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.
