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.
