In such perfumed garments is Aphrodite clothed at all seasons. Though this is an oil of sensuality and sensual delight, it is also an oil of the arts: creating art, appreciating art, embracing art. This oil amplifies personal beauty in all forms, and amplifies the power of the arts to sustain us, resolve conflict, and educate us. It is an oil that enhances the power of art to create a sense of harmony, concord, and community.

A DISTANT SONG Whether awake or sleeping, I cannot rest for long: By my casement comes creeping A distant song. A song like the chiming of silver Bells which the breezes play, Seeming to float for ever Towards an unseen day: A song that is weary with sorrow, Yet knows not any defeat: Through the past, through to-day, through to-morrow, It echoes on life’s long street. Could I but make words of its power, Bring it from the future here, Men’s souls would be waking, that hour, To the victory against fear. But the vague sweet stanza befools me With its calm joy, time after time, And no failure here ever schools me To cease from an idle rhyme. That music afar, unspoken, ’Tis I have done it wrong: I caught, and I have broken, A distant song. This oil was inspired by a poem that reflects an aspect of Venus' dance with Spica: A Distant Song by John Gould Fletcher. This oil assists in healing emotional wounds caused by fear, pain or resentment. It helps enable people to be more loving and more receptive to love. Benzoin oil and resin (Styrax tonkinensis, Styrax benzoin), red sandalwood (Pterocarpus soyauxii), cardamom essential oil and green pods (Elettaria cardamomum), cherry fruit compound, fig fruit compound and leaf from the TAL garden, Bulgarian rose absolute (Rosa damascene), honey absolute (Apis mellifera), periwinkle (Vinca minor), white sage from the TAL garden (Salvia apiana) and clary sage essential oil (Salvia sclarea), mugwort essential oil and herb from the TAL garden (Artemisia vulgaris), mandrake root (Mandragora officinarum), red clover blossoms from the TAL garden (Trifolium pratense), mimosa absolute (Acacia dealbata), manuka essential oil (Leptospermum scoparium), angelica essential oil and root (Angelica archangelica), red mandarin essential oil (Citrus reticulata), and patchouli essential oil and leaf (Pogostemon cablin).

The Aerial Queen Subset
Series, Venus' Aerial Delight, Anointing Oils, Incense, Powders
Venusian herbs and sakura blossom featured in Sphere + Sundry's maiden Venus in Libra series: damiana, fenugreek, red clover, plantain, and more, combined with Agrippan correspondences for the fixed star Spica: periwinkle, mugwort, and emerald — ritually fumigated, consecrated, and made Celestial Sacrament in the garden of our Aerial Delight election window.
The Oils were immersed in 100% organic jojoba at the time of creation, before being tucked into 5-months of quiet, restorative beauty sleep alongside Her series sistren.
Consecrated herbs were roused and powdered in the hour of Venus, given additional shimmering adornments of excess emerald and 22k rose gold.
Essential oils of whimsical galbanum, high-femme clary sage, and sundry others.
The Aerial Queen's offerings call forth a refreshing breeze — worries dispel, instantly composting into refreshing blooms of the mind-heart.
"All is well" she whispers...
and we believe Her!
Induce emotional micro-vacations with but a drop from a vial, or a soft sprinkling of powder, or a waft of Her intoxicating incense.
Lighten the load...
Live and let live...
Drift upon Her perfumed breeze... away from all but simple pleasures and lovely, subtle delights.
Aerate your state. Take good care. Don't be so hard on yourself,
and temper everything /anything life throws your way — including other series (via layering).
Take the edge off of external conditions and internal states.
Learn to let go, and to be, and how (be)autiful that **really**, truly is.
and You are.
because — if nothing else —
She tells you so.
and you believe Her.
Draw admirers — allowing yourself the flowers and candy and care they bring.
for you are Worthy.
(of this and far more)
Carry yourself with Her enchanting Grace... Her easy way... Her unburdened cadence.
Enhance your ability to create and appreciate Art, Music, Poetry, and your own Reflection.
Float gently through your own gaze, until discovering the Light of your own Eyes as a jewel more precious than any other — the Hope Diamond that never leaves you.
The Pearl that needs safekeeping from all that is undeserving about this world...
The eyelids a clamshell which hosts the Soul's divine Flame.
Learn to hold space yourself and others... be kinder... softer... more Libran.
as the Aerial Queen Herself

chatty, soothing, dignified. the talisman but also this entire series carves a pathway to diplomatic excellence i am still unpacking but deeply grateful for. this is for personal peace but also communal. there’s something yet to be discovered here but altogether healing
I have an interesting Spica PofF conjunction in my 6th house of Libra. Suffice to say, my workplace experience since I’ve had the talisman has been if somewhat hectic, also effortless and effective in terms of problem solving and client/co-worker relations. <3
I am an introvert. My temperament is Cold. Social engagements and zoom meetings have a tendency to fray me, and it takes me a long time to recover myself. Recently, I have been wearing my VAD talisman when talking to people is required and pairing it with my Saturn in Capricorn talisman when work is involved or when I feel the need for stronger boundaries or greater endurance. The VAD brings a sweet softening and even, to my astonishment, an eagerness to be with people. I find myself saying just the right thing. I find myself being heard. I find myself, again with astonishment, recognized for my offerings. I find myself showing up, sweetly. And not being shredded in the process. What a gift.
