{"product_id":"the-vipers-nest","title":"The Vipers Nest","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Viper’s Nest is a one-of-a-kind offering, and a truly special one at that, brought to form and function beneath the light of Algol. At its heart are three separate charge bundles, each given form and purpose as a serpent’s head and each carrying a distinct purpose: one for aggressive protection, one for aggressive maleficia and cursing, and a third that rules over them both, granting the one who takes on the pact of the bottle control over their combined force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore I go into what composes these bundles and their myriad purposes, lets look at what Hermes Trismegistus and Agrippa say about Algol:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It makes the bearer bold and magnanimous, and preserves the members of the body sound; and it protects against witchcraft and evil enchantments.\" - Hermes Trismegistus on the fifteen fixed stars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The image of Algol is the head of a man cut off at the neck; it bestoweth good success to petitions, maketh the bearer bold and magnanimous, preserveth the members of the body sound, and helpeth against witchcraft, and reflecteth evil endeavours and wicked incantations upon our adversaries.\" - (Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, III.47).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Heliacal Rise of Algol for my location, I built the initial charges of each of these bundles by bringing together: meteorite, diamond, red coral, black hellebore, wormwood, snake vertebrae, rattlesnake skin with the glyph of Algol inscribed on it, ash of a fire lit for Algol, bird feather and bone reduced to ash, Hellebore leaf that was collected during the height of the Fall 2021 Moon conjunct Algol lunar eclipse during totality, gator paw, myrrh, snake root, and others left unnamed all sealed in cloth that had been marked by the sigil of The Starry Mother.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these base bundles was then added to and formed in its own direction as this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBundle One\u003c\/b\u003e is a fully formed charge of Algol with all of the materia above, with further additions of seven raw black diamonds fed and empowered on the Heliacal Rise of Algol, ashes of Rooster, powdered hand bone, master root, and carnelian among other materia left hidden.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBundle Two\u003c\/b\u003e, the head of aggression, was additionally given blackthorn spines, powdered snake, powdered wolf tooth, spider, raw black diamond, belladonna, dirt from three places known for their malefic potential, black dog hair, moth, Haus’ Cursing Powder, and others.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBundle Three\u003c\/b\u003e, the head of defense, was given madder root, mandrake root and leaf, fire ant, an ice like rough diamond consecrated and fed on the Heliacal Rise of Algol, Agrimony, snake root, Haus’ Protection Powder, and others left unnamed.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this was set to swim in a liquid body containing, similarly to the base heart charge: wormwood, ash of a fire lit for Algol, bird feather and bone reduced to ash, Hellebore leaf that was collected during the height of the Fall 2021 Moon conjunct Algol lunar eclipse during totality, myrrh, snake root, and others. The outside of the bottle is beaded in carnelian and garnet, with three bone-shaped pieces of Red Coral. Each of these stones have been washed in oils of Algol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a practical note, the Vipers Nest is for all work with Algol, being capable of drawing on the virtues of the star of its birth for any working under the purview of Her virtues. Additionally, one spirit that resides within the bottle holds great potencies for all works of aggressive defense, being capable of protecting through the gaze of Algol and turning all malefica back to the one who sent it. The third head, and the most dangerous, is a serpent poised with envenomed fangs ready to work all manner of maleficia and cursing on those that it is sent out against. Instructions for working all three heads that swim in this nest are provided with the fetiche-bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor clarity, this is what I would truly consider a “Mother Bottle” of oil - and here there is only one. Beyond being what I would consider \"Mother Bottles\", I would also classify these as “fetiche object” insomuch as saying that they are power objects - carriers of spirits meant to be worked. This bottle, if you choose, can be worked without ever removing a single drop of oil from the bottle, though dispensing the oil brings a different type of boon. These individual bottle contains a single spirit bound to the charge-bundles that float within the heart of the oil. Each spirit is pacted to the oil and both lives in and works through the liquid oleum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vipers Nest (8 fl oz) will arrive with detailed instructions and suggestions for use and with a 1fl oz glass bottle of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hausofophidious.com\/collections\/algol\/products\/algol-oil-1\" title=\"Algol Oil\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlgol Oil\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus Of Ophidious LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45234757304363,"sku":null,"price":421.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7255\/7625\/files\/FullSizeRender_75d3aeb9-d872-4e77-bd62-f8d4a6675c3e.heic?v=1788126331","url":"https:\/\/hausofophidious.com\/products\/the-vipers-nest","provider":"Haus Of Ophidious LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
