Have you ever considered harnessing the power of Aldebaran, the red eye of the bull in the constellation Taurus? This series of ritual tools and oils is your best opportunity. As Kaitlin writes:

 

"This red star is one of the brightest the sky has to offer, and has a tremendously benefic impact on the individual who puts it to work for their own benefit, but Aldebaran is also famed for its 'bullish' nature and inclined to temper tantrums. Often the anger expressed here is righteous, related to feelings of under appreciation and valuation by those around them, or simply not getting what one feels entitled to."

 

The following are BPAL x Twilight Alchemy Lab's contributions:

 

THE RED EYE OF THE BULL
"An oil of tenacity, strength, determination, and the power and success that comes from hard work well-rewarded. It is an oil of ambitions achieved through perseverance, and it is a catalyst for prosperity, increased status, and material gain. The Red Eye of the Bull doesn’t take anyone’s shit, doesn’t shrink from hard work, and has the drive, courage, and authority to make its earthly dreams manifest.

 

Frankincense oil, tears, and CO2 extract (Boswellia serrata), dragon’s blood resin (Daemonorops draco), organic milk thistle (Silybum marianum), clove essential oil, CO2 extract and bud (Syzygium aromaticum), organic Atlas cedarwood essential oil (Cedrus atlantica), organic Western red cedar essential oil (Thuja plicata), bay laurel essential oil and leaves from the TAL garden (Laurus nobilis), Calabrian bergamot essential oil (Citrus bergamia), angelica root and essential oil (Angelica archangelica) and angelica CO2 extract (Angelica sinensis), and garnet chips washed in red wine and bourbon."

 

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL ANOINTING OIL
"This is an all-purpose anointing oil that has been dedicated to and consecrated under the auspices of Archangel Michael, and was further empowered during a novena leading up to Michaelmas. It is highly purifying, sanctifying, and protective, and is particularly useful in cleansing a person, object, or space of baneful, malevolent influences. Its protective power is hot and fiery - triumphant, potent, and fearsome.

 

Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carteri), Atlas cedar essential oil (Cedrus atlantica), angelica essential oil and root (Angelica archangelica), calamus root and essential oil (Acorus calamus), benzoin resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis), cinnamon essential oil and bark (Cinnamomum verum), Roman chamomile essential oil (Chamaemelum nobile), and single-origin organic olive oil."

 

THE SWORD OF ST. MICHAEL
"This is an oil of battle and protection. The Sword of St. Michael is particularly effective in protecting the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the meek, and it grants strength, courage, and determination to those whose spirits are flagging. It can be utilized for both offense and defense, and is effective not only as a personal guardian, but also in workings that protect communities that are imperiled from those in power who wish to exploit, harm, or victimize them.
