Pluto??!

[maveric]

Hi. And thanx for having me. I've been reading the forums for a while now and have found alot of good solid advice.

I guess a little about myself is in order. I'm really just a newbie when it comes to my spiritual side and haven't chosen a path for myself. I just know that the professed "Truths" out there are not all on the mark and feel that if I'm going to choose a path, then it has to make sense to me. I enjoy working with essential oils and have a small collection of them. Some of the blended fragrances are actually quite nice. Others...well... I wouldn't mix them up just for the smell...
I've spent the last few months putting together a private archive of oil blends I've come across and have amassed over 1000 recipes. Alot are doubles and triples and such. (Like "protection oil". I think I have about 10 different ones for that.) Some I've never even heard of before. Which brings me to my question(s)...
In my searches, I've never seen a recipe for Blue Moon Oil. Would there be a particular reason people do not post one? I've seen Full Moon (Which is a really nice fragrance by the way), Dark Moon and other moon oils but never Blue Moon. The same goes for Pluto Oil. Never seen it. I've seen them both for sale on different websites but never the actual recipe. I'm not looking for a recipe from those of you who read this, unless you want to share one. I'm really looking for info on why those two in particular could/would be so hard to find.

By the way, it's a personal archive here on my pc of rtf files. It's not going to be put on the web. It's just something I thought of doing when I came across different variants of particular oils blends. Makes it easier to put together a shopping list when I go to get more oils.



I just proof read this before hitting the post button, man, I come off sounding like a salesman. Sorry.:lol:

Pluto Oil?

Why would ya want an oil that smells like Mickey Mouse's dog?

Hehehe... just kiddin'... welcome to MystickWicks...

[Mòrag Elasaid Ní Dhòmhnaill]

You've no idea how funny that was to me. My inlaws seriously did not know that the planet Pluto was named after a god. As far as I could understand they really thought it was named after the cartoon dog. Disturbing...

Sorry I can't help with the oils question though maveric. I don't know much about essential oils, but welcome to MW.

Mickey Mouse had a dog?

I would guess that there are recipes for different phases of the moon because they either smell better (at least to women) during those phases, or because they work better for some piticular purpose during that phase.

Blue Moon isn't realy much of a phase, but it definatly would make a good trademark name for a secret recipe oil. Either because you use it once in a while, or because Blue Moon makes it sound cool or rare.

[maveric]

I was just curious if anyone had heard of them. For the planetary oils, it seems strange that there would be all but the one oil. As for the Blue Moon, well, it's always just kinda been a question in the back of my mind. You gotta figure with the event only coming on average once every two years, it would be something special. I've read of individual and group celebrations for it but never seen mention of an oil. The same goes for the "Black Moon". Although I wouldn't expect to find one for that quite as easily. I am impressed with the amount of knowledge and experience gathered in one location, and thought I'd pick your brains.

That's why I keep coming back here to read. Other sites sanction or moderate what is posted and don't let you get a feel for what really is going on. Kinda like getting a book with half the chapters ripped out. Here the views are broad and nothing is hidden. Practices from across the spectrum are tolerated and given equal consideration, wether accepted individually or not. I'm glad I found this site. The tolerance level of other places has left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

Thanx for your welcome and your responses,:fpraise: and I promise; if I find a recipe for "Pluto", I'll come back and post the results. If it smells anything at all like Mickey, or even Minnie for that reason, it may just be a "Don't try it". Otherwise, I'll give you all a detailed description.


On another note; has there ever been thought to a repository of sorts for this kinda thing here? I have a whole bunch of recipes to throw into the pot. Incense as well.

Hmm... good question... maybe over in the Green Room?

[LordHelmet]

One thing that might keep there from being a pluto oil is the time the planet was discovered. not that long ago. There's still debate in the astrological world as to it's significance, even though a roman God has been applied to the planet that doesn't magicly make the planet completly relateable to the God in the actual forces it manipulates.

[maveric]

Well, it's been 76 years since it was discovered. Maybe it's time to get creative and try putting a scent to it. Anyone care to offer a suggestion as to what Pluto should/could/would smell like??

[Redshire]

musty... like a house that has been closed up all year with mold growing in everything. Honestly, I like that smell.

There is debate as to wether Pluto will continue to be considered a planet by the Astronomical community... And with the discovery of Planet X which lays beyond Pluto and is much larger... are we soon to have 10 planets? Or possibly more? There are more planet-like objects out there...

you should make a Planet X oil that smells like metal and engine grease. That would be cool. :)

All this talk of "Blue Moon Oil" is making me a little nervous.....you folks are'nt going to be chasing me with a blender set on "frappe" anytime soon,are you?:awilly: _inabox_

Seriously, I would think that Blue Moon oil would be similar to Full Moon oil, except that it would be prepared on th Blue Moon and exposed out under its light, and thus have more of a "kick" than regular Full Moon oil, for those projects that basically scream to be completed. You'll have plenty of time to gather your supplies if you want to make your Blue Moon oil-the next one is not until June 30,2007, if my sources are correct:hahugh:

Wow, you're right---it really is hard to find an oil recipe for Pluto! I've got a ton of books and it's not in most of them. The closest I can find is in Scott Cunningham's Incense, Oils and Brews. It's not under "Pluto oil" per se, but under the herbs that correspond to Scorpi's (ruled by Mars and Pluto). Here's a list: (Maybe you can make your own custom blend?)

Allspice, Ambergris, Basil, Clove, Cumin, Deerstongue, Galangal, Gardenia, Ginger, Myrhh, Pine, Vanilla and Violet.

If I find anything else I'll let you know:)---shuvanilu

Here's one:)

[shuvanilu]

OK---Well this is not Blue Moon Oil, but a Blue Moon soap. Maybe you could use it as a ritual soap?? I've just been Googlin' away:

[shuvanilu]

LOL---I'm back again! OK, I found a blue moon ritual oin online. Um....but it's part of a big set of different moon phase oils, so it's a little pricey...But it DOES exist! http://www.theeyeofnewt.com/store/html/items/Moon_Phase_Oil_Collection_all_7_oils.asp

[shuvanilu]

OK---last time...I promise. They DO sell it separately:

It sounds like it would smell wonderful!!

[maveric]

Thanx Guys an Gals. I appreciate the effort. The ingredient list is new to me, so I'll experiment a little and let you know. Full moon oil smells really nice but I kinda think it would need something special to kick it to " Blue Moon". Or I could be imposing my ideals upon the situation.

I do promise... No people in the blender this time. So you can rest easy. If my dry spell (pun intended) goes on much longer though.......well, I can hide the evidence. :lol:

Buying the oil is always an option, but I have enough time to keep hunting.
recipe....recipe....where are you.......

:boing: <-- I love this guy

[maveric]

Well, I guess with the banishment of Pluto form the scheme of things, I don't really have to worry about finding the planetary oil after all. Leave it to science to destroy a 4 month old thread. (And to try and throw a kink into anything they can't nail down with a compass and protractor.):rant:

Hey science... I have some jello and a tree for you to play with.....:spaceman:

Sheesh.....


side note: still looking for Blue Moon Oil if anybody finds anything. But please don't tell science... they can get kinda funny with things like this.....

Mav :boing:

Mickey's gonna be pissed......:lol:

*shakes head* If pluto had influence before it still has it now. Why would the forces of magic bow to the fripperies of mortal scienctists?

[Aidron]

The difficulty for creating an oil aligned with Pluto may lie in the fact that it, as well as Neptune and Uranus, were unknown to the ancients and as such it will take quite some time before more thorough information such as correspondences and associations are available. While we have good ideas of their energy, which plants, stones, and the like they are in sync with can be a bit trickier.

Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm never really swayed by what others dictate. Listened, but never done a 180 unless I felt it was right for me.
This was just a veiled attempt to breathe life back into a forgotton thread.

I haven't broken down and bought BLue Moon Oil yet but I swear, this is the best kept secret I've come across yet.

Pluto oil on the other hand is quite a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. "Allspice, Ambergris, Basil, Clove, Cumin, Deerstongue, Galangal, Gardenia, Ginger, Myrhh, Pine, Vanilla and Violet." I've tried various combinations and still haven't come up with something ...err.. well... haven't come up with anything nice smelling yet. Either they're too over powered by 1 ingredient or they end up giving me a headache. Hard to mix and then smell the final product. Takes a bit for the little room I work in to clear out, so the testing is a long process.

I'll let you all know.

[Kaylara]

Maveric, I'd take it as a sign. ;)

My question about this would be how astrology would classify the new celestial bodies that science keeps finding. (Because I haven't seen them doing this yet, but they might be.)

[Wythering Wynd]

It's official now, Pluto is no longer considered a planet. I was sad to hear it on the news.

Now that it's not a planet maybe pluto oil would smell like clear?

Or lemon?
