Oils

"Invariance" by Jonathon Earl Bowser

Artist: Jonathon Earl Bowser - Used with permission

   

Use only genuine, authentic essential oils in your magic practices.

Genuine, authentic essential oils contain the sum of the plant's magical energies and are the most effective. The prices are definitely higher, but the oils last longer and allow you more time to build and keep a nice stock of genuine essential oils. You can purchase synthetic oils and partially diluted oils at lower prices, but the magical energies are severely weakened and in synthetics, typically have nothing to do with the actual plant. Some synthetics are effective, but there powers pale in comparison to the real oils.

To mix and blend magical oils, you will need to do the following:

Gather your essential oils called for in the recipe that you are working with. In a clean, sterilized glass jar, add 1/8 cup of one of the following vegetable oils:

  • Safflower

  • Almond

  • Sunflower

  • Hazelnut

  • Coconut

  • Grapeseed

  • Apricot Kernel

  • Jojoba

Jojoba isn't true oil, but a liquid form of wax. It will keep longer and never become rancid or spoil.

Using your recipe, add drops of essential oil to the base oil (Jojoba). Add your drops with either an eyedropper or the single drop dispensers that come with most bottles of essential oils. Rotate the oil in a clockwise direction, swirling it into the base. Never stir your oils together, always swirl them into a mixture.

Remember to store mixtures away from light, heat and moisture. An airtight container with dark or opaque coloured glass is strongly recommended. Remember to label your mixtures and make a note of their uses in your Book of Shadows

Using Oils Safely

(Source: Jenny Plucknett's Essential Aromatherapy)

  • Essential oils are potent.  Only ever measure them out in drops.

  • Never apply undiluted essential oils to the skin.

  • Never take essential oils internally

  • Never increase the dose of essential oil.  Some oils are toxic in large amounts.

  • Always keep essential oils out of reach of children.

  • Treat a splash of oil in the eye by rinsing it out with a few drops of pure, Sweet Almond oil, not water.  Seek medical advice.

  • Don't shower or bath preferably for 24 hours (12 hours if this is not possible) after an aromatherapy massage.  Oils take that long to fully penetrate the skin.

  • Don't pour the blended oil straight from a glass bottle when massaging.  Hands become slippery and the bottle could slip and break.  Instead use a bowl and dip your hands into it or put the mixture temporarily into a plastic bottle with a squirting top.

  • Don't store essential oils, pure or diluted, in plastic containers.  They could become contaminated.

Magickal Oils

As always, if you feel that a particular Essential Oil would be better suited to a purpose other than that listed below, then it will be - FOR YOU!  Everyone is different - and what works for one person, will not necessarily be as successful for another.  Your greatest tool is your intuition.

Oil Powers/Uses
Amber  love, comfort, happiness, and healing. (Amber oil is created from lesser quality amber, which is fossilized pine resin millions of years old...true amber oil is extremely rare...most amber oil is formulated from ambergris)
Ambergris  psychic powers, dreams, aphrodisiac. (This is a product of sperm whales, and was used widely for magick in the past...it is not very common presently, due to increased ecological considerations -- whales are an endangered species, and fortunately society no longer approves of the killing of animals for products such as oil) Most of the ambergris oil on the market today is artificial. For a close substitute, mix cypress oil with a few drops of Patchouli oil...

Sacred Oil to see Faeries

(Anonymous)

On the longest day of the year, faeries are busy scurrying about taking full advantage of the heated days and warm nights of the Solstice season. Faeries are small, in most cases, although some can be quite large and as mundane folks, we tend not to recognize faeries when we actually see them. At this time of year, I make a sacred oil that I lightly brush along my eyelids on Solstice eve in order too see the faeries as they dash about.

 
 Take 2 tablespoons high quality virgin olive oil and add 2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme. Mix in small clear glass bowl and set it the sun for the 2 weeks prior to Solstice. When it is finished "brewing", strain the mixture through cheesecloth into a small bottle that can be sealed tightly. Bury the cheesecloth you used for straining in a wooded area, if you are able, or close to a tree as an offering of good will to the forces of nature.
 
 Charge your completed oil with the intent of increasing awareness to see faeries and in the evenings, when you are quite alone and everything seems to be still, lightly coat your eyelids with the oil, then sit quietly and gaze into the darkness of the night. Record what you see and hear in your Book of Shadows. The faeries just might have a special message for you!

Making Essential Oils

(by Selene)

When extracting the volatile principle of a plant, you may want to do a little research on your plant first. Different plants require different parts to be used to get the most out of it, whether it is grasses, flowers, leaves, stems, bark, or roots. But generally this information is fairly easy to come by.

What you'll need is a large enamel kettle with a spout. A hose to fit snugly over the spout, about 5 feet should work best. A bowl or pan to put ice in, and a small table or chair to rest it on. A jug with an opening large enough to fit your hand into but not a very large circumference, or it will make skimming more difficult. A small dropper. A small dark clean glass bottle to hold it in. Some oils will eat through plastic, and sunlight will harm the oil. And your chosen plant material, fresh is best, ideally collected before the main heat of the day has had a chance to dehydrate your plant.

Put your plant material in your kettle and add as much boiling water as it will hold. Distilled or filtered water is best so you don't inadvertantly add anything else in the process. Bring water to a boil but don't continue to boil, reduce heat till it's stewing but not quite simmering. With your hose attached to the spout, let it drape down and lay in a pan or bowl filled with ice. Then on the floor, place your jug and let the hose rest into this. The heat will release the volatile principle of the plant and carry it in the steam through the hose. As it passes through the ice, it will cool and condense and drip into your jug. This will take about two hours, but needs little supervision during the process.  Just make sure the water doesn't completely evaporate. Then let the jug sit for about another two hours and the oil will separate and rise to the top of the water. Using the dropper, carefully skim the oil and put in your dark glass bottle and seal tightly.

Make sure and write the name and date on the bottle and store out of the reach of children in a dark cool place to prolong the life. Most oils will keep their medicinal properties for about 2 years, but the scent should last longer. Don't expect to get a large yield from this, but because it's so concentrated, for most situations only 1-2 drops is used. So basically a little is all you will need. More is not better when dealing with essential oils.  Also keep the water, as this is what is known as a hydrosil or floral water and has many uses as well.
