Magic oils

[Hairball]

I have been hearing of several magic oils recently, but I'm not sure who to ask for details on this. I guess that they are mixtures of ingredients. If anyone knows the formulas that would be cool. But I actually don't know the normal uses of these things. I have heard of Pan oil, Aphrodite oil, Hern oil and consecration oil. I can figure out the use of consecration oil at least. I was wondering what effects these oils would have, like their uses and how effective oils might be. I'm trying to do some research on oils so maybe I can start making them. I see that some witchy stores have oils you can buy. But making my own sounds like something I could do. I also wonder if there are books or sites that would give info on mixing your own oils. I just am stuck on what Hern, Pan and Aphrodite oils are.

[^^^H^^^]

okay

i know what Pan oil is, but never made it. I think it's a blend of myrrh, spikenard, and labdanum and it's used for finding treasure

Aphrodite oil, for love of course, myrtle and rose to a base of almond oil

but Hern oil? is that like Terramo oil, used to send messages and all? if so, it's made with a jojaba and cocnut oil base, then u add pure cocnut extract, peppermint, licorice the herb, and ground allspice

but i'm not sure Hern oil is that, maybe someone else knows,

Cunningham wrote a book "Oils, Incense, and Brews." There are tons of different oil recipes in there. But I bet if you googled for them, most of his stuff is on the net.

The other option would be to research what herbs and flowers are conencted to Pan, Aphrodite and Hern (is he a god? I don't recognize the name) and make your own.

I would definately suggest Googling. Actually now that im typing this I do know somewhere you might find that info. Let me know if you want me to pm the site since im not sure on the rules for posting the names of other groups here. I know some places dont like you do to that out of pms.

The blend of oil based on particular diety varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Not all Pan, Hermes, or Aphrodite oils are the same blend of ingredients.

If you are wanting to make your own, I suggest you start learning about the magical properties of each oil. If you don't have books on them, meditate and experiment with each one to learn how *you* percieve the properties. Then you can start creating your own blends.

You can also get books to help you. I'm not a fan of Cunningham, but he has some good information on magical properties of the plant. I also like Valerie Worwood's Fragrant Heavens. You can get some good recipies from books, or at least get some good ideas on how to create some for yourself.

When I create magical oils, I formulate them based on what *I* know of each individual ingredient, as well as the spirit I am working with. It involves a meditational process, and I have spent many years learning about individual essential oils to come up with the best blends for my creations.

Good luck!
