I initially got this after reading in the client community that people with ASD and ADHD were finding it really helpful with things like boundaries and focus. I have ADHD and find that this boosts the effect of my meds, and takes up a lot of the slack on days I can't take my meds.

And now it so happens that I am in a situation where I need to take extra protective measures for myself and my home. Deneb Algedi to the rescue! It makes me feel so much more safe and confident.

I also second the reviewer who said it tastes like a single malt scotch--yummy!

Ok. I originally picked this up because someone in the client community mentioned that you can add tincture to bluing jars since, at the time, bluing was out of stock. It works! If you're me, and depending on how much terrible stuff is happening, you need to refresh your jars more regularly than if you were using S+S bluing, but it's a good workaround.

I wasn't planning on using this tincture internally, but I started to after an *incident* at my home a few weeks ago. It's really effective at instilling a sense of calm and safety. Things are still trash but at least I no longer feel like my tether is fraying.

I used up my original version of Deneb Algedi - which was wonderful! - but I think I prefer this version with the added bonus of Jupiter. I find the addition of our big gas giant to soothe fears and anxieties better and add some levity. It's a nice safety blanket on days I know will be difficult.

I love how this series makes me feel. I struggle with feeling safe in the world, as well as with a lot of day-to-day "adulting" type things when my mental health is under strain. While it doesn't have the same anxiety reducing & confidence boosting effect as the most recent Regulus series, I find that this helps me feel more safe and generally "together" (which usually results in less anxiety. Frankly, I love how this stuff feels! The vibe is very cooling and stabilizing (great for my moderately choleric disposition). It DEFINITELY helps with setting boundaries, saying more (while speaking less), and (at least for me) strengthening the connection with one's personal integrity so as to better act on it.

I've layered it with Mercury in Gemini to good effect: it helped counteract the chattiness brought on by Mercury and helped channel some of the zoomy energy in a productive direction.

Excellent for annotating/reinforcing borders outside and removing fears and obtaining peace of mind when taken inside.

I started taking this tincture during a time when I was having a lot of stuff upsetting my energy field especially during sleep. It wasn’t the easiest of materia to take internally but it helped when dealing with that + setting boundaries with a difficult roommate. I also love putting this in a glass of water underneath my bed before bed - keeps unwanted energies away. I’ve really grown to love DA materia and am really grateful for its strong protective power.

I'm OBSESSED with Deneb upon discovering S+S. Then I found out I have Deneb conjuncts my Aquarius Moon (sextile Uranus). Divine Comedy!

This tincture is different than the oil and perfumes. I actually contemplated going to LAW SCHOOL?? My new favorite social media scroll is LEGAL TIK TOKS? I want to know what's going on in the government, how it works, the theory of law, the nuances of law? I have S+S to thank for allowing me to discover a part of myself that was overshadowed by my fire stellium. I feel right at home.

This tincture helped me set some strong boundaries with some people in my life who were no longer acting in my best interest. I didn’t know just how much I needed Deneb’s firm and fair presence in my life. I’m grateful for this series.

I initially got this tincture mainly as an add-on to my bathing rituals and to add extra protection to my home with my wash water – and wow. I honestly didn't expect to love this series as much as I do now. I do have my chart ruler in a very wide conjunction with Deneb Elgedi (about an 8 degree orb) so I thought its influence would be negligible. I was sorely (and happily) mistaken. This series is sooo incredibly comforting and nourishing in a way in the most subtlest of ways. I take the tincture almost daily and its helped me to be the very best (and responsible) version of myself. I find myself being responsible in the greater sense of the word but also responsible to my SELF. I take care of myself better and I lookout for my future self. As someone on the spectrum thinking linearly into the future is hard sometimes, but this Materia allows me to do that. It helps me be grounded into myself, especially hard when half my placements are in nebulous pisces. Anyways a very big fan of Deneb Elgedi!! And this tincture for helping me find my way back into and contain myself in healthy ways.

This tincture, along with other DA II materia, has proven to be a very practical and essential tool in my magical arsenal. My spouse and I have been dealing with some frustrating and unfortunate legal situations against an abusive neighbor and DA has effectively kept us protected and supported through the long winded court processes. From reasonable presiding judges to appointed legal counsel who actually give a shit, DA has helped us keep our cool, stand our ground and call in needed support as we navigate these tricky waters.
