred feeling. It's a big helpful presence for sure, like burying yourself in warm thick fur to survive the coming deep freeze, secure in the knowledge you will survive. I absolutely love this, which I was not prepared for being a Saturn series and all. When nights are long and dark and all hope seems lost Mammoth is a most wonderful friend.

For when you don’t know what’s going on and you need to keep your head in the game while giving zero fcks.
It’s uplifting in the sense that it helps you not get dragged down by the situation at hand.
A clear head makes everything better and allows you to find solutions without being overly emotional or too invested in the particular outcome.
We’ll get through it (maybe using our tusks and all!) and it’ll be ok, kinda vibe.

I just received the powder on the 24th, and almost immediately, before engaging intimately, noticed an uptick in focus and my ability to gather myself x anything related to life admin-ing. It’s also meant *actually* doing/tackling it. One task at a time, with presence, clarity and care. I have suffered from extreme fatigue and health issues in recent years that have severely hindered my ability to executively function. In recent days, Venus x Saturn syncs have felt potent and repetitive, nudging me back towards this energy. Today, for the first time, I decided to fully engage and within the hour: (1) a picture of the Ama Dablam snowy mountains appeared randomly on my computer. When I looked further into it, it read: “Ama Dablam means "mother's necklace"; the long ridges on each side like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier thought of as the dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women.” And (2) moments later, a participant in an online gathering I was in, centered on Divine Discipline, shared her experience and left us with these *exact* parting words: “Prepared. Preserved. Protected.” Such a beautiful and powerful introduction to this energy. A new favorite. Tremendous, tremendous gratitude your way.

The oil is incredibly friendly, steady and wise. I feel like I am tapping into ancient knowledge, and it’s very much alive…. Do not sit this one out, trust me. I have Saturn in its fall, in the 8th AND Cap Moon. This oil feels like remediation; when you understand, the healing has begun.

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.
