Forgemaster’s Iron Palm Dit Da Jow
Sundry, Waters, Sold OutThe furnace blazes, the iron glows. Blood burns in the hammer-arm of the blacksmith. Stubborn metal becomes malleable, open to convincing arguments from the hammer and the strong hand that wields it.
Fire, iron, and blood. This is the holy trinity of Mars, as crucial for creation as it is for destruction. While many know Mars as the Warrior, the red planet is equally the Smith. In the Smith we see the constructive side of Mars, the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to shape and re-shape our lives, our bodies, ourselves.
The Smith’s alchemical action is an especially apt metaphor for the transformation of the body. The layers of effort required to re-forge the body are quintessentialy martial, and there is no exercise regimen as close to the forge as Iron Palm.
Iron Palm refers to a family of limb-training methods which strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones for both defensive and offensive purposes. Many styles also emphasize the internal side, cultivating increased qi emission capacity for both striking and healing purposes.
Though there are many variations, the training almost always consists of a daily routine of hitting progressively more resilient materials. A canvas bag of bean, then stones, then metal. Though the results are dramatic, the training process is incremental, with as much attention paid to healing and perfect recovery as to anything else.
Over the years, a great number of liniments have been created for this purpose. Generally referred to as dit da jow, they are widely available and widely used for general athletic purposes well outside of the specific practice of an Iron Palm regimen.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is one of these Iron Palm formulae, but with a Sphere + Sundry twist. This Jow was created in a fully ritual manner and at a precisely elected astrological time.
Prayers to Mars the Forgemaster were intoned to bless and empower this tincture at the outset of the operation. The operators were consecrated to the red work, and the medicine vessels adorned with magic square, seal, and sigil.
The elected time seemed a spectacularly appropriate and rare moment for this work. It was the Day and Hour of Mars, with the red planet exalted in Capricorn and on the Ascendant. This powerful, earthy Mars was further supported by a trine from an exalted Moon in Taurus, and meanwhile, Jupiter in Mars-ruled Scorpio crowned the zenith (MC). Not only was Mars strong, but Mars, the Rising, Moon, and Sun were all in Earth signs in order to ensure that the planet’s iron blessings were sufficiently rooted in the very bodily goal of this creation.
After the evocations were said, the herbal and animal ingredients were sealed in their alchemical bath for 18 months.
The result, the Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow, is not only rich with the spirit and energy of this powerful Mars election, it also possesses the excellent properties bestowed by the materia of the formulation itself.
The basis for this recipe is the Iron Palm formula of Yu Cheung (1894- 1952), one of the famed Five Tigers of Canton. His iron palm feats were famously documented in the early 1900's by photographers, and though his stone-shattering exploits are too numerous to cover here, there are entire books dedicated to his training methods. Crucially, he was known not just his power of his hands, but also their sensitivity.
This formula was designed by him to cultivate both strength and softness. Protection for the hand, energy gates, and organ systems while also maximizing sensitivity and the capacity to express qi for both healing and striking purposes. Yu Cheung’s formula is the basis for this liniment, though it has been modified in small ways for reasons of both ethics and efficacy.
This liniment is designed to unblock the qi flow, activate blood movement, relax tendons and ligaments and increase bone strength. The two types of qi this formula stimulates are wei qi or “defensive/guardian energy” and regular organ qi. This formula activates both in harmony, and is one of the many reasons it is superior to a store-bought dit da jow.
Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is formulated to facilitate the healing of bruises , tendons, sinews, and bones, and to reduce pain, strengthen blood vessels, reduce swelling, and mitigate blood stagnation. It also protects the meridians and mobilizes both protective and organ qi for health and vitality.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is, of course, perfect for an Iron Limb regimen, but has a number of other uses. Both physically and energetically, it is an ideal pre- and post- workout liniment for any martial striking practice, such as boxing and kickboxing. More broadly, it can be used to ready and fortify the muscles, tendons, and joints in preparation for any athletic activity, and to facilitate the swift healing of bruises. Magically, it is appropriate for works of fortification and the cultivation of personal power.
Bottled and a portion made available to the public on the first Tuesday after Mars returned to Capricorn in 2020, a year and a half after creation. Arrives in a glass bottle with spray top for easy application, in either a travel/ sample size of 1/2 oz for $25, or full 2 oz for $75 Note: Should not be used in areas with mucous membranes, skin rashes, open cuts, or sores. Apply a small amount, wait an hour, if no allergic reaction occurs, continue with use. External application only.
Water of Asclepius I
Waters, Sprays + Hydrosols, Sold Out, Asclepius IAs further detailed in the series description, cypress, sage, and incense cedar were blessed using the words of Thessalos, given to him in dream by Asclepius, and harvested on the Summer Solstice in the hour of Jupiter. These, along with rose of jericho, were combined in a copper still and immersed in water freshly collected from the headwaters of the Sacramento River in Mt. Shasta. A hydrosol was produced, which was later combined with essential oils of frankincense and rosemary, carnelian, and grain alcohol during the Ras Alhague election, where the water was dedicated to Asclepius and received his blessing.
One of the beautiful qualities of this formulation is that upon vigorous shaking, it turns white — a color associated with healing and purity in many magical traditions.
Sphere + Sundry is pleased with all of the offerings we produce, but the Water of Asclepius in particular is truly something special. For a thorough application, shake well and use as a body and aura spray, making sure to focus around the head, but also applying directly to the chest, palms, and feet.
You will feel instant clarity and refreshment, and it will continue helping clear your field, heart, and mind over the next many hours. Apply before bed to invite healing sleep and potential dream visitations from gods and spirits. Spray in spaces in need of healing, purification, and renewal, especially that carry a negative charge or presence you wish to dispel. Produces emotional, mental, and physical clarity that deepens with continued use. As a regular practice, consider full body applications after showering.
A new edition of the Asclepius series was released on March 21st. Remaining offerings from Asclepius I are available at a discount while supplies last.
Available in a half ounce spray for $26 $19 or a two ounce spray for $52 $39.
I bought this to clear and protect my house and have found it very effective. A little goes a long way! I gave it to a friend who was having problems with an ex and it worked a trick!
I bought this on a whim awhile ago & was hesitant to work with it because of the cop warning in the description but after a bad couple seasons of Roomate turmoil & trauma in my giant old super haunted house I started making the jars. things have largely calmed down with the big threats to stability and all the social madness and also I can really feel when theyre blown, like often ill feel something weird or different & check & the jars are blown. must be working. im about to get a bigger bottle.
Powerful. Effective. Pragmatic.
The first time I used this offering was just a couple drops, to great effect. Looking forward to the next DA series. Very grateful for S+
Thank you, Kaitlin.
The Talismanic Bluing has been amazing. I carry it with me when i am going into environments that are potentially challenging or draining. Generally in the work space. Its been a great asset. It shows through its various formations what its protecting me from and what i also might be harbouring. The bluing acts as a strange mirror which is super helpful in diffusing and navigating tricky situations. I feel like i have my best defences on when i have it with me.
Thank you : )
While I was initially hesitant to use DA, I have come to love and appreciate it over the past few weeks. Within a day of making my first bluing bottles, they contained a curse and I have the photos to prove the intense ‘lurk’ DA contained! I’m astounded and also very grateful to have DA. The feeling of safety it provides is second to none and I’m grateful for being drawn into developing more of a relationship (or at least a growing understanding of Saturn). Wards up and DA at the helm!
Without going into too much detail, I had to call the police to my property. I had recently ritually used this bluing to protect the property. My interaction with the police did not start well and I told them to get out when they would not/could not help me. However they stayed, apologised and ended up helping in ways they did not have to and in ways that have helped me enormously. I am sure this happened as a result of this Deneb Albedi bluing talisman.
This stuff is the bomb dot com! I’ve put small bottles of it on the corners of my property, and carry one in my purse. There’s also one in my car’s glove compartment, on my altar, and on my desk. A little goes a long way. So far I feel like the boundaries have been well maintained.
Deneb Algedi bluing has been nothing short of amazing physical and energetic boundary protection. Absolutely grateful for this powerful offering. It is no joke how well this has worked!
Have to give this some public love for how nicely it plays with Florida Water. Boom! Watch out problems, Officer Algedi is on the scene!
I hadn’t used this tincture in a while until it occurred to me from reading the website that I could use the Bluing in the bath.
In any case, I had a ritual bath last night with some of this and the last of my Deneb Algedi bath salts in the water. I then received detailed news at work today that was directly related to one of two main reasons I have been working with Deneb Algedi. The uncanny timing and nature of the news left me feeling better informed, hopeful, and secure about the next several months. I may be facing some other, yet-to-be-revealed outcomes, but I now know something critical that I didn’t know before.
I’m thankful to Deneb Algedi and this line of products, and will certainly continue using the Bluing in the bath. I’ve found ritual baths to be an effective way to work with this line of products recently.
One of my absolute favorite items from S+S (oh who am I kidding- they’re all my favorites, but seriously, this stuff is awesome!)
This stuff really packs a punch. I’ve used it in baths, on floors, and diluted in water glasses around the home for protection. It covers everything from protection to cleansing to promoting Right Action to wealth generation (usually by promoting responsibility and discipline. 10/10. Will 100% order more when I run out.
This talismanic bluing is very multi-purpose. Not just for home protection, carrying about your individual, but also for boundary enforcement. I have had it in my office and it has helped with any number of difficult conversations. 10/10, would recommend.
We lost a number of bicycles from our apartment balcony and it has been annoying and doesn’t feel safe. But upon placing four bottles 0f DA talismanic bluing diluted in water on all four corners of our apartment and saying the petition, there had been no theft ever since . I feel we are protected, res ipsa loquitur. Thank you, Kaitlin!
I’ve been using the bluing in various ways. I carry a 5/8 dram glass bottle of it, slightly diluted with holy water, & mixed with a teensy bit of Ancestral Empowerment powder, in my pocket when I go to work or when I’m out and about. A little prayer to the Star and to my ancestors, and I feel very protected. I also found a fillable glass Christmas ornament and filled it with diluted bluing. It’s hanging from the ceiling in a central location in my home–acts as a protective beacon. Love this stuff!
A few months ago, I made a relatively involved Daneb Algedi petition on my apartment building, the main part of which was burying bottles of the bluing around the property. I oddly didn’t notice the effects for a while until one day I noticed how quiet the building had become.
I then went back to inspect things. The lock on the back alley door (which was broken for over a year) was fixed. There was a significant down tick in street noise. My downstairs college student neighbors were obeying noise curfew. Dogs no longer wanted to pee in front of the building. My building owners are now extremely curteous. And most significantly, I noticed a major uptick in the potency of my other magical workings. When employed correctly, this bluing is a powerful weapon of defense and boundary setting.
To me, DA is a base layer of stability and protection, keeping the evil eye at bay and preemptively steadying the storm and wobbles of this year of which I am writing this review 2020. Use as directed in the description, it’s terrific
Deneb Algedi talismanic bluing and powder really helped us in a very difficult and potentially devastating situation. My daughter and a group of her classmates in college were accused of plagiarism while working on a project. The investigation was launched by an independent integrity committee and, if found guilty, she would fail the class and this incident would go into her personal records. She was in a great deal of distress as she had not done anything wrong. I already had a blue chalcedony perfume vial pendant filled with the bluing that I love to wear when boundaries need to be reinforced. I petitioned Deneb Algedi wearing this pendant and burned a candle with Deneb Algedi powder, asking for my daughter to be found innocent. Within a week, she received a “not guilty” verdict clearing her of all accusations. Thank you so much, Kaitlin, for such a powerful ally! I don’t even know how I used to live without your talismanic materia. It’s a real treasure!
