Jup-Juice
2020 Holiday Grab Bag, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Sold Out, WatersA beloved favorite, given new life just in time for the holidays! Consecrated mulling spices and citrine distilled with a combination of water collected during a thunder storm (8/9/19) and freshly drawn from the underbelly of the earth (well) via two copper alembics, initiated at the start of Jupiter’s hour during the ritual operation and produced until the following hour of Jupiter. This hydrosol was mixed with a small amount of grain alcohol to preserve and left to bask upon the Jupiter altar, stored with the rest of the materia since to imbue its positive characteristics and “program” its charge. Synchronistically, the day the offering photos were staged (+ the day of launching this series), the air was heavy with cloudy white mist (see photo gallery), mirroring the clouds within the freshly distilled liquid and a nod to Jupiter’s rulership over “generous bodily fluids”, including those of... a prolific nature. Shout-out to Zeus’ many offspring. The result is an uplifting, motivating, and utterly delicious spray that can be conveniently applied any time one finds themselves in need of a jolt of good fortune, improved attitude, optimistic stimulation, and good cheer. Note that this is the only offering from the Jupiter in Sagittarius series containing lightning charged components, and is therefore closest to the Lightning Rod series in effect and temperament. Use to set the tone of a space before holiday or social gatherings, as well as ritual. Spray as an offering over wealth altars, or those in devotion to Jupiterian spirits. Stimulating, warming, and motivating. Instills a sense of bright, yet grounded hopefulness, cuts melancholy and helps emotionally reframe anxiety into an exciting sense of potential and possibility. Excellent for application before engaging in brain storming sessions and yang activities for self-improvement and goal achievement, ranging from going to professional development conferences, engaging active self-help practices and materials, running marathons, working out, or networking for opportunities. Or, simply use to help get yourself off the couch and out of an emotional rut. We start from where we're at Arrives in a glass spray bottle with hand drawn Jupiter in Sagittarius glyph and keepsake citrine, available in a 1/2 oz travel or sample size for $28 or full 2 oz for $64 Golden and clear drops of essential oil resulting from the distillation are still present, in some bottles more than others. These are completely natural, not any indication something is amiss.
Forgemaster’s Iron Palm Dit Da Jow I
Sold Out, Sundry, Waters[sf_iconbox image="fas fa-magic" character="" color="accent" type="boxed-four" animation="" animation_delay="200"]
Sold out — a new batch is now available ⚒️[/sf_iconbox] This is the result of a standalone project one and a half years in the making. It was created during a supremely fine Mars in Capricorn election, the red planet rising in its hour, fortified by Jupiter in Scorpio on the midheaven, and anchored by a stalwart, exalted Taurus Moon. As always, the chart can be found in the image gallery. The Forgemaster's Iron Palm liniment is a specialized form of jow, intended to warm, strengthen, and fortify, in addition to providing the expedited healing properties of other more generalized dit da jows. It can be used in the formal context of iron palm (or shin, or foot, etc.) training, but it also provides energetic and magical properties encapsulated by the Mars election itself. It serves as a form of exterior armor and attunes one's vessel to the Martial sphere in a way that is both productive and invigorating. Apply and rub well into the skin before and/ or after workouts or combat, whether of a metaphoric or physical nature. For a deeper dive into the workings of this supremely fine, well aged formula, Austin writes —The furnace blazes, the iron glows. Blood burns in the hammer-arm of the blacksmith. Stubborn metal becomes malleable, open to convincing arguments from the hammer and the strong hand that wields it.
Fire, iron, and blood. This is the holy trinity of Mars, as crucial for creation as it is for destruction. While many know Mars as the Warrior, the red planet is equally the Smith. In the Smith we see the constructive side of Mars, the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to shape and re-shape our lives, our bodies, ourselves.
The Smith’s alchemical action is an especially apt metaphor for the transformation of the body. The layers of effort required to re-forge the body are quintessentialy martial, and there is no exercise regimen as close to the forge as Iron Palm.
Iron Palm refers to a family of limb-training methods which strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones for both defensive and offensive purposes. Many styles also emphasize the internal side, cultivating increased qi emission capacity for both striking and healing purposes.
Though there are many variations, the training almost always consists of a daily routine of hitting progressively more resilient materials. A canvas bag of bean, then stones, then metal. Though the results are dramatic, the training process is incremental, with as much attention paid to healing and perfect recovery as to anything else.
Over the years, a great number of liniments have been created for this purpose. Generally referred to as dit da jow, they are widely available and widely used for general athletic purposes well outside of the specific practice of an Iron Palm regimen.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is one of these Iron Palm formulae, but with a Sphere + Sundry twist. This Jow was created in a fully ritual manner and at a precisely elected astrological time.
Prayers to Mars the Forgemaster were intoned to bless and empower this tincture at the outset of the operation. The operators were consecrated to the red work, and the medicine vessels adorned with magic square, seal, and sigil.
The elected time seemed a spectacularly appropriate and rare moment for this work. It was the Day and Hour of Mars, with the red planet exalted in Capricorn and on the Ascendant. This powerful, earthy Mars was further supported by a trine from an exalted Moon in Taurus, and meanwhile, Jupiter in Mars-ruled Scorpio crowned the zenith (MC). Not only was Mars strong, but Mars, the Rising, Moon, and Sun were all in Earth signs in order to ensure that the planet’s iron blessings were sufficiently rooted in the very bodily goal of this creation.
After the evocations were said, the herbal and animal ingredients were sealed in their alchemical bath for 18 months.
The result, the Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow, is not only rich with the spirit and energy of this powerful Mars election, it also possesses the excellent properties bestowed by the materia of the formulation itself.
The basis for this recipe is the Iron Palm formula of Yu Cheung (1894- 1952), one of the famed Five Tigers of Canton. His iron palm feats were famously documented in the early 1900's by photographers, and though his stone-shattering exploits are too numerous to cover here, there are entire books dedicated to his training methods. Crucially, he was known not just his power of his hands, but also their sensitivity.
This formula was designed by him to cultivate both strength and softness. Protection for the hand, energy gates, and organ systems while also maximizing sensitivity and the capacity to express qi for both healing and striking purposes. Yu Cheung’s formula is the basis for this liniment, though it has been modified in small ways for reasons of both ethics and efficacy.
This liniment is designed to unblock the qi flow, activate blood movement, relax tendons and ligaments and increase bone strength. The two types of qi this formula stimulates are wei qi or “defensive/guardian energy” and regular organ qi. This formula activates both in harmony, and is one of the many reasons it is superior to a store-bought dit da jow.
Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is formulated to facilitate the healing of bruises , tendons, sinews, and bones, and to reduce pain, strengthen blood vessels, reduce swelling, and mitigate blood stagnation. It also protects the meridians and mobilizes both protective and organ qi for health and vitality.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is, of course, perfect for an Iron Limb regimen, but has a number of other uses. Both physically and energetically, it is an ideal pre- and post- workout liniment for any martial striking practice, such as boxing and kickboxing. More broadly, it can be used to ready and fortify the muscles, tendons, and joints in preparation for any athletic activity, and to facilitate the swift healing of bruises. Magically, it is appropriate for works of fortification and the cultivation of personal power.
Bottled and a portion made available to the public on the first Tuesday after Mars returned to Capricorn in 2020, a year and a half after creation. Note: Should not be used in areas with mucous membranes, skin rashes, open cuts, or sores. Apply a small amount, wait an hour, if no allergic reaction occurs, continue with use. External application only.
Talismanic Bluing
Bluings, Deneb Algedi I, Sold Out, Waters
This water aids me in returning to my energy, ny body and creating firmer energetic! boundaries. When I use this I am much less swayed by other’s wants and their moods. It helps me be stronger in myself. It gives me the energy to finish whatever I need to do in a day. High recommend.
I used my Aldebaran water for the first time today. With Saturn in my first house, I can really struggle to get moving on things.. but not today! I just motored through my home to-do list with no resistance, no drama, no languishing, just smooth, steady energy throughout the day as I checked things off my list. Love it.
Love the Aldebaran goodies. This never disappoints. It’s like having a strong friend that encourages you when you feel you are not capable of accomplishing your task. This is willpower in a bottle!
+10 for will power.
This is my first time using the Aldebaran water, and it is a focus and determination blend on steroids. My day is filled with meetings, but I still have several to-dos, and currently I am crushing it at work. Enough so that I have time to post about how well I’m killing it and getting shit done.
I am now super curious to see how this would power up any wealth generation work.
This is ones of my favorites out of all the S&S products I’ve worked with so far. I often experience issues related to focus and motivation, which can sometimes make it hard for me to stay on track with personal or work projects. I’ve found that spraying myself with a bit of Adebaran water can consistently provide the right “push” needed for me to get up and start working on things. The added confidence boost is nice as well. In general, I get a great, energetic, get-stuff-done vibe from this, which I really enjoy and highly recommend!
This water really packs a wallop! One morning, I used the spray for my work day and forgot about it. Then a couple of hours later, I was on a call with my clients and typically, I’m not that forceful. I try to be patient and listen — I’m probably more on the meek side. But I was being talked over while I was talking and it was frustrating. Instead of just letting the other person roll over me, I kindly but assertively said, “I’m still talking. Let me finish.” And I was given the floor. It felt really natural to do at the time, but afterward I thought, “Whoa, did I do that?!” At first, I sprayed my work area every day, but now I don’t use this spray often. Just having it here has helped me start embracing my own personal power and to be more assertive with people. There’s been a steady increase of feeling empowered and emboldened to express how I really feel and think. It’s scary good.
Upon receiving the Water of Aldebaran, I simply recited the hymn and sprayed my palms and work area with it. Instantly, I felt more focused and committed to initiate an artistic project I had been procrastinating to begin. What Aldebaran seems to do for me, personally, is get me past the fear of failure and the anxiety behind possibly not creating an excellent piece. It’s only natural that I will fail before I create something substantial, and the process that I need to go through is what Aldebaran provides. Also, it’s been great for brainstorming ideas. I usually have ideas, but now I notice that I’m jotting some down just to keep track.
Overall, it’s been a positive experience, and I intend to purchase the oil.
Caution: this water may be addicting. I do not take testosterone despite my lower-than-normal levels, but I can only imagine that this must be what it feels like to supplement with it. When using this water, I feel a jolt that courses through me and commands me to do what is necessary to get what I want done in whatever capacity I need for things to go my way. I am generally an other-oriented person who uses a feminine register to soften my otherwise direct way of dealing with things, but in using this water, I feel more moved to speak directly without padding and to ask for what I want from others rather than provide it without being asked. It staves off the feeling of dread for possibly imposing myself because I have needs. It encourages asking for what is rightfully mine, even if it means the possibility of conflict. For me, this water helps direct my intense internal life outward, asking me to own what I think, what I want, and what I need so that I may take action toward getting it. Note: the above statements are an indication of my mood and behavior while using this water generally, though I do find that it does work extremely well for conversations surrounding financial and material issues. It lasts a relatively short period of time, perhaps twenty to forty minutes, but the intensity of this water is next level.
Love this spray. I used it right before going to spin class, and I felt so driven and full of energy. I paired it with Sol in Leo hydrosol, and I felt so EMPOWERED! I powered through the whole class, and was able to vibrate and connect more with the energy of the room.
