I normally like using my Asclepius salve but have been leaning towards using this during the harsh winters as it has made my skin feel soooo smooth. I use this after I shower and it helps calm any skin inflammation I’ve had. Also makes me feel so pretty <3 Also the scent is so calming and grounding, love love love
I really like the VAD series overall but was late to appreciate this salve. I mostly used it as a softer, gentler version of the oil when layering VAD with other series or when I didn’t feel up for absolutely full-on chatty social vibes. But I rubbed it on my aching joints today before a walk with a friend and the aches just - receded. They didn’t go away entirely, but I felt a kind of lightness in my bones where I’d applied the salve, instead of the heaviness that aches usually feel. It also layers wonderfully with other series, tempering and lifting “heavier” energies and adding a dose of balanced lightness. Chatty and social - I never feel awkward or out of place while wearing VAD, and the salve is no exception. This will be a repurchase.
My absolute fav! This salve smells soft and sweet without being overpowering and it melts into the skin. Any anxious states are instantly neutralized and I find myself breathing slower and deeper. It's great for nighttime use but also for daytime use when feeling stressed out.
Was lucky enough to get this as a free gift with my first-ever S+S purchase last fall and what a luxury! Introduced me to salves and it's a great one. It smells like doing laundry in the forest, a really nice way to unwind, and I've loved rubbing it on my neck and shoulders. Brought me one of my first "WAIT, WHAT??" experiences with S+S materia last winter when I was alone on a Friday night in my hometown, absolutely desperate for good company after that Libra eclipse wreaked havoc on my social life. I massaged myself with a bit of this before driving a little, just looking for someone to talk to, and whaddaya know— I pulled up to a bar I'd only been in once before briefly and a sweet guy I'd had a crush on in middle school popped up with his arms open, shouting in my direction. He was sitting with a girl I'd gone to high school with and seen around, and I asked if they didn't mind me joining them, and they gave me such a bright-eyed, immediate yes. It ended up being a really wonderful night, the kind where you link up with people and they invite you to something else right away. I would have a couple more great nights with them, and even met more people through them, and that happenstance unquestionably helped me get through a really, really hard moment in my life with some pleasure and camaraderie I'd been desperate for before. I haven't always gotten that from VAD, honestly (maybe just that South Node or my unaspected Moon, but it's not without its teeth), but I am always gonna be grateful for that night and how it reminded this lil scarcity girl that sometimes pleasant surprises really do happen.
Salves are my absolute favorite, and Aerial Delight is…a delight! Ot makes me want to go relax in my garden, smell and feel the breeze with my whole being, and talk to my plants, which is precisely what I do when under the influence of this lovely, golden green Goddess energy.
The smell of this Salve is lovely beyond words, and the stress relief it brings is nothing short of incredible.
Salve provides soothing repair for challenging Libra transits over my stellium there. Used for relaxation before, now to get back to centre when my attention goes way off.
oooookay but dare I say she is my favourite. This was a free gift from S+ (I love you) and I wasn't expecting to love it this much. A breath of fresh air, my shoulders relax and I feel at ease. Somehow perfect for relaxation alone AND socialising. Instant relief, smells so uplifting. As a natal Venus in Taurus person, I have struggled to understand Libra (why don't you want to get naked and roll around in mud cake?). But I get her now, it's the cooling mental ease of refinement. An absolute blessing for my Libra 5th house year, my relationship with Venus and my Saturn return. Sooo many life-giving realistions about Saturn's exaltation in Libra too. Such a blessing. Thank you!
This is *very* relaxing, especially when I use it with Asclepius - BUT, my one cat is obsessed with any materia from this series. If I leave it out beside my bed she gets pretty social and chatty. It is cute, but I can't use it or accidentally leave the materia out without being sure to budget extra cat snuggle time into my sleep schedule.
I'm highly sensitive and introverted. I first received the VAD salve as part of a Sphere + Sundry promotion, when it was discovered they had a lot of extra salve! I'm not sure I would have bought it for myself at the time, given that, as an introvert, I'm not *looking* for something to make me more chatty. But wow, I love this salve. Its energy is so soothing. Sometimes even introverts have to be social! And this salve is just a gentle, loving boost. I slathered myself in it when I was hosting my three year old's birthday party, and it really helped me get through having to be social with a crowd (something I honestly dread.) I also applied it to my body one afternoon and then randomly found myself calling a family member I was probably overdue to connect with. I really appreciate the support of this salve.

The Goat’s Phalanges
Available, Saturn in Capricorn, Talismanic PerfumesFirst of all the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a Golden Race of mortal men who lived in the time of Kronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. When they died, it was as though they were overcome with sleep, and they had all good things; for the fruitful earth unforced bare them fruit abundantly and without stint. They dwelt in ease and peace upon their lands with many good things, rich in flocks and loved by the blessed gods.
When one thinks of Saturn, joy is usually not the first word that comes to mind, but there is joy there: it is the joy of an untroubled heart and a mind in balance, the joy found in the serenity that existed in the Time Before Time.
The Goat’s Phalanges reaches back into the age of Titans. It is an oil of bringing ideas into form and an oil of grounding and guidance both from the earth itself and from primal forces beyond our comprehension. It is an oil that invokes a very specific nature of inner peace: the peace that came from a time before conflict existed. This oil honors Kronos of Elysium, King of the Golden Age.

SALE!

airy Venus for the win!! this salve is absolutely luscious while being light enough for daily use. it feels insulating, but in the “is this really worth worrying about?” sense. recalibration of priorities, with emphasis on what matters most! i find myself reapplying on days when i need more beauty/ease – truly a lifesaving offering
I find the salves are the best way for me to get the feel of a series, and if available are usually the first thing I order. My first experience of this salve was paired with Asclepius and honestly, the result was a memorable relaxation high. Impressively so. I rub the salves in as directed, but none as much as this one. I want to keep massaging this in, every single time I use it. It is so silky smooth. True in that I don’t notice as much pain relief as other salves, however the energetic tension that is released is just as beneficial as pain relief. As far as scent, softly sweet (white?) floral but not too strong (for any scent sensitives out there). Very lovely to experience.
This salve was brought to me by my first ever S+S synchronicity “oopsie”. I ordered Salve of the Immortal Heart, but VAD salve was shipped instead, and the S+S team were generous enough to let me keep it, which I am grateful for every day. This has become probably my most used materia (along with Jup in Sag) and has helped me welcome pleasure and joy back into my life, and I’m so grateful that Venus decided I needed some of this aspect of her in my life, along with the more boundary-embracing Eirene. The trine to my natal Gemini Venus and opposition to my Aries sun makes for beautifully clear and smooth social interactions, as well as lots of laughter. Truly a joyful pot of magic!
This series is great for use in intimate settings. I was born with a natal Venus applying to an out of sect domicile Saturn and under the beams of a Saturn-ruled Sun. This series has taught me so much about myself, intimacy and letting myself just be in love for its own sake. This is a beautiful series and such a gift. I highly recommend this salve as a way to relax and embrace love, especially if you struggle with letting that happen as I often do.
This is an absolutely beautiful salve. I immediately ordered another one so I can slather with impunity. It is “light” enough for everyday (in contrast to the Empress salve) yet with a transformative depth. It smells enchantingly good. When I first encountered Venus in Libra materia I was taken aback at how “chill” it is- now it instructs my Aries Venus self on a whole other way of being. Venus materia is potent, and based on repeated experiences I think it can affect estrogen/progesterone in certain cases, which could be fantastic if used with intention. (Thinking about Kaitlin’s note on the face oil re: the intelligence of Venus guiding effects, what is needed, etc.)
The scent is superb, intoxicatingly floral and finishes to a powdery aroma reminiscent of somebody elegant having just walked by. It evokes the desire to connect and relate and is more cerebral in that some of the other salves are lovely and hypnotic but it also completely avoids any neurosis tendencies – a balanced, calm, benevolent state of mind envelops you. This materia came just in time for some particularly tense interpersonal interactions and smoothed things over beautifully. Diplomacy and social ease made manifest. So pleased and grateful for another amazing offering from S+S.
