Golden Gator Subset
Re-Labeling *SALE*, 30% OFF, Available, Saturn in Capricorn, Anointing Oils, Incense, Powders, Bath Bombs, Spell Soaps
While the goat is probably Saturn's most commonly regarded animal patron (given its association with the sign of Capricorn itself), alligators and crocodiles too are tremendously Saturnian creatures.
Primordial... ancient... cold blooded... sedentary… quiet… lurky af… and above all, lethal.
Their lifespan is typically from one to two Saturn cycles — some documented cases being far longer — further compounding their natural alliance with the Saturnian sphere.
Two Gator sub-sets were created for this series: Golden and Swamp.
Golden is the Gator in its most yang and “positive” aspect, drawing out the virtues of strength, of taking action when needed, and of point of focus. It, similarly to Golden Goat, is surprisingly active and motivating — almost to a euphoric degree; but it is also patient, imbued with the sense that “I’ve already got this”, where the Goat seeks to get and to go.
Golden Gator is the better choice for people who are already more or less where they want to be in any given situation, and seek to maintain their empowered position with minimal wasted energy. Goat is for those who are in an active phase of striving and accomplishment (or wish to be). The same person can use both sub-sets in different circumstances, of course!
Golden Gator offers fortification, empowerment, and the development of King alligator virtues: patience, conservation of effort, being chill most of the time and a killer when necessary, and enjoying a long-reign.
It draws heavily on Jupiter’s influence in the election chart to mitigate malefic fallout and provide results that fall under the banner of excellence and positivity, while staying true to Saturn’s divine arcana.
Ethically obtained gator vertebrae, frankincense, and birch, alongside 24k gold, ritually created to talismanic standard during a prime Saturn in Capricorn election, with support from the Greater Benefic.
Use Oil of Golden Gator (100% organic jojoba) to anoint yourself, talismans, or other magical items, dress candles, and the like.
Smoke bathe yourself or talismans in Golden Gator Incense, and activate sigils.
Sprinkle the Powder in shoes, your office drawers, purse, or brief case, dress candles, add to mojos, or use however magical powders for protection, empowerment, and Saturnian virtue ought be employed.
Note that the Golden varieties of Saturn in Capricorn are smaller runs than the base series (and include a number of more expensive and exotic ingredients) — hence their higher price point.
Golden Gator Oil is available in your choice of standard 1/2 oz vial ($80) or hematite gem roller ($66). Mini 5 ml vials now available ($33)!
Powders and Incense are offered in 1/2 oz cork top glass vials ($33) or very few 2 oz bulk pots ($99), all with hand stamped iconography.
Golden Gator Incense and/ or Powder is available in a choice of standard 1/2 oz vial ($33) or 2 oz bulk pot ($99).
We are beginning to roll out soaps and bath bombs for existing series! Sign up for the Waitlist to be notified when they become available.
Soaps: 3″ x 1″ disc for $48 (please view important tips here)
Please note that the loaded herbal components in the spell soaps can make them slightly “scratchy” on the skin, which can serve to exfoliate, or, use your hands to work up a lather and transfer it to whatever areas you wish to wash!
Note that Sphere + Sundry's Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.
Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to 'cut' the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.

Saturn in Capricorn Oil
Re-Labeling *SALE*, 30% OFF, Available, Saturn in Capricorn, Anointing Oils
A mélange of stone root, comfrey root, thyme, hemp seed, elder berries, black eyed peas, pu’erh tea, onyx, and various roots, stones, beans, and bones of a Saturnian nature, combined, and ritually fumigated with prayers for the Greater Malefic’s blessing, tempered in the election by Jupiter’s co-presence in Capricorn. Immersed in long-lasting, rancidity resistant 100% pure meadowfoam, alongside fossilized dinosaur bone.
A grounded and true-to-form take on Saturn, which serves as the cornerstone for the series entire. While other sub-sets of Oils, Incenses, and Powders incorporate additional ingredients, including carriers of various nature, animalia, and precious metals to achieve more specialized aims, Saturn in Capricorn’s Oil is the one to work with for educational purposes and the most direct engagement with Earth's outermost Sphere.
Formulated a la Temperance edition to mitigate overly-malefic manifestations, a touch of frankincense and ritually harvested evergreen sprigs from the altar help ensure Saturn in Capricorn's impacts are as productive and life-supporting as possible, while remaining within bounds of the Saturnian arcana.
The power and potency of talismanic magic is not always a blessing...
It is easy to crush and to curse and to create misfortune with strong Saturn elections, so for the best results (and with personal application in mind), we do recommend roping Jupiter or other benefics into the electional mix and adjusting the formulary to create something which will, for instance, reinforce boundaries and provide a sense of discipline, but not cut off all psychic air flow and trigger major depression, poverty, and hopelessness.
This Oil can be applied to the self or jewelry during once weekly Saturn devotions in Saturn’s day and hour for planetary attunements, or used to anoint objects and ritual tools of a compatible nature whenever necessary. It can be used to dress candles for Saturnian devotion, or for candle magic designed to erect boundaries and facilitate binding.
Promotes discipline, structure, practicality, responsibility, self-sufficiency, long-life, protection from the meddling of others, and a deeper understanding of Saturnian principles, including long-range planning, *productive self-sacrifice, and the merits of isolation, hard work, and complaint-less devotion.
While we have done all we are able to mediate negative manifestations and create something as “positive” as possible, Saturn is the Greater Malefic... anything truly Saturnian *will* have characteristic side effects. Remember that cosmologically speaking, all of the Spheres balance, moderate, and temper one another, and Saturn’s primary job is providing containment and context. It does not exist in a vacuum, nor (as living beings) should our engagement with it.
For this reason, we do recommend using Saturn’s materia in conjunction or rotation with other more benefic, uplifting, positive, and life-giving series. A little bit of Saturn provides structure and safe space for the “good stuff” you wish to fill yourself + your life with. Too much without the intervention and support of other influences will not render the best results, and may lead to a lack of joy, vitality, and the like. Use in moderation, and with mindful intent.
Arrives in your choice of standard 1/2 oz glass vial for $80 (with optional Dropper Cap Kit), a 10 ml onyx gem, or "flawless glide" steel roller for $65, or mini 5 ml vials for $33, each with hand stamped Saturn label.

Way Opening Dead-Drawing Elixir
30% OFF, Available, Extinction Bursts, Hermanubis II, Re-Labeling *SALE*, Waters
Blood red wine and dark spiced rum, poured over consecrated Hermanubis II herbal mix for attracting the Dead at the height of Mercury's retrograde Eclipse of the Sun, November 11th, 2019.
Mist to get the attention of the Dead, drawing them to partake of offerings or engage in communion. Acts as a veil thinner between the realms of the living and deceased, and facilitates an easier, more stable connection. Use to wake gravesites, before séances, channeling, making offerings to Ancestors, or performing Necromantic operations.
Be specific with which dead you are calling when using this spray, as it will act as a beacon for all manner of deceased. You may find it useful to create a ritual circle with natron, or form a line outside the room chosen for the operation, to keep the Dead from venturing into unintended spaces. After the operation, to mitigate hauntings and loitering souls, a formal banishment and change of clothes is recommended. Asclepius, Son of Apollo, and Sol materia are excellent for this purpose, as is the herb rosemary. If need be, conduct a full ritual cleansing.
Includes colloidal gold + copper to pay the toll for transportation to and from the Underworld.
Offered in a 1/2 oz glass container with spray top for $30, or full 2 oz for $75

This is a wonderful dreamy salve, but unlike the more…ahem…narcotic sensations I felt with Moon/Neptune spray this is dreamy in an almost productive way.
It’s scent is calming and cleansing; it makes me feel the same way I do when I have the luxury of camping out on a quiet beach. There is deep healing here, but with a depth that means business. It’s not for simply “feeling good”. I felt called to contemplate after application, and my dreams were the kind that made me think instead of taking me on a pleasant journey.
In some cases, application simply led to the deepest, most dreamless sleep and upon awakening in these cases I felt driven to engage in the kind of self care that goes beyond bubble baths and yoga classes. This salve encourages me to connect with spirit guides and allies and seems to help bridge the gap when I’m too distracted to make the connection myself…which is where the drive for meaningful self care seems to fit in.
After purchasing this and the accompanying BPAL I got real inspired to begin learning the language of my dreams, not to “interpret” but to try and become better able to communicate with a universal intelligence (that leviathan I am always attempting to get closer to somehow) through them. Let me be clear, while this is deep energy it is not scary or overwhelming. It’s just…big! But also feels friendly and eager to facilitate navigation in those liminal spaces for those brave enough to jump in.
I also saw whales and sea images EVERYWHERE after purchase!
My initial hope was that this salve would help intensify mystical dream experiences, and although that has not been the case thus far, I can’t complain about the actual experience of it: a feeling of being gently, weightlessly, warmly held, that induces a pre-sleep relaxation, which then pulls me into a very deep sleep.
The salve has a subtle warming sensation, and smells lovely as well. It has become my go-to at bedtime, on nights when I need a more profound unwinding and bone-deep rest.
Soon after acquiring this salve and the steep-and-smoke, I had an insistent, matter-of-fact inner message: you are going to find something that was lost. And within a few days, I found my beloved, costly, flattering, and “out of print” clear-peach EYEglasses I had given up on months ago. It had been a whole thing, trying in vain to locate or replace them, or at least find a pair as remotely awesome as these glasses. I was truly overjoyed. Just a funny and wonderful sync with what was written about this materia. That inner message really connected it to Fomalhaut for me, a way of saying “hello”. Looking forward to getting to know this star, and opening up my vision in many ways.
My experience with the Fomalhaut series (salve + powder) hasn’t led to any heightened sense of insight, mysticism, psychic experiences, etc. But then what we want is not always what we need.
At the moment, Fomalhaut works exclusively as a magical adaptogen for me. I recently began to understand that the limitations on my psychic/spiritual/magical experiences is due to magical burnout. I often get headaches and other pains and discomforts when using materia and other energetically charged items. My system is often overwhelmed after setting a strong intention.
Using the Fomalhaut salve every day (sometimes twice or more a day) has reduced most of these issues. I use it mostly over my heart and belly (core muscles = stability), to rebuild my foundation. Since I’ve started using the salve, I’ve been able to use greater doses of other S+S tinctures and regularly too. I can now incorporate other series that were difficult to use because I felt “depleted”, like I didn’t have enough in the tank to support the energies from the materia.
I use the Fomalhaut salve with the Cloud Kingdom salve as well. It seems to strengthen Cloud Kingdom’s ability to release deep tension and the effects of anxiety/trauma in my body.
This feels like basking in the first primordial goop before the world imagined what it would become. It’s timeless and ephemeral, but it grounds you into your body and your vessel through this lifetime, makes it feel comfortable and cozy. I find I breath much deeper, unclench my jaws and loosen my shoulders. Before sleep it works really well as a witch flight salve but with an integrative edge, which invites the messages of dreams to stay with you on waking.
Definitely works on more than just the physical body. This is an attunement. I got the large jar and I’m already half way through, will definitely restock on this one.
The salve is deeply soothing in the same way that floating in the ocean is – a sense of being cradled, weightless, in the abyss. Moreso than other series, I’ve found the salve a great aid to meditation; I think embodying the influence of this star grounds it a bit, vs the water which can be ‘floatier’ or more psychic/mind oriented.
what a delightful decadence. the scent is heavenly (I get…labdanum?? but lately the scent has me feeling transported into the deep woods under starlight. no this does not make sense given the ingredients and the astrological energetics). it absorbs quickly and is relaxing but also restorative. Fomalhaut feels unexpectedly protective. I can open up to the new, the unknown, curiosity rekindled.
