It's been tough since my kitchen ceiling gave up the ghost. Yet my own spirits have risen in months of home insurance bureaucracy, chill musicians moonlighting as a building repair team, discovering the versatility of a 1980s slow cooker to prep meals in my living room.
I've long sensed my house likes me. For many years it was used as social housing and the place - like those it was home for - suffered neglect. Moving in, I brought my own traumas with me.
It takes more than a lick of paint to remove pain's taint. I wanted to honor my home, and this amazing scent has been one of my gifts to us. I put some on various surfaces, and felt the glow of apprecistion, and welcome.
Last night I added some drops to a beautiful glass, one of a pair that insisted on being brought home. New-to-me furniture too, stunning handmade wood at a bargain price, glass happy on it, allegrd bedside cabinet now an altar.
I’m very pleased with how practical and supportive this oil has been for my home and family.
So far I’ve used it to anoint the front door, several protective talismans and in a room spray. The most noticeable result has been that neither my husband nor I experience nightmares since using it in our bedroom! I would also highly recommend using Throne of the House after cleansing/clearing; I can feel the difference since employing it, almost as if it’s standing guard over our space.
The Throne of the House BPAL used to stay in a box with my other DAII materia but has perpetually lived on a cabinet close to the front door for the last 2 years where it feels like it belongs. The scent reminds me of fancier, more complex dinner mints but not too sweet or spicy on the spectrum.
As opposed to wearing on your person, I recommend adding to room sprays or diffusers to help bring that safety and security within the space. I have also put dabs on cotton balls and placed in the glove compartments of my / my partner's cars. We've had a number of car break-ins in our neighborhood here and there over the years but so far so good for our vehicles since using.
Would highly recommend snagging this BPAL as support.
I really love this perfume creation, and it has a very tangible energy to it. I like to apply it to selenite crystal bars I keep above the doorways in my house. I cleanse them on regular basis in water with salt and fresh rosemary, then fumigate them in smoke from dry rosemary and as a finishing touch, I apply a few drops of The Throne of The House and spread them with my fingers on the selenite bar before putting it back on the doorway frames. It does set the household boundaries very nicely so that the threshold is not crossed by any unwanted attachments.
This is my first BPAL and let me tell you Throne of the House does not disappoint. The smell, amazing and I love how it lingers all day. I might even make this my daily perfume for the time being. I feel cocooned and protected. I also feel I can do anything! It gives me confidence and authority. I’ll be buying another bottle soon.
I use this whenever I'm feeling ungrounded, attacked, attached to, uneasy, targeted, and under and/or susceptible to unwanted influence. I've also used it to protect my home, a hotel room, myself before I go out, and just to huff cause it smelled so good. It's worked for me by dabbing on myself like I would perfume and diluting it as well as I can in water that's poured onto a wide floor mop. I tried dropping it into a spray bottle of water and spraying it in corners of the house or around myself when I felt I needed it, but this was not detectably effective. It's keeps out what I feel are beings and thought forms that are meddlesome. It was not as effective at keeping grouchy ancestors and inter-dimensional aliens out. I anointed my hands and warded all reflective surfaces in my home, and it worked for that too. I will say that it doesn't smell as good as it did during the first month or two I had it. I store it in a colored tupperware with Praesidium, so maybe that was it?
I bought this BPAL because we had trouble with our upstairs neighbours moving furnitures and shouting randomly in the middle of the night. We have contacted the management and tried to talk to them with no luck. Here comes the Thone of the House. I've applied it once on my main door and on the windows and since then the noise stopped. I found out that they moved out shortly after I've first used the BPAL and the property has been vacant ever since.
This was one of the first BPALs I bought and continues to be my most used for protecting barriers. I've mixed some with some perfumer alcohol and regularly spray my home with it or myself when going out. I had a stalkery situation and ended up spraying my keys with it and minutes later found out my personal information was being sold online, and that's how the other person was able to find me. The protective power of DA really kicked in and I was able to then get my information removed.
This is the first BPAL I've purchased. I'm not a fan of perfumes as I'm autistic and I have to be very careful with smells as they can overwhelm me and provoke a full body reaction - I have to get away. However, I was drawn to this as I've had such great result with other DA materia and I'm so glad I took the plunge. Although the scent is strong - too strong for me to wear on my skin - that first breathing in of it's exquisite scent was something I'll never forget. It enfolds. Having read reviews from other folks, I've used it on doors and window frames as well as the bedstead to bring calm and protection.
I received this as a gift from a friend to support protection work. I've used this on items related to a new home and on my body with equal success. I'm sensitive to fragrance, and while this has a strong scent I find it pleasant. The effect feels like a glowing, empowering forcefield.
This perfume, like so much of my materia, came to me mysteriously and at precisely the moment it was most needed. I added it to my wards and the effect was instant and very noticeable. It feels like a force field added to the "electric fence" of my wards. Also very nice to wear on the person when an added payer of protection + sovereignty is needed.
Late comer to the Throne of the House. Instant love. The scent is not overpowering, like many other BPALS. It is completely mysterious in a good way that is hard to describe, and I can’t get enough of it. I feel more secure and in control of my own life. It did bring peace into a seemingly difficult impossible situstion. It is now in everyday use, and that is saying a lot.
I bought this specifically to make peace in my yard with noisy and angry neighbours, however, since I've had this I haven't had the opportunity to use it! Which I call a resounding success. In the meantime however, I did use Throne of rhe Home to successfully remove a copyright strike on the fair use within anl video of mine, so yet another win for the Goat's tail!
It’s amazing how this completely shifted the energy in my home with a disrespectful roomate. out of nowhere they were kind, communicative, and stayed out of my way. 100% recommend to be senior of your space.
This is a core part of my home protection regime. It smells like a cross between high church incense and mulled wine. I find it lovely but my husband finds it overpowering, so I mainly apply it to the outside of the house.
I've worked with plenty of DA materia, but none as embodied as this. The uniquely spiced scent is the cherry a top the subtle yet profound effects of application. Acquired during times of high turbulence, Throne of the House was my rock in the midst of massive residential and life transitions. Finding a calm, decisive demeanor in the face the challenges that come of chartering trecherous new territory, has been a greater asset than there are words for.
I have used The Throne of the House to anoint thresholds and doorways in my home. I also used it in a protection jar that sits in the front corner of my house. The scent is powerful and grounding - a truly magic oil to protect one's home.
This is a warm, spicy scent that feels like a quiet family evening gathered at the hearth. I like to annoint a candle with this oil and burn it on my mantle while I'm doing cleaning and home maintenance - it helps me find the sacred in the mundane.
This oil smells incredibly rich and spicy, I love it. I gave it to my partner to work on a neighbor issue—within days of warding with it, the neighbor completely changed their rude behavior! Amazing.
My young family and I made a big international move this year, and we needed to find a great apartment quickly in a major European city (that is known for having a horrorshow for a housing market). I used Throne of the House to make a series of sigils aimed at the situation, when meeting with agents and landlords, and in protecting the house we found. We found our place within one week, with a great landlord, with a better deal than we hoped for, and with all the things we need. The place matches my manifestation targets for it almost perfectly and when we moved in, I used the Throne of the House to help us settle in.
I love this stuff! It smells incredible (I even get compliments from visitors) and it just makes my home feel so cozy. I can't even describe it. I feel like my home is hugging me. Certainly haven't had any issues with neighbors or safety or anything, so hopefully this has been supportive in that respect as well.
I don't discriminate on BPALs on their fragrances. Some scents I LOVE and others are not my most favorite- but to me ultimately ever since I bought them they DELIVER results. They are a small, affordable and mighty way to interact with S+ series. Throne of the House is a BPAL I use to protect many "houses." The House of the body, my 8th House, my father's literal house and property to name a few. The throne is a place where you are in control and you make the decisions. To me that's what this BPAL symbolizes. It symbolizes sitting on your THRONE- whatever that looks like for you, being protected, in control and ruling judiciously and with right discernment. I also add sometimes to sugar scrubs I make and it is delightful that the BPALs are already scented!
The scent of The Throne of the House is spicy and warm. It's like a hot toddy next to a fireplace on a cold snowy night. It's SO delicious. I'm hoping to move to a larger apartment at some point this year, I'm utilizing this bpal to bless my current hope, seek protection, and for working with finding a new home. I'm really happy with how it's working for me thus far.
New neighbors moved in shortly before this arrived. They draw an aggressive, intimidating, and uncommon quality of person to the little doorsteps we share. After an encounter that left me feeling targeted, in addition to the packages beginning to disappear for the first time in my four years living here, I felt the need to establish a barrier/boundary. I anointed the inside of my front door leading to a common shared space where those interactions happened, as well as the windows and window frames. The demeanor of their guests shifted, the number of visits decreased (and the loitering) and a new tenant moved in who installed one of those ring cameras. I did notice an increase in the number of blues in my drives (and I am ever-vigilant where they are and what they're doing) but they did their thing and I was left in peace.
Okay, first of all, this smells exactly like a candle. But not just any old candle: imagine wandering around a boutique and catching a whiff of something amazing, tracking it down to realize it's coming from a very lovely, very expensive candle whose price tag would normally scare you off, but now that you've found it you can't imagine not taking it home with you, so you buy it and don't light it until you're ready to feel really, *really* good and create a perfect, cozy atmosphere in your home. That's what this smells like.
Second, something very weird just happened after using this perfume for the first time: my housemates had a DIRECTV guy over early this morning to fiddle with the satellite, which happens to be located outside my bedroom window. I overslept after a late night and really wasn't in the mood to be bugged by these proceedings, and hoped the guy wouldn't have to access my bedroom for any reason (especially when I heard him puttering around in the room next to mine), so I burned some DAII incense and applied this perfume along with a light dose of Eirene oil before venturing out to make some tea. I said a few words to a housemate about a rattlesnake I'd seen in the yard, then took my tea back to my room to relax. The TV guy made quick work of the satellite issue, never even appearing in my window as I sipped my tea. My bedroom was entirely undisturbed. Then, when I went down to make breakfast later, I made a lame joke as I passed my housemate again, and was completely perplexed when he followed me into the kitchen a moment later to remark on how "pleasant" and "engaging" I was being and how he just wanted to say that he didn't know what it was, but he just really enjoyed being around me that morning (!!!!!?!) -- you have to understand that this is a guy that is NOT the sort to go around giving random compliments like this, and I was feeling quite groggy and slovenly, overdue for a shower and certainly not at my best, and here was grumpy old Paul, waxing on and on (at length!) about how likable I was. It was entirely bizarre and would have been absolutely inexplicable if I hadn't applied Throne of the House that morning! Consider me floored!!
