About this item Palo Santo Sticks 20 sticks Sustainably Harvested from Ecuador Botanical Name: bursera graveolens High Resin Content 100% Natural - No pesticides - Non irradiated
Palo santo (Bursera graveolens) is a tree that’s native to Peru, Ecuador, and other South American countries. It grows in dry tropical forests and produces very fragrant resin. In Spanish, palo santo means “holy wood.” For thousands of years, wood, resin, and oil have been used for medicinal purposes. It’s mainly used to treat pain and stress. It’s also said to clear negative energy.
Pectoral, in the form of a double-headed serpent. Made of cedro wood (Cedrela odorata) and covered with mosaic made of turquoise and red thorny oyster shell (Spondylus princeps). The teeth in the two open mouths are made from conch shell (Strombus). Two resins are used as adhesive: pine resin and Bursera resin (copal). In the mouths the resin is coloured red with hematite. Beeswax adhesive survives around the eye sockets.

Can be used regularly for those in actively Mercurial periods of life, once weekly before attunements in Mercury's hour, or prior to mundane or ritual activities where one seeks to invoke the Messenger's quicksilver grace, washing away energies that inhibit freedom of thought and movement. These Spell Soaps will last a looong time — for many, many years if only used occasionally. We recommend getting a dedicated soap holder with slats to best facilitate drying between use, and keeping the tissue paper with its series label to wrap them back up once dried, for easy future identification. These can be most conveniently stored in a dedicated ritual bathing drawer, as suggested in the Energetic Cleansing protocol. These soaps work beautifully as part of the "mundane fore-cleansing" portion of the process. Mercury is a great soap to use regardless of follow-up influences in terms of creating energetic movement and receptivity — a nod to the Divine Messenger's ability to go-between/ connect any and all powers, especially to our Human realm. Soaps were also created for each subset, each with their own scent and magical powder: Froggy and The Door-Key Offered in a 3" x 1" disc for $48 Please note that the loaded herbal components can make these slightly "scratchy" on the skin, which can serve to exfoliate, or, use your hands to work up a lather and transfer it to whatever areas you wish to wash! 13 reviews $48 $33.60 $48 $33.60 Add to Cart Sold out Restock Incoming - Join List $3 – $99 Out of stock The Door-Key Subset Anointing Oils, Available, Flagship, Incense, Mercury in Gemini, Powders, Spell Soaps Materia Magica to Open the Way, leveraging Mercury in Gemini's unparalleled access to anyone, anything, and anywhere it (or you!) sees fit.

Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to 'cut' the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later. 110 reviews $3 – $99 $3 – $99 Out of stock Sold out 100% Sold Out 100% Sold Out $56 – $112 Out of stock Talismanic Perfumes of Mercury in Gemini Mercury in Gemini, Sold Out, Talismanic Perfumes The triumphant post-relocation return of Elizabeth Barrial/ Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab/ Twilight Alchemy Lab!

These were left to incubate for many, many moons, and then combined with organic shea butter and coconut oil before being whipped with a refreshing, stimulating blend of Mercurial essential oils. Brings speed to the thought process, bounce to the step, and lightness to being. Diurnal or social use advised! Offered in a 2 oz pot for $33 or a 6 oz bulk pot for $78. Important note: Body Butters are prone to melting in transit during hot weather, especially when shipped ground and/ or not collected immediately! They are whipped (like cream) to create a soft, spreadable texture. When Body Butters melt in transit, the air within gets separated from the oil base, making the jar *appear* less full. Rest assured that we never send "half empty" Body Butters. You are getting the *same amount* of product when this happens. None leaked if the exterior of the jar and label are not oily. Your Butter can be restored by putting it into the refrigerator and re-whipping it, or used as-is, whatever you prefer! It retains its magical and herbal potency regardless of air content. Refunds or replacements are not given for items that melt in transit. Only the Client understands what the weather is like in their area around the time they order, what their personal mail scenario is (put inside a climate controlled building or likely to be left in a hot mailbox?), and what type of shipping they choose. If your order qualifies for free shipping, please add your preference as a note if you have one. You can also refrain from obtaining items that may melt in hot conditions by saving those acquisitions for cooler weather.

Fumigated with frankincense at the height of our Mercury in Gemini election, and covered in high-grade vodka. Though we cannot recommend Tinctures procured from us for your internal consumption (because they were not created to GMP standards), we can say that Talismanic Attuning Tinctures are designed to work in homeopathic doses. 1-3 drops at a time in a glass of liquid or under the tongue will do. That being said, anoint that which you do not want getting oily… Offered in a 1/2 oz glass jar with dropper cap for $35, or 1 oz for $60 Please Note: To promote the longest shelf-life possible and reduce the likelihood of leaking during transit, this Tincture now arrives sealed with a flat closed cap, with a glass dropper bulb + 5 ml Mini vial for collecting the displaced excess on the side (for travel or gifting!). We suggest only inserting the bulb during periods of routine application, and keeping the flat cap for times of dormant or less active use, especially since droppers can allow for evaporation and discoloration over time. Disclaimer: While this does not contain anything inedible or poisonous, it was not created in a commercial kitchen to GMP standards, so it is not suitable or intended for consumption (legally speaking). Use externally to anoint yourself or objects. Keep this (and all our wares) out of reach of children. Any internal consumption undertaken at the user’s sole risk and liability. Over time, the natural herbal components in this formulation will create a residue on the inside of the glass vial, causing it to look cloudy.

Shasta with grain alcohol, colloidals of silver and gold, opal, and Mercurial essential oils. Consecrated during the Mercury in Gemini election. Cleansing the vessel with this Kolonía helps purify the Mercurial within your own bodily Sphere, and open the way for clear thinking, communications, commerce, eloquence, productivity, travel. Supremely energizing, clarifying, and invigorating! It also functions to sanctify the hands before Mercurial works. Best practice with any Kolonía is to seal the auric body after use. This is easily achieved by using any Anointing Oil, Salve, or even Body Butter which supports your chosen aims, to address your state in the moment, or for supporting longer-term goals… Cleanse your wallet, purse, and keys to clear out stagnant, blocking energies, to increase the rate of exchange, open the way for material gain, and expedite getting from point A to point B. This can also be used to clear the field of malfunctioning electronics, to help troubleshoot connectivity issues and expedite problem solving. It functions as a purifying and priming wash for tools, talismans, and raw materials. It can also be added to an essential oil diffuser to fill an atmosphere with energizing, talkative, and stimulating Mercurial energies. Turkish colognes are often sprinkled upon the hands before entering households and business establishments, providing natural sanitation and also a delightful scent. ⠀ ⠀ Sphere + Sundry’s talismanic Kolonías can be used in such a way, or as Celestial Florida Waters for energetic cleansing — promoting clarity and way-finding, as life demands or before ritual. ⠀ ⠀ Doing the following makes it difficult for nasties to glom on or penetrate the auric body, and establishes a clean slate which potentiates the efficacy of other materia…⠀ ⠀ Shake well to integrate and disburse organic essential oils, colloidal metals, and botanically derived colors.⠀ ⠀Quick Kolonía Clearing Protocol ⠀ ⠀ Sprinkle about a half teaspoon onto the palm of the hand and gently rub both together for 5-10 seconds, coating tops and bottoms. The hands can float 2 inches from the body or lightly skim it.⠀ ⠀ Stand and run your palms from the crown of your head down the back of it, then start from the top again, going down the sides, the front of the face and down body, all the way to the tops of your feet. Sweep multiple times. ⠀ ⠀ If you feel any areas “sticking”, continue stroking until energies disperse, and then proceed with additional downward sweeping.⠀ ⠀ Continue skimming downward, running your cologned hands across every surface area, including under the arms, groin, between the legs, and rear, concluding with the bottoms of the feet by lifting them. You can “flick” the energy off if it feels right, or it will dissipate naturally, however you prefer.⠀ ⠀ Take 10-30 seconds to close your eyes and integrate the cleansing, feeling the shift, and thank your chosen Power for the cleansing and protection it provided, sealing the auric body from negativity.⠀ ⠀ Kolonías also serve to anoint and sanctify the hands, and can be used before performing energy work, ritual work, or any activity related to each series’ arcana – on oneself, one’s clients, or loved ones. They can be used to cleanse objects, spaces, and add oomph to spiritual baths, as well as added to floor washes, essential oil diffusers, or dishes of water kept at the bedside and entries. ⠀ ⠀ Extraordinarily simple, versatile, effective, and p o t e n t .

Offered in a 1/2 oz glass vial with variegated blue leaf for $30, or 2 oz bulk pot for $90 Note that Sphere + Sundry's Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite. Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to 'cut' the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later. 7 reviews $30 – $90 $30 – $90 Select options Talismanic elections for Mercury have been scarce since Sphere + Sundry’s inception; especially from the Gemini side. Austin had initial doubts we’d be able to secure a maiden series for it in 2022, but a second*, closer inspection revealed otherwise. Despite Exalted Mercury being created later, it did end up being released first. You might recognize the antique door used as Mercury in Gemini’s altar behind the working area in the photos. I liked the idea of using a horizontally suspended door as our base of magical operations (in this case) because of all it represents: Mercury commands places of ingress, and no single locale represents that more classically than literal doorways. That this particular door was lacking its hardware was even better, since the hinges and metal that attach a door to its structure are the distinctly Virgoan components. The stabilizing, trusty, and well aligned bits that make serving its worldly function possible. The open Air that comprises the door-way — the binary of a door being open, or closed (and anywhere in between) are where the Gemini (and everyone!) comes in. The side with the knob that fingers dexterously squeeze, following the turning of dynamic pins within the locking mechanism. Lines of actual code which form manifest riddles that the right key holds the answer for. Application of technology confirms one’s identity, or at least authority to gain entry, which nowadays could look less like an actual key and more like a numerical sequence, a mysterious fob, phone app, or even a fingerprint. What that tells us about Keys as a magical concept and methods of gaining access to places, powers, and whatever one wills is ripe for rumination. — Come June 23rd 2022, the day of the operation, half of the herbs still hadn’t been delivered. Tracking showed the dread “In transit, arriving late” status, as opposed to an actual delivery date. Suspended in a state of Mercurial purgatory. “Watch them show up right as we finish…” quothe the Mage The Way (well, truly, and quite obviously!) Opened, this was the first of an incredible array of synchronicities that confirmed the working had indeed been successful. Needing to incorporate our new arrivals into the consecrated herbal matter was itself the second* major instance of dual processes and twin manifestations taking the place of what is typically one. Which brings us to Mercury’s… eccentric, relationship to numerical associations. On the one hand, we have The Twins — Gemini’s Zodiacal mascot(s). Twins = two people or things, that are also one. That they are a matching set unifies them as compared to distinctly unrelated entities. The Two + the One = Three; another number very commonly attributed to our planetary patron, in the form of, for instance: Hermes Trismegistus, meaning Hermes [who is] Thrice Great or Triply Wise. The flow of creation follows: first, there was nothing [the BBV, or the Big Black Void; all-potential and yin-filled fecundity; a Moon so dark she doesn’t even exist yet], then, there was the initial spark or big bang [light, heat, sound; the yang-driven impetus; the first Star], followed by whatever other forms that coupling began to generate [rapidly and exponentially no doubt; Mercury; the once and eternal child]. The original quintessential pairing (Adam and Eve #classic) is compulsively and distinctly male and female, because historically and archetypally, the union of Man and Woman (seed + egg) is what produces literal children. But once creation gets going, it gets WILD! It doesn’t need to stay binary any longer (and so it doesn’t!). ALL KINDS of exceptions and permutations begin arising, which aligns Mercury with Queerness as the distinct *3rd* category. The both and/ or, the neither. Otherness made flesh. Mercury’s astro-magical number is 8 (which is why we collaborated with Tabletop Gems to create Loaded D8 Divination Dice for this series ((after Kit slid into our DMs during pre-production, *not knowing* a set of D&D dice had been on the working altar!)). Why 8? — there are a lot of reasons, including Agrippa’s (Eric Purdue translation, naturally). But the point about Mercury and numbers is that it includes EVEN numbers (the first is 2… the twins…) and ODD numbers. Mercury rules children between the ages of when they can walk + talk (/start making chaos and relentlessly asking WHY?!), and when the hormones that come to bifurcate the sexes kick in. That’s another reason Mercury aligns with gender, or rather, not-gender as a first-principle. Kids at that age should be kids first and foremost, and in an ideal world, their cares should be about childish things; the need is learning and gaining experience, which is a natural “consequence” of non-directed or gently guided play. Children are drawn to this series, and it acts as a great counter-balance to stagnancy, obstinance, and age-related inflexibility in all dimensions. It promotes plasticity and youthfulness across the spectrum, including releasing muscle tension and old manners of thinking. Saturn and Mercury both share this “neutered” quality, but from different ends of the lifespan. Life before hormones kick in and life after hormones… calm tf down. They are, in many ways, counter to one another. Circling around to something that comes dangerously close to actually discussing this series… Mercury in Gemini talismans + materia serve as free passes for the inner child (and the ever-emergent-Self) to do as it will, in order to find its Way. It’s less responsible and focused than Mercury in Virgo, because its job is to have myriad experiences for the sake of them, rather than having the end-goal of curating something orderly and functional. It’s not being judged, or judging itself. It’s trying and experiencing and seeing what sticks. This relates to Gemini being the more primitive, less refined form of Mercury (coming earlier in Zodiacal order), which gives it a super refreshing “low stakes” vibe. In the best way possible. That didn’t work out, omg no problem! Cool experience, my dude! Learned somethin’ super interesting. Next! This is great for learning to take yourself, others, and life’s senseless circumstances less seriously, and results in the kind of breakthroughs and power-ups that come as a result of *not trying* for anything specific, or over-producing. The person who spends years desperate for a partner, and 2 days after “giving up”, a froggy shows up that just so happens to be Prince (or Princess!… or Princex!) Charming. [Matthew McConaughey voice] Green light after green light! Wide open roads! Skeleton keys to doors unknown! Being in flow… Mercury’s own Magic… Austin did a little write-up about the election for us. He also has a new website and class downloads! Thanks in no small part to this Mercury in Gemini launch cycle, which has been great for inspiring good ol’ fashioned web work. Anyway: Mercury is in truly excellent condition in this election. The quicksilver planet is at home in Gemini, in the 10th house in both whole-sign and quadrant styles of division. Morning-rising, in a diurnal sign, and in day chart, Mercury is also perfectly in-sect. Furthermore, Mercury is not only in the 10th and ruling it, but is also the ruler of the Virgo Ascendant, giving the fleet-footed planet tremendous authority. Another trio of factors further support Mercury. Venus is keeping Mercury company in Gemini, offering ease and charm via benefic co-presence. Jupiter is in a sextile with Mercury, providing scope and confidence, and finally, Mercury is itself tightly conjunct Aldebaran, a royal star, granting the swift planet additional power and authority. The Moon in this election is more waned than ideal. This lack of light is, however, compensated for by its exaltation and a strong, harmonious configuration to the Ascendant. The Moon is in Mercury’s decan, while the ruler of the Moon, Venus, is co-present with Mercury and ruled by them, providing a strong set of linkages between the Mercurial power available and the Moon’s capacity for manifestation. The Dragon’s Head and Uranus share Taurus with the Moon, but are in a different mansion, and well beyond a day’s motion away, preserving the silver light from corruption, and removed from Venus by sign boundary. The Moon herself is occupied with a tight sextile to the Sun, providing a stabilizing note of solilunar harmony. The earth-sign rising, Taurus Moon, and Aldebaran conjunction all serve to ground the super-charged Mercury, helping to translate mental motion into effective action and reify thinking into solid plans and processes. These same factors make our election most excellent for financial applications. It also resulted in an incredibly illuminating interaction with a very knowledgeable, generous, and perfectly rotund cheesemonger(!) at the store the other day. Other syncs include Austin and I receiving twin(!) book offers from a major publisher during this cycle, which bodes well for those who are also writers in terms of productive engagement with this series. And the craziest door-key experience (the same ones that were *on* the altar!) playing out so literally I’ve gotta save it for another time when we can share more of the context. The time-warps and magical manifestations this series brings are almost psychedelic in “reality”-piercing potency. Forgive this write-up for being scattered but that’s MERCURY IN GEMINI, BABY! Get into it! (yuh) This influence is a pun and sync FACT’RY. Don’t blame me when you start mixing colors you didn’t used to and randomly bursting into song. LET YOUR INNER CHILD LIIIVE! This energy is light on its feet, effervescent, and very good natured, fantastic for all the Mercurial™ things, and yet still very capable of being a force for productivity and focus, when supportively channeled. Good for merchant-ing, facilitating transactions, and communications. Tends to show up in twin or duplicate ways, of course. This one can register as more “wearable” or even “forgettable” once it’s going, compared to Exalted Mercury. It’s still very strong, but in a less… overbearing or nit-picky way that makes it easier to ride along with, and a more reliably good time. It’s almost a little Quicksilver Tongue, but if Mercury was 10x stronger than all the other influences. Venus and the Moon lend this charge a pleasant, friendly groundedness rarely held in Air-based elections — but Taurus is much more chill about stuff than Virgo is, so it’s a cozy, satisfied Earth that offers a nice counter-balance to the scattered-ness Gemini is prone to. If anyone is choosing between the two, this is the better investment if more key planets are in Gemini, or Gemini is just a better house for you (1st, 5th, 9th, 10th, 11th). Or Exalted Mercury if the opposite is the case. They are both really nice though – it’s totally worth having ~both~ for learning more about the differences between how the signs go about things, and for the different lived-experiences they provide. As far as stimulation goes, Gemini is like coffee — great for some day-to-day pep in your step, a little luck, and very literal AstroGlide with all the Mercurial things life entails, whereas Virgo is like a study drug. Take it with a purpose, to cram info or productivity, but daily use over time can result in more wear and tear. At the same time, depending on how some people are wired (and what’s going on with the natal!), Mercury materia might make them calmer than usual, how stimulants do for those with ADHD. Can’t wait until reviews come in letting us know how it hits! One little tip, is that sometimes as we’re finding our way not everything works out. It’s not supposed to! Try Locks you encounter — paths that don’t seem open to you — a few times, and if it’s not working, try something else. Maybe come back to the same lock later once conditions have changed, or once you find new Keys in your revolutions. Make offerings and pray to Mercury and Mercurial Spirits, in addition to passive use of the materia. Remember that we’re always fighting against the currents of natal influences, transits, and whatnot, and that we have to be smart in playing our part and being a good dance partner with the Powers we employ. Yet… trust the process ; ) After a relocation hiatus, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is BACK with a twin set of talismanic perfumes from the election, and we are over the moon to have the band back together again!
