Rod of Asclepius Talismans
Asclepius I, Sold OutGoldsmith Tony Mack collaborated with Sphere + Sundry during the equivalent election in his location to create a stunning set of talismanic snake bound Rods of Asclepius. They feature high grade carnelian set over viper’s tongue, frankincense, and sage, cast in silver. It just so happened that he made 13, a number he did not previously know was associated with Ophiuchus. Our goldsmith reported two weeks after the Work was done:
[pullquote]I’m starting to notice some effects from the staffs on myself. I’ve been getting up way earlier than usual with a lot of energy. Also some inflammation I’ve had for months started to disappear.[/pullquote]
Wear on your person for healing and to help transmute poison into medicine. These are helpful for preserving health and warding away disease, but can also be used by those who have an ongoing health struggle or are taking medications that produce negative side effects. These are wonderful to wear if you work in a healing profession and want to bring the Divine Physician’s blessing into the realm of your client or patient work.
Each talisman comes with a silver chain in a beautiful box hand decorated by Tony. It includes a bottle of Asclepius anointing oil, recommended times for feeding and empowering your talisman, and a prayer to Asclepius.

Bath Salt of Asclepius
Asclepius I, Sold OutAs detailed in the series description, ritual baths were one of the first steps taken to cleanse those who made pilgrimage to temples of Asclepius in pursuit of healing, and salt is a natural agent of purification in ways both physical and metaphysical.
Dead Sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, and epsom salt were combined with essential oils of frankincense, cypress, and tea tree, alongside herbs from the incense mixture, with Asclepius’ blessing.
Draw a bath and add the mixture to the water. Includes a prayer to Asclepius and suggested times for ritual potency. Fully immerse yourself, occasionally wetting the full head and hair for best results. Soak for 13 minutes or more.
The formula of this salt is highly concentrated with essential oil to make less go a longer way. Available in an eight ounce jar, enough for 2 deeply purifying baths, or add smaller amounts to many, utilizing the principle of contagion.
I’ve been using this to tap into and reexperience the care that I previously have at the hands of people who typically embody the ‘carer’ archetype in my life, even though they are faraway from me now. This has made it much easier to deal with being sick faraway from these people, and having to deal with it more independently than before. It is also an easy vessel to pray through when asking for recovery and aid in being able to bear the recovery process itself. It smells so lovely and calming, like lavender mixed in with the eucalyptus oil ointments/smelling oils used in my home country.
When the world is insane, Gentle, Bless’d Hygeia holds space for us. This is an oil for her reaching down, to hug you, to hold your hand. The gentle pat on your back that says “You can do it.”
She teaches you and those you need to take care of your brain. Where to fix, rest, and rebuild. This is a scent I feel also helps you show others where they may do the same.
With the Coronavirus activity going on, and being that my life is on the road and therefore involves a lot of travel, I have started to use this oil daily. While it of course is no replacement for all the other precautions, I do find that it feels like a layer of protection is added to my energetic field. I also find that it adds a layer of mindfulness, reminding me to be more cautious when interacting with others. The smell is also quite nice, not overpowering yet floral enough to be present and noticed.
I used this in conjunction with Skill’d to Heal Mankind. This one smells mostly like lavender, which is a soothing scent. I asked for Hygeia to provide us with the mental fortitude needed to support our loved ones as they go through a pretty scary surgery.
I ended up lighting a candle anointed with this and Skill’d. The first time was very focused. The second time wasn’t quite as focused. So post-surgery, which went well, there was a long conversation of some unfinished emotional business. And it was heavy, and it was alot, but you can’t fix things unless you know it’s a problem.
TLDR: Use both or either if you want to work on mental health and/or you already are, and really want to get some work done on that front.
Or you know, get healing you didn’t need know you needed.
From the Asclepius II release, this was the item I most looked forward to receiving. It reads as a gentle, healing offering and that is exactly my experience with it. I’ve paired this one with a Self-Love oil from a local shop as well as Heart of the Lion as a morning ritual, in an attempt to bring about the courage to be kinder to myself. Using it in this way over the past month, I definitely feel like the clouds are lifting and I will soon be ready to return to myself. The lavender of the blend is front and center when you open the bottle and in the initial wet stage, but it dissipates in the dry down leaving a sweet resinous scent you can really feel grounded in. The imagery I get is a crashing wave of lavender, revealing pure, true earth.
