It took a few months adjusting to Mother Algol, and its depths, purging, cleansing the vessel. Then the time came for what She was preparing me for. Reclaiming my own ground. Even my voice sounds different when I set long overdue boundaries, without hesitation.
It helped me re-establish confidence in my own will, and accept that it is my right to think of my own well-being, without guilt or shame. That it is natural to do so. Never again to normalise malicious/manipulative obstruction, for any reason.
The application of Mother Algol after this change in perspective is amazingly calming and gentle. Complete presence, unwavering protection. So incredibly grateful. Beyond mere words. Honoured to know it.
Use it with care and respect - it's very powerful.
I love this materia! Despite the warnings, I have had gentle experiences so far. Algol feels like a genuine friend, someone who supports and validates the experiences of people who have experienced marginalization. As someone who has been unable to belong in dominantly white, cishetero, ableist spiritual spaces, I felt understood on a deeper level, which has been an unexpected gift.
If your heart and mind are ready to welcome The Dark Mother, by the grace of this oil you shall be blessed with her presence. As you feel Her black cape cover you with dread, bow your head and kiss Her feet for She accepts nothing short of the utmost respect. I found this oil immensely helpful when working through the intense feelings of rage and pain inflicted by men. Instead of hexing, I asked The Mother of Demons to command them and cast them out from my darkest emotional places. Her understanding is utterly cold, yet profound, as She stands unflinching in the face of the most harrowing horrors women endure. It’s healing not through compassion, but through the sheer unwillingness to bend to the will of the oppressor.
I hadn't had a chance to try this oil, but I needed some extra protection and a little "stay put" after a series of attacks and situations that tested my patience. I didn't ask for a direct attack, but I did ask for protection, and boy did I get it with its corresponding effects. Illnesses, shocks, falls, etc. I have an Algol talisman and have been working to get close to it for several months. However, when I mixed some of this oil in a tea light and LiC powder, and when I got close enough, I got a tremendous headache and nausea. I didn't get back in my office until the next day, so the "do it outside" thing is pretty proven, at least with this series.
It is so potent that you can feel it even when you hold the bottle in your hands.. Not a materia to engage with without divination.
I find Algol materia very empowering and strength giving. I rarely use this but when I do it's very intense and almost instant feelings of power and wrath and rage in the best way.
The day my parcel arrived, I got my cycle and experienced the worst PMS symptoms of my life. I had read the warnings of ordering this product but didn't want to pass up on the opportunity to grab some while it was temporarily on sale. I can sense how powerful this materia is and keep it separated from my others. The power you get from this materia is real, but will come at a cost of some sort.
There is nothing quite like this oil, and anyone would be hard-pressed to find one that will match its ferocity and depth as S+S have provided in this iteration. After opening the oil to take the scent in, it felt like I got softly electrocuted for several seconds. During my day, I caught myself being more forthright, protective, and incisive in communication at work, and had a powerful dream that same night. All from just one breath of Mother Algol's influence.
Walk in with humility and focus, and she will leave you with her cathartic power.
Words do not capture the energy of this oil. It is simply like nothing I have ever experienced. Intense void-like energy outside the existence of time, that feels alive and larger than my mind can capture. Definitely not for the unexperienced, as grounding practices and cleansing is essential to bringing oneself humbly back to earth.
When I first opened this oil, it was like being enfolded in dark wings of protection. I use this to anoint my Algol talisman and I've also used it ritually, along with the Blood of the Gorgon, in a working to protect myself and my children from my abusive ex-husband. Highly effective and highly recommended if you're in dire need as I was.
I ordered this oil a little over a year ago and wanted to get a good idea of its energy before I left a review.
I think more than anything, I want to emphasize the warnings in the writeup, because they are no joke. This is not something you engage with out of sheer curiosity. This is not something to engage with for fun.
I highly recommend doing ***A LOT*** of divination and research before deciding to work with Algol, to see if she is a good fit for you.
I’ve only used this oil a couple of times, because it is so potent and most of the time I struggle to have the bandwidth to process that much dark energy, even with Asclepius materia.
It’s definitely best used for wards that are outside the home, and as an offering.
All of that said, Algol has shown me fierce protection, and for that I am sincerely grateful. Just really take your time if you’re thinking about getting this materia.
I felt called to order this materia, even though I admit I also felt a bit uneasy about it. As you can see, S+S does divination on purchases of this product, and I myself did divination before I ordered it. I had a deep intuitive knowing that She would provide a strong protective energy to my home and life, as well as a connection to the most primordial, occult aspects of the Divine Feminine. When I received the package, Her power is palpable, and I felt a deep sense of reverence and gratitude for the energy coming into my life. I created a special altar space for Mother Algol, as it didn't feel right to just store Her somewhere random. I put a small glass house figure I had next to it, and if definitely felt like it essentially activated a kind of magical ADT system for my home. I have opened it to inhale the scent, but have not used it for anointment at this time. Someone else said in their review that you will know if this product is for you, so be sure to listen to your intuition, guides, and oracles. She's powerful!
This is a potent oil for times when other forms of protection aren't cutting it. I highly recommend working first with Deneb Algedi and/ or Antares (Badger or Emperor subsets). If those don't provide the protection you require, then take some time to divine if Algol will be a good fit for you.
It is important to develop a relationship with Algol first, through offerings but most of all, with sincere, humble prayer. Ideally, she will extend an invitation to you. I already had a relationship with Hekate, and she called to work with me further through Algol. It was confusing at first as I thought it was Medusa, but a consultation with a practitioner who specializes in working with Algol/ Medusa clarified things for me. Don't be afraid to seek clarity from humans who are knowledgable in this star's arcana.
I often take a "fuck around and find out" approach to magic and working with materia, but Algol is very different. She's not an experiment. At the same time, if she makes it clear through divination, omens, dreams, etc that she wants to work with you, there isn't a need to be afraid. Just stay humble and build a relationship with a dark goddess who can guide the power of this awesome star into your life in a good way.
This oil feels very heavy when I use it (I have anointed myself with it, too). It brings up a lot of grief, which I know needs processing. It's not comfortable but it's good. I mostly anoint candles with it and burn as an offering along with my prayer request to Hekate.
This was my first purchase, despite following you for years. Everything written was spot on! The first several days of being in my home, my cable TV just DID NOT WORK.... Nothing I did helped. I finally accepted that it was beyond my control! I have an incredible reverence for her, especially after seeing her presence (my candle flames were doing things I've never seen before) and her work. Thank you for sharing your gift......
I ordered this after eclipses in my 12th house revealed to me that people I had trusted saw me as their enemy and were spreading lies about me, which brought up a lot of pain for me. Their revealing themselves also made me aware of the dangers they presented to me and my daughter, so I called on Mother Algol and Kaali to protect us using this oil. The asteroid Kaali is conjunct my natal moon if that means anything to you, which is why I choose her to help channel Algols power safely. Just holding the bottle of this oil frankly brings a sigh of relief to both of us and I am grateful.
TBH I haven't "used" this oil yet, nor do I really intend to. I've always had a strong connection and pull toward Dark Goddess energies (and my chart ruler Mercury is exactly conjunct Algol natally). This Algol series was what first drew me to S+, and I stalked this oil for years before purchasing. If feels like we're connected, but I'm not sure how to engage with that yet. And that's ok. There is no rush. I have opened the oil and smelled it-- that alone was a powerful experience. Just inhaling I felt my whole body relax. The energy is heavy and dark, but a rich kind of darkness. I would absolutely not trifle with this energy, and it does have an edge to it, but it feels protective as well. I think this is a series where, if it's for you, you will be called to it in no uncertain terms.
This materia should not be used casually. It often causes electrical issues before it settles into your home. For me, my laptop short circuited. It is incredibly powerful.
When I finally used it, I decided to ask MA if she would work with DA to effect the changes I was looking for. This combo seemed to work well for me. The parties were held accountable for their actions without getting killed.
I have also found MA is very effective at protecting you and creating a safe space for you to work it. I like to use it to create a perimeter around my property. I highly recommend it.
As stated in my Blood of the Gorgon review - be very cautious with this materia as the Mother does not F*** around. I recommend building a relationship with her before using this powerful materia. She demands a lot of respect and attention, both of which I am thrilled to give her and this materia honours her in the best way. I have not used this in protection spells (yet?) because I have not had the need (thankfully) but knowing that she is in my sphere/realm has made all the difference. Hail the Gorgon Queen!
Highly recommend forming a relationship with Algol prior to acquiring this materia - but this oil of Mother Algol is incredibly powerful once you do have that relationship. She is comforting and protective, but can induce incredibly far-reaching events (when I first got this materia, the electricity was cut out for 5 blocks around my building).
I absolutely adore this oil, it was the first materia I purchased from sphere and sundry and it has been excellent. I find this oil very aligned with darker energies and deities- who i work with often, it feels quite comforting to me almost like coming home and is very effective especially when paired with a meditative and honoring practice for Mother Algol as well. This is amazing!
I’ll admit I was quite nervous to begin working with this oil! I moved slowly and I gave offerings. I made a home for Algol in my space and I’ve felt such relief working with this oil. I’ll admit, I can be intense and reactive—this is pet of why I proceeded so cautiously with this offering. I felt relief making contact with this oil and I will be putting in an order for more at some point. Come with respect and self knowledge. That’s my advice for working with Algol. This materia is gorgeous but i also began to connect with her before ever buying materia. If you’re unsure, just proceed slowly and divine on it for a while. It’s special and I’m so glad I purchased this
Okay so I know this series comes with a lot of warnings and I think those are all super warranted. However....I honestly *love* this oil and have had nothing but really good experiences with it. I have Algol tightly conjunct my moon and I think that has helped make this oil feel like home to me. Also the scent? I did not expect AT ALL to love the scent but I truly do. I got this mostly to support protection work but also to satisfy my own deep curiosity; Mother Algol has showed me that she really is a part of me and my experiences and has given a voice to some things I've always had, like an intense love of staring contests. Shortly after my oil arrived I noticed that two Yellowjacket nests had taken root on either side of the pathway to my front door....instead of being afraid of feeling like I needed to get rid of them they felt very protective. Then I started having Yellowjackets from those nests come to me while I was on my porch and land on my hands and my hair which is **bizarre** behavior for them because each time they were super non-aggressive and didn't sting me. I haven't had any electrical stuff with Mother Algol yet but I'm curious to see if that will happen. Also she seems to love Mugwort and I have been offering mugwort that I've grown myself. I also keep her on my main altar space which just feels right. I highly recommend this product...just make sure to approach with a lot of respect.
This oil has such an intense presence, and I love every second of it. I'm basically an adrenaline junkie but for magic stuff, and this really has a kick to it! I've been using it pretty liberally (which according to everyone I know, is a good sign that it's well worth the price lol). I love having an easy shortcut to giving my spells and servitors some extra protective measures, this stuff works wonders if you're already accustomed to more malefic energies.
Prior to acquiring Mother Algol’s oil, I had a relationship with Algol. I had been consciously working on it for at least a year. She demands a lot of respect and mindfulness. MA creates a cocoon, a safe container unlike any other. This is not for passive use, however. Other series are more suited to that. This oil has potential for malefic side effects. I did have one experience with headaches and anxiety, but hydrating and use of Asclepius materia solved that quickly. The next experience was very integrated and regenerative. She seems to love the dark, perhaps need the dark. This item is kept far away from all others, in the box it arrived in, with some offerings placed inside. Prayer goes a long way with this energy.
I love how it smells, first off. I’m not sure I get a body guard impression from this, it really is more subtle. I have a multitude of uses for this oil, it’s influence is so multifaceted.
A lot of healing and renewing potential in this protective remedy. I have Jupiter conjunct Algol (and Antares my sun) and for me this is a vial of empowerment. Medusa’s supressed story is one of survival. I have had residual contact with the oil, and this remedy is by fat the most powerful I have worked with and I agree that if Algol is absent in your chart or has contact with malefic contacts it’s important Mother Algol does not want to work with everyone. In my case, she is helping me reclaim my power and I am so grateful for the halp!!!
My cats are all weird around this oil, the 3 of them flee in different directions when I take it out. I know this oil is powerful and to be used with great caution and care, but it really does feel like home, very safe, and like a blanket of protection.
I love this oil, it just feels powerful just holding it in my hand and the jar is beautiful when the light hits it, bringing in different hues of brown. I keep this oil in a box away from the other S&S purchases and only use it when I need protection and need to set boundaries against people that wish evil or harm upon me. It has been great in removing these types of people from my life, and I feel more protected with this oil in my house!
Mother Algol is a mother, a friend, and a protector. Every now and then she makes me feel her presence, and it is comforting to know she is by my side watching over me.
