I was hesitant to engage with this salve because my relationship with Pisces energy is *weird* in that dreamy, untethered way (which my own fixed-heavy energy finds exhausting.) But I’m glad I did. I already find lavender a very soothing scent, so it immediately calms me on that front alone. But a more subtle, sensory relaxation unfolds within the minutes and hours after application. When I use it at bed time, I tend to have those sleeps where I wake up in the exact position I fell asleep in - no waking or tossing and turning. I’ve also found it excellent for creating a more sensuous mood and tuned-in experience with my partner. So very Venusian and most definitely exalted!

Originally I didn't use this often, but as I've become familiar with this series I've grown more comfortable and drawn to what this is showing me about myself. The salve has been *very* helpful for sleeping recently. Assists in turning off the part of my mind that is always on, helps to tune out and be ok with doing so. For me, this series is still about self worth and it does feel like I am incorporating it into myself as I use the different items from the series. Smells like lavender and something else, but doesn't trigger anything undesirable with being prone to headaches.

This salve feels sooo sensuous. I feel incredibly relaxed whenever I apply, and cocooned in comfy Venusian energy.

Great for relaxing and unwinding before going to bed.... no matter what you plan to do there. This is so sweet and cute and just snuggly when used solo, and great for the kind of dreamless sleep that makes you wake up refreshed. Applied before more romantic encounters, it is mind-blowing. The oceanic, overwhelming (in the best way) quality of Venus in her Exalted sign really show off during any kind of shared physical pleasure. Like MDMA without the come down or artificial emotions.

why? I dont know I think something about having to rub it into my skin and be in my body in that moment? also it holds the charge for a sustained period even if not as loudly & strongly as the oil or Kolonia which can be preferable in some situations. already gearing up to need another one.

This salve is fantastic, like everything from this series. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for its scent for some reason; other times I crave it. The tonka lends itself to creating a richer, sweeter, more coumarin-ized lavender. I don't pick up the frankincense, but I can sense it balancing the rest of the aromatic profile. It probably catalyzes the balancing of the energetic, physical, etc as well. To speak about this salve in specific terms is a bit difficult; I feel a sort of general/ broad energy with this one, which is good, because the excessively detailed & neurotic traits of my Virgo stellium are greatly helped by all manner of Piscean expansiveness! Instead of targeting all of the "little" things that tend to bother Virgo & become fixations, Pisces materia gets to the heart of matters, spiraling out from there with the gentle pleasure of release. I find regeneration, rejuvenation & restoration in these exalted Venusian waters, making this series one of my favorites. Truly divine magic!

Pisces is the sign of my 7th house, and whenever I use this salve, I am an open intimate book, sharing my feelings with my loved ones. I definitely enter a flow-state with this one. It helps me relax, and if I use enough, it'll help put me to sleep. It also has the effect of making me fall even more in love with my own body whenever I use it. But to be fair, this was a specific intention that I set when I decided to buy it, so I directed the affect that I wanted from this salve, and it delivers every time. I also rub this on my pelvic area during menstruation and periods of discomfort and it works like a charm :)

Another prized offering! Long-gone, but it was cherished to the fullest extent. I hope another one similar to this is released in the future, in the newer large Salve sizes. While I love the energetic/ magical/ manifest results of the EVII Salve, I enjoyed the scent of this iteration better. Was great for sleep, comfort, mild pain soothing, relaxation . . .

I came to my friend bruised & traumatized after a recent encounter with the police at a peaceful protest where they were very violent with us, throwing us on the ground, dragging us by our arms & legs, stepping on us. I had hit my head & landed weird a few times & been dragged by my arm & my arm, shoulder, neck, and back were hurting really badly, as was my hope for humanity. my friend rubbed this on my chest as well as some of the new asclepius body butter & it really brought me back into my body, made my pain subside, and healed my heart enough to keep working for justice I will be buying this asap

This salve is reliable sleep aid for me. The unwinding happens instantly but also without much strong shift in energy, quiet seamless - right after applying you just start drifting and releasing tension.
