Magickal Incense,Oils and Tinctures

Adonis Samhain and Adonis Beltane

2 parts myrrh (sweet myrrh if you can find it)

1 part bay leaf

1 part gum arabic

1 part red rose petals or 9 pomegranate seeds (depending on the season)

Enough Adonis or myrrh oil to bind

If you are making and using this mixture between Samhain

and Beltane, use the pomegranate seeds. If you are making and

using it between Beltane and Samhain, then use the rose petals.

Incidentally, with pomegranate seeds, this is an excellent choice

of incense for all matters of death, and makes a wonderful general

incense choice for Samhain. The same is true of the version

with rose petals and Beltane, or celebrations of life’s victory over

death. The pomegranate seeds represent the cold darkness of

death that is necessary to bring the warm light of life. Each is

necessary for life to continue.

An offshoot of this recipe is “Life and Death incense/tincture.”

Instead of choosing between rose petals and pomegranate,

combine nine pomegranate seeds with one-half ounce rose petals.

Then, add that mixture to an ounce of myrrh or sweet myrrh

and a half ounce of both bay and gum arabic.

Incenses and tinctures of the astrological signs

Although designed as incense, these combinations work great as the stuffing for dolls that will represent people in your spells. Fill the doll with the mixture associated with that person’s

zodiac symbol. In spellcraft that calls on you to think of a specific person, either living or dead, burn that person’s zodiac incense while attempting to concentrate on the person. This is particularly useful in dream work and healing the past.You do not have to be focused on a specific person to use these recipes. Find a copy of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs and

look up the attributes you would like to manifest in an as-yet undiscovered friend or lover. Determine which sun sign offers the most promise of those attributes. Create two dolls, one filled with the mixture associated with your sun sign and one associated with the sun sign that corresponds to the attributes you seek in a friend or lover. Place these dolls on separate sides of a table. If it is a lover you are trying to attract, put them on a bed. Each day over the course of a month, bring these dolls closer and burn their incenses separately, but closer, each day. On the last day, tie the dolls together in a manner befitting your intent. Friends would most likely be joined at the hand. Burn their incense right next to each other such that the smoke blends together.

Incenses and tinctures of the elements

stones or altars in Wiccan ritual to invite that element (or Watchtower)

to watch over the rite. When charging tools, pass those

tools through the smoke of corresponding elemental incense.

Earth. Bathe the tool in its smoke.

Incenses and tinctures of the chakras and

primary colors

The chakra incenses are used when working with key parts

of the body and the energy patterns that are associated with that

part of the body. If you are preparing these mixtures for use as

tinctures, ordinary food coloring can be used to match the tinctures’

appearance to its intent.

These incenses are also very effective ways to promote the

emotions associated with individual colors and their corresponding

chakra. If you wanted to set the mood for a lustful romantic

evening, burn the Red/Root Chakra blend during dinner. Be

warned that there isn’t a great deal of distance between lust and anger. Burn this one too long and it is sure to become an annoyance.

Magickal Oils

When choosing the essential oils for a mixture, most people

research the lore behind the essential oils (scented material). Few

people give much thought to the base oil. Most references to base

oils are more interested in the oil’s longevity than in the properties

found in lore. This is unfortunate, as the base oil is typically

the largest component of a magickal oil blend. Magickal oils

should be used shortly after they are made, so concerns about

rancidity should not be an issue. If they are, add three drops of

wheat germ oil to each half ounce preparation to help prevent

the oils from spoiling.

Base oils

Almond Oil [masculine] (associated god forms: Chandra, Jupiter,

Liber Pater, Ptah, Wotan, and Zeus): There are several varieties

of almond oil. Look for one with the lightest scent of its

own, as strong scents are a sign of artificial additives. It is the oil

of choice when the finished product will be used for massage.

Because its element is Air, it is an excellent base to use for the

consecration and empowering of wands and other tools associated

with Air. Lore also tells us that its powers are often used to

attract prosperity and wisdom, making it an excellent base for

both of these uses.

Apricot Kernel [feminine]: This is rarely seen in magickal formularies,

which is sad because I have found it to be the best base

oil on which to build love-drawing formulas. Its lore also indicates

it to be a good base for projects where you wish to look

good, as in courtship or a job interview.

Avocado oil [feminine]: This is a great choice if the oil you are

building is designed to inspire lust in either sex. It is also a good

base for the ritual anointing (not consecration) of the wand when

a female anoints the wand. This is often the case when the full

sexual nature of Wiccan rituals is present in symbolic form. The

Priest/Host holds the wand as the Priestess/Hostess anoints it.

Coconut Oil [feminine] (Associated god form: Mars): This is an

excellent base for oils whose intent is protection or to promote

purity. However, it is very thick at room temperature and may

have to be warmed to blend. Once it cools, it will become thick

and possibly solid again. This is beneficial if the mixture must

travel. Because its element is Water, it is an excellent choice for

consecration and empowering of chalices and cauldrons. It is also

a good base for oils that will be used in conjunction with Water

energy and the West Quarter. When we combine the element,

gender, and lore, it seems the perfect base on which to build oils

to protect pregnant women and newborns.

Grapeseed Oil [feminine] (Associated god forms: Bacchus,

Dionysus, Liber Pater): This has very interesting lore. The plant from which it comes is also the plant from which the Greek and Roman pagans made wine. Naturally, there is an association drawn to Dionysus and Bacchus, whose devotees were said to be mostly female. It is also associated with Heather (a fertility goddess), so its associations can be seen as indulgence and fertility. Isn’t that always the way?

Hazelnut Oil [masculine]: Considered lucky in its own right, its planetary association is the Sun. It is an excellent base for general good luck and wishing. Like most things derived from nuts, this oil is also considered a good oil for fertility. What? A male oil for fertility? Of course! Nuts and other phallic symbols have long been used in fertility rites and customs. This is an excellent oil on which to base mixtures for Beltane and for the blessings of a Maypole, as well as wands and other phallic symbols.

Jojoba: This is not actually an oil. It is a wax that remains liquid at room temperature. The down side to using jojoba is its price.The upside is that it will never become rancid, so you do not need to add wheat germ oil as a preservative. Jojoba was used by Native American tribes (especially the Apache) long before European settlers arrived in Northern America. Jojoba originates in the seeds of a shrub (Simmondsia Chinenis), which grows in what is now Southern California. It is interesting to note that prior to its use in the cosmetic industry, its predecessor was oil taken from the sperm whale. Fortunately, jojoba has all of the properties of sperm whale oil (except for the smell), but does not require the senseless slaughter of such a magnificent animal. Because it does not go rancid, it is the perfect base to use when you do not know when the finished product is going to be used. For this reason, it is the only oil I recommend for use in gift or commercial oils. No one wants to receive or purchase an oil to later find it has gone rancid.

Olive Oil [masculine] (Planetary association: sun; Associated

god forms: Apollo, Brahma, India, Jupiter, Mars, Poseidon,

Wotan): Olive oil is associated with healing and good health. It is

also used as the base for home protection, luck, and lust-inspiring

oils. With and without being blended with essential oils, olive

oil has been used for anointing for a long time.

Palm Oil [masculine]: Brings sexual potency to men and fertility

to both sexes. Palm oil is a good base for mixtures designed to

protect the home.

Sesame Oil [masculine] (Associated god form: Ganesha): If worn

on the body, this is a good oil to base blends to inspire lust. Traditionally

used for home prosperity (not for the individual but

the household). The classic secret words “open sesame” probably

refer to its ability to discover secrets. Use sesame oil as the

base for truth and justice oils.

Sunflower Oil [masculine] (Associated god forms: Apollo, Helios,

Horus, Surya): This is an excellent base for oils to bring wisdom,

wise decisions, and truth. Its element is Fire, making it a good

choice for the consecration of tools associated with this element.

While there is some debate as to the elemental association of the

athame, I have found sunflower oil to be the best base for consecration

of the athame.

Essential oils and absolutes

This is the very essence of scented plant material. Various methods are used to extract the essential oils, including steam distillation and cold pressing. Absolutes are oils that have been obtained using alcohol and fat. Until relatively recently, lard (pig fat) or tallow (beef fat) was used. Today, vegetative fats are generallysubstituted for the death products. The alcohol and fat method of removing the essential oils is necessary when the scent of the plant is unstable. Most often, this will be with flowers that must be picked during certain weather conditions or times of the day. The plant material is pressed into sheets of fat and left for the fat to absorb the oils from the plant. The oils are then extracted out of the fat using alcohol. The process is much more expensive than either steam distillation or cold pressing, so when you see the word absolute next to a choice, check the price before you commit. There are almost as many potential sources of essential oils as there are plants. Almost, because there are a few plants that simply do not have a fragrant essential oil. If anyone ever tries to sell you “natural strawberry oil,” you might want to avoid the merchant in the future. While it may be possible to blend other natural oils to create a scent that smells like strawberry oil, there is no essential oil of strawberry. Be careful when purchasing essential oils. Unlike the common base oils, true essential oils can be very expensive. As a result, synthetic oils are often marketed in much the same way natural essentials are. Worse yet, some oils that claim to be made with 100 percent natural essential oils actually contain only a portion of the fragrant oil that is boldly listed on the label. If a bottle has the word Patchouli on the label and the phrase “100 percent essential oil,” you might be purchasing essential oil of Patchouli mixed with essential oil of almond (a less expensive fill oil). As each is a true essential oil, the claim is both correct and misleading. The most confusing line of oils are those who sell both true essentials and blends at the same price. To be able to offer a uniform price, the less expensive oils are sometimes sold in pure form and the more expensive oils are diluted in ratio to their expense. I suggest avoiding such products, unless you are going to examine each and every label, then purchase only the true essentials.When purchasing small quantities, true essentials will most likely come in amber glass bottles. Large quantities often come in special opaque plastic. If your oils arrive in opaque plastic, do not leave them there. Move them to amber glass at a minimum; blue glass is even better. The coloring agents help to prevent the damaging effects of light. Always store oils at a reasonable room temperature away from direct sun light.

Translating formulas for use in candles

Tinctures may be used for anointing candles, but using highly flammable substances in conjunction with most candle-making operations is incredibly dangerous.

The average kitchen contains the fixings of many above-average bombs.

If you want to use these oils to make your own candles, modify the oil recipes by skipping the base oil entirely and translating the number of drops to a ratio of pure essential oils. As an

example, lets look at

Adonis oil:

9 drops of bay oil translates to three parts

6 drops of myrrh oil translates to two parts

6 drops of rose oil translates to two parts or one part rose

geranium and one part cypress oil

When used in candles, any solid material should be ground one tablespoon per pound of wax. If using solid plant material, it should always be added to the melted wax first and allowed to blend fully and evenly before the oil is added. Add the oil in a ratio of one and one-half ounce (12 drams) per pound of wax. This is roughly the maximum amount of oil that standard candle wax will hold before it weeps or bleeds oil. You can use a much smaller ratio, but remember that the scent is important, as the scent is what will impact the mind.

Oils of the Gods

These oils are typically used in rites where a particular archetype is called in correspondence with intent. In many Wiccan rites, a candle is lit to represent both our Lord and our Lady. In rites where a specific archetype is being called, anoint that candle with the corresponding oil. The person who will be inviting the lord should anoint his wrists and other body parts where the particular archetype dictates. Such is the case with the temples of horned gods and the ankles of Mercury.

Adonis Oil

Wear this oil to bring heighten masculine beauty.

9 drops bay oil

6 drops myrrh oil

6 drops rose oil* (or 3 drops rose geranium and 3 drops cypress)

1/2 ounce of olive oil

* Note: Okay to use rose geranium if you must to save money, but I have

not had as much success drawing on his energy when I make the substitute.

I have found myself drawn to reduce the rose by 3 drops and replace

it with three drops of cypress oil, but I can find no lore to support the

switch other than my own instinct and success.

flack jacket.

intent.

1/2 ounce grapeseed oil

3 drops wheat germ oil

2 drops pine oil

2 drops sweet wine

2 raisins

Add the raisins to the blend and let them bob around in the bottle

until you use the oil.

Bacchus Oil (Better)

Following the instructions to make this oil is in and of itself a spell to

bring brothers closer together. Sometimes you’ve got to say, it’s time

to drink and talk about women. I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring

swords out to the woods on this one, but following these instructions

after a game of good-spirited competition is definitely in order. The

winner purchases the supplies.

1 part patchouli oil

1 part grapeseed oil

1 part infusion of ivy and thistle

2 tablespoons wheat germ oil

A few raisins

A couple drops pine oil to preference To make this oil, you will need one other man who won’t mind spending an evening in the woods. Bacchus oil should be created while indulging in sweet wine during the full moon of a night that does not precede a work day. It should be blended outdoors. First, make the infusion by grinding the dried herbs between your hands. Make sure to catch the falling bits on a piece of paper or cloth. Repeat this time and time again until only powder and twigs are left. Then, into a pot of water with the lot of it. That pot should never be larger than one pint. Start a fire under the pot and boil the mixture for a minimum of three hours. Do this while indulging in wine and stories about past, present, and future lovers. Bring a bag of raisins or grapes for supper and toss a few into the boiling pot as you chat. Always spill the first drink of each glass into the pot as an offering and drink fast enough that the pot does not boil away. Do not put out the fire and do not remove the pot. If it goes out on its own so be it, but if the liquid boils away, then you were not meant to have the oil. Wake after the sun rises. If, and only if, there is cool liquid left in the pot then strain the liquid. One of you adds an equal amount of patchouli oil, the other an equal amount of grapeseed oil. Each adds one tablespoon of wheat germ oil. Pour the concoction into a bottle that will hold it all, cap, and shake wildly. While the mixture is still somewhat blended, pour off one half the mixture into a second jar. Each scent one of the jars to preference with the pine oil, then trade bottles.

down and really work with a god like this, its Bacchus all the way.

Oils of the astrological signs

Astrological oils are most often used to attune representative items to a person’s astrological sign. This better helps you to associate the representation of a person with the person. However, in every case where an astrological oil is used to attune a representative item to a person, you will have better luck if you can identify an oil or perfume that they wear frequently, as this will better make the connection in your mind. These oils are also useful in making deliberate change to your internal self. After determining the traits that you would like to include in your life, refer to an astrological guide to find out which signs are associated with those attributes. Wear that sign’s oil as a personal perfume while you consider the attributes and how you can incorporate them into your life. These oils are also very useful in the creation of personal power candles. Make the candle using a combination of normal candle-making instructions, the directions listed in the beginning of this chapter, and common sense. Burn personal power candles whenever you need an extra lift in your day-to-day life. This can be done within the confines of a Wiccan ritual or (if management permits) even on your desk at work.Where a masculine or feminine version of the oil is listed, it is best to use the gender that aligns with the person’s sex. Where a distinction has not been made, the practice should be overlooked.

Oils of the chakras and primary colors

If you study the chakras in any depth, you will find that their color correspondence is not always the same from one book to the next. Recognizing the diversity on which we can draw our lore, I have made an effort to associate the chakras directly to the primary colors. There are actually many other chakras and energy points, just as there are many other colors. These oils are

used to activate the energy centers of the body, and to strengthen the aura.They can also be placed in a diffuser and used to establish an atmosphere corresponding to the attributes. If you use these oils in the making of candles, color those candles appropriately.

Fill a white sachet with celibacy incense and a few drops of this oil and

carry it with you. When you feel tempted, inhale its scent. I have noted

and candlelight is entirely too strong for it to overcome.

1/2 ounce sunflower oil (2 ounces of almond oil if used for massage)

Lust Oil (to inspire lust in a man for a woman)

Wear on the body as you would a personal perfume.

9 drops neroli oil

6 drops ginger oil

1/2 ounce apricot seed oil

Meditation Oil

Massage a drop into each temple. This is excellent but expensive oil to

use when making meditation candles.

9 drops frankincense oil

6 drops sandalwood oil

3 drops myrrh oil

1/2 ounce almond oil

Memory Oil

The difference between a fairytale and a war story is that a fairytale

starts off “once upon a time” and a war story starts off “and this ain’t

no bull.” This oil will help you remember both when old friends drop by.

It also is a great study oil. Diffuse it while you study and add a few

drops to a cloth. When taking that hard test, hold the cloth to your face

and inhale deeply. Like popcorn and the movie theater, any scent has

the ability to stir memories of the last time you smelled it, but this one

works very well. Any chant that will be used with this oil should be one

directly associated with what memories you are trying to stir. In the

case of the war stories, military cadence will do fine.

9 drops rosemary oil

9 drops peppermint oil

3 drops juniper oil

1/2 ounce base oil

Prosperity Oil

This oil should be used in conjunction with all activities in which you

hope to prosper. Wear it on the wrists as you conduct yourself in a

manner that is deserving of a raise at work. If Lotto is your game, anoint

your lottery ticket but remember that even if it cuts your odds in half,

you are still facing only a shot in millions. Better to use it in conjunction

with less risk-based endeavors.

9 drops patchouli oil

6 drops cinnamon oil

3 drops orange oil

3 drops clove oil

1/2 almond oil base

Protection Oil (general)

Used to anoint self for strength against psychic attacks and to anoint objects to charge them as talismans of protection. I received this recipe from a friend who routinely anointed his flack jacket with this mixturewhen he was a Marine. As the result of a car bomb, his left arm was torn all but loose from his body. Even with almost full use of the limb after it was re-attached, the Marines would not let him re-enlist, so he

joined the Army, where we met. He still swore by the oil because he survived. After telling this story to a friend who is a police officer, she let me place a few drops on the soft armor of her bulletproof vest. A month later, she was shot with a rifle cartridge. Even though she was not wearing the hard plate inserts that are designed to stop rifle rounds, the bullet did not penetrate her chest. Yes, she did have one heck of a bruise and, as I recall, one of her ribs was broken, but she survived. Anointing your wrists will not stop a bullet, but it might help you to remember your bulletproof vest or recognize a threat quick enough to get out of its killing zone.

6 drops cypress oil

6 drops patchouli

6 drops rose oil

1/2 ounce almond oil

Purification Oil #1 (generally for objects)

I prefer to make all of my own magickal tools, but every now and then I find something in an antique mall or flea market that feels absolutely right. Even so, I use this or a like blend to get rid of the psychic sludge that sometimes rides in on used goods. Rub a few drops on any surface that will not be damaged by oil. If the object is water safe, mix this with sea salt and a little bit of laundry detergent for a cleansing bath.

The detergent will act as an emulsifier and allow the water and oil to mix.

6 drops bay oil

6 drops benzoin oil

3 drops cinnamon oil

3 drops clove oil

1/2 ounce olive oil

Purification Oil #2 (generally for self and personal

environments)

The home is sacred space. As such, you should avoid asking anyone into it that you do not feel comfortable with. Unfortunately, we do not always have the luxury of being the only one who makes such decisions. In my case, this is the case with my roommate’s girlfriend’s mother. When it comes to psychic sludge, the woman is a leaking 55- gallon drum. Not only does this oil saturate my diffuser when she leaves;

I try to remember to place it there in anticipation of her arrival.

9 drops frankincense oil

3 drops cinnamon oil

3 drops bay oil

1/2 ounce olive oil

Sexual Energy (in men)

Of all places to put an oil with such a name, this seems to work best on your socks. To be effective for nighttime romps, place it there in the morning and wear it during the day. Then take a shower, change your clothes (especially your socks), and use an oil more befitting your partner. The psychic impression of this oil will last for many hours.

6 drops allspice berry oil

6 drops dragon’s blood perfume oil

6 rosemary oil

Strength (physical)

This works best as a massage oil when used in conjunction with deep muscle massage, but it is also used in diffusers. If you are an employer, a sneaky use of this oil is to diffuse it into the workplace when your employees will have a particularly physically active day. This is no more manipulative than providing employees with free coffee, even the scent of which has been shown to increase performance.

9 drops lemongrass oil

6 drops sandalwood oil

6 drops nutmeg oil

1/2 ounce almond oil (2 ounces if massage oil)

Success Oil (general)

The scent of this oil encourages people towards the attributes that bring success. This oil is not worn on the body. Instead, try diffusing it at the workplace or placing a few drops on the cuff of your pant legs. Be warned that excessive use will eat at the fabric.

9 drops ginger oil

6 drops cinnamon oil

1/2 ounce sunflower kernel oil

Unstress Oil

Diffuse this into the air when you want to relax. Note that this oil

does not contain fillers or carrier oils. Be especially careful not to get

this on your skin.

2 parts lavender oil

1 part benzoin oil

1 part cumin seen oils

Wisdom Oil

This scent tends to promote contemplation and consideration before

action. It is diffused, used in candles, and worn on the temples.

6 drops frankincense oil

6 drops sandalwood oil

3 drops sage oil

1/2 ounce almond oil

Wishing Oil

Anoint a ribbon selected with an appropriate color (see Chapter 9 under

chakras), write your wish on a piece of parchment paper, as many

times as will fit, on both sides. Roll up the parchment paper and tie it

with the ribbon. Burn this outdoors and see your wishes rise up with

the smoke and ash. As you do so, recite your wish over and over. Do

this each day until you receive your wish.
