Somewhat recently I decided I was going to lean really hard into this series, just feeling like there were so many issues going on at once and I just needed something to get me back on track. I started using this tincture every day to anoint myself externally along with the salve at night.
After about a week, I uncovered a major contributing cause of the chronic pain that I have been struggling with and seeing doctors for years for. I cut out some bad habits as well, and was able to get some separation and clarity from several individuals in my life that have been draining my energy for quite some time.
This is the one of the only tinctures I don’t risk taking internally, due to the kava kava. But i love anointing the crown, 3rd eye and feet with this tincture for psychic protection.
I also like to add drops of this and a pinch of DA salt to bluing bottles for extra oomph!

I will take a single drop of this tincture internally when I need instant grounding and a sense of myself/my boundaries. It has a complex and reassuring taste - there's a sense of depth and protection that comes on right away for me. I don't use this often, but i wouldn't be without it.

I began using this tincture at the start of a new job and I felt that it assisted me with boundaries related to customer service as well as being regarded highly by my peers. I like layering it with more easeful things like Butter Ocean to help prevent me from taking things too seriously, as I found myself getting very invested in certain things and taking responsibility on. I didn't notice an increase in police presence. Overall DA materia has felt so helpful for boundaries and protection and feeling like a competent adult

This tincture is amazing. I use a few drops in water for nighttime warding, also for warding the doors and windowsills of my house.

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.
