UltraViolet Report post Posted March 31, 2006 In the bottle I smell Amber and a somewhat piercing, bright herbal smell like heliotrope. On I annointed a stone with this blend. 30 minutes It's sweet, like golden amber initially and thick and resinous, then it becomes brighter more astringent and almost piercing. Than it relaxes a bit and warms up again to a golden smelling or "feeling" blend. Throw: a bit more than average, yes. Scent category: Not sure, resin/herbal/? Summary This is a lively blend, it seems to be alive and change as I smell it, alternating between a warm golden resin and a piercing, astringent, bright quality. Like the sun. Purchase again? Yes for effect and feeling, not for the scent. 1-5 rating (5 being best) 2 for scent 7 (thusfar) for workability[/color] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OctoberGwen Report post Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) As this is a TAL blend, I'm going to discuss its efficacy, although I must say that I find the scent very...magical. Sharp, yes, and somehow just right. I annointed a white candle (I didn't have any green ones on hand) that I'd simply inscribed with my name. I also annointed a dollar bill, which I placed under the candle. It burned for much of the day, and I had to put it out because we were leaving the house. Upon our return I checked my email and I had offers for several things I was selling on another forum, totalling about $250. The following day, I annointed a fresh candle and also annointed some coins and dropped them into a dish while doing the old Gypsy(?) "Trinka Five" chant. By the day after that, I had over $700 in my PayPal account. This stuff works, my friends. ETA: A few days later, and the money was still coming in. We received $300 from my husband's uncle for providing him some storage space (this was after the issue had been discussed and we'd refused to charge him anything), and I sold another rare Tarot deck. Thank you, Universe! Edited January 9, 2012 by OctoberGwen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cookiepie Report post Posted April 17, 2015 Okay, so... yesterday was deadline for taxes so I was preparing all my paperwork after months and months of procrastination. My workplace was ready and decluttered for the occasion and did turbotax online the second year around. I lighted a green candle after I inscribed "tax refund" on it, also dressed it with showers of gold. At this point I had no expectations, just wanting to put myself in a mood to prep my taxes. And a the end of my work, my tax refund this year is $2000 more than last year's. Yay for sweet refunds and showers of gold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maiea Report post Posted June 5, 2015 I just did a quick candle burning with this, the next day I spotted a $50 bill in a parking lot with no one around. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinnamonster Report post Posted July 8, 2015 The last time I used this I found an envelope with money in in my home. I'd put it aside for a specific bill as per the writing on the outside, and completely forgotten it for two years!! There was £50 in it iirc! I've used this very sparingly and sporadically as I only had a small decant but it does work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamermouse Report post Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) I do not know how to describe the smell of Showers of Gold. It is a sweet perfume and somewhat effervescent to my nose, like the essence of a cool spring day in the shade, almost. It's very light with a short to medium throw. It's a pleasant, somewhat cool-toned aroma. I used it to anoint a small candle shortly after it arrived, a day after failing a test for a job I was trying to get. When I took the test again two days later, I blew through it and got my position. I'm an RN. It's nice pay, and perhaps the best job I've ever had in six years of nursing. I used Showers of Gold again because I was still having money issues. Then I finally received the audio book contract from Dreamscape I'd been waiting for, with a $1500 advance for a novel I haven't even completed yet. I anointed another candle and engraved what I needed with my fingernail perhaps two weeks ago. Sunday night I looked into my account and saw an additional 2 stimulus checks for my kids due to a clerical error. I have it confirmed by the IRS that I do *not* have to pay it back, because it's an issue on their end that has occurred for a few other people. Showers of Gold works. edit: 4:28, random deposit of backchild support for $3,700 yoinked from an ex-husband who hasn't paid it in years. They got his stimulus. Now it is mine. edit: 5:8:2021, played the stock market. made about $225 of investments into DogeCoin over the past two months. Investment value raised to almost a grand. Just sold $700 worth of DogeCoin and my original investment is still there. Edited May 9, 2021 by gamermouse TAL Showered me with more Gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
