FAST LUCK OILFast Luck Incense/Oil/Floorwash/Powder/BathPatchouli Rose Juniper color: green

RED FAST LUCKOil of Cinnamon and Oil of Vanilla, with Wintergreen. Used as above to bring luck.Cinnamon (in powder and chip form) is widely used in African-American folk-magic to drawbusiness and bring money-luck, hence its use as an essential oil makes good sense in this formula.Vanilla appears in numerous formulas for love-luck, so again, one is not surprised to find it in Fast Luck.Wintergreen is an oddity, though -- it has very few magical ascriptions, and it seems to function,in my experience, primarily as a fragrance that mediates and blends the rather contradictory aromas

of Cinnamon and Vanilla. In any case, without it, one does not get the characteristic "Fast Luck" smell.

FAST LUCKAqueous solution of Citronella. It is put in scrub water to scrub the house.It brings luck in business by pulling customers into a store.

ESSENCE OF VAN VAN10 percent Oil of Lemon Grass in alcohol.Used for luck and power of all kinds. It is the most popular conjure drug in New Orleans.Those who work with these essential oils know how similar Citronella and Lemongrass smell.Folks with botanical knowledge will also realize the close relationship between Citronella,Lemongrass, Vetivert, Palmarosa, and Gingergrass(in fact, Gingergrass is simply the lesser quality second pressing of Palmarosa grass!).As my Van Van recipe indicated, the addition of Vetivert (Khus Khus), Palmarosa, and Gingergrasswas to be in very small quantities compared to the Lemongrass and Citronella, which means thatboth Chinese Wash and Van Van Oil smell predominantly of citrusy fragrances, with smokyundertones.

DOUBLE FAST LUCKUse a tall, thin bottle. Fill it halfway up with (Red) Fast Luck Oil.Top it off with plain water that has been colored bright green with food coloring.The red oil mixture (symbolizing love and passion) will separate from the green water(symbolizing monetary wealth). To use, shake the bottle until a temporary emulsion iscreated and sprinkle it out. It will separate between uses.

HATIAN LOVER OIL (FOR MEN ONLY)Cinnamon Anise Orris Clove Sassafras color: RedAn excellent formula for men only. Very effective when used on a red female figure candle.

MONEY DRAWING OILMix equal parts of Frankincense, Myrrh Sandalwood.Add a piece of bayberry to each bottle. Add 2 Tbls. of this to 2 ounces of oil.

JOHN THE CONQUEROR OILJohn the Conqueror Oil traditionally consists of broken pieces of John the Conquerorroot (Ipomoea jalapa or I.purga) steeped in Almond or another vegetable carrier oil thathas been tinted purple (or yellow); it is customary to add essential oils as fragrance to suit.The oil can also be made with powdered I. jalapa root. Some folks strain it afterward.To enhance the actual weird scent of John the Conqueror root, from which no essentialoil can be extracted, I compound a "woodsy blend" scent, such as Cedarwood and Vetivert,which smells quite a lot like the John the Conqueror root itself.This fragrance is NOT part of the "Magick" in the oil, but it does serve as a re-enforcer ofwhat the real root smells like.Let the root fragments and/or powder sit in the oil blend at least a week before use --a month is better. The root is traditionally left in the bottle as it is used. If you are making upsmall bottles (e.g. a dram vial or 1/2 oz. bottle), you should put two or three pieces of root ineach bottle. If you work out of a large stock bottle (e.g. 4 oz. or 16 oz.) be sure to refresh theroot with new pieces each time you top up the bottle.BEWARE commercial John the Conqueror and High Conquering oils! They rarely have theroot in them. all you have to do is look in the bottle: If there is no root in it, and it was made ina factory, it's very likely a fake.

COME TO ME OILRecipes vary from person to person. They are generally floral in tone and usually red in color.Scents used in such an oil may include sweet pea and narcissus (usually only available assynthetic fragrances, not as essential oils), rose (available as a real essential oil -- calledotto or attar of roses -- but so expensive as to be prohibitively costly for most people,who therefore use a synthetic fragrance instead), rose geranium (a real essential floraloil that has a very good rose scent), and other floral synthetics, such as wistaria,honeysuckle, violet, and the like.Herbs mixed into in the finished, fragranced oil may include catnip leaf (to entice a lover),saffron stamens (for love-drawing), rose petals, (for love-drawing), Damiana leaf (to increasepassion) and/or patchouli leaf (ditto). Queen Elizabeth Root (used to attract men) may beadded to the mixture if the person using it is a female or a gay male.One difficulty many folk-magicians have with floral scents as a basis for magical perfumeoils is that so many of our favorite flowers do not produce a great deal of essential oil.When this is the case, the oil is very expensive.But that is not the greatest hurdle we must overcome.Some flowers, no matter how lovely they smell, do not produce stable essential oils at all.Whenever that is the case, essential oils from these flowers are unavailable at anycost and synthetics are the only recourse one has.The question then becomes one of deciding whether to go with an artificial fragrancethat mimics a given floral scent to a greater or lesser degree -- or to forgo that scent infavor of one that is available in actual flower-derived form.

HERBAL INFUSED OIL QUICK METHOD2 - 3 oz. dried herbs or 3 - 4 oz. fresh1 1/4 cups unblended vegetable oil (preferably sunflower or olive)A heat-proof container with a tight-fitting lid (jam jars work well)Chop the herb and put it in the container with all the oil. Put the container in a pan filledwith water to within 1 inch of the top of the container of oil. Simmer slowly for 2 hours.After 2 hours, allow the oil to cool, and strain well. Discard the spent herbs (makes lovelycompost). Refill the canister with the remaining herbs and return to the water bath (rememberto replace the lid). Simmer for another 2 hours.Be sure to check the water level occasionally so as to not burn the oil.When the oil has cooled enough to work with, pour it through a jelly bag or sieve lined withcheesecloth. If using fresh herbs, there may be a watery liquid at the bottom of the oil.This must be separated and discarded, or else it will spoil the oil over time.This oil can be used as a base for ointments, creams, or salves, or as a massage oil.

OILSAromatic oils and rectified alcohol can be combined. The oils seep into the alcohol to producean essence. Oils may be captured by evaporation from flower petals. Vegetable, nut, or fruitoils can be used as a medium for steeping aromatic plants to extract volatile oils. Aromatic oilscan also be steeped in alcohol to extract essence.To make an oil, pick your own fresh herbs or purchase dried herbs form a reputable source.Pack a large jar with the chosen herb and pour in any favorite mono unsaturated orpolyunsaturated oil. Use enough to cover the herb. Close tightly. Label the jar and place ina sunny place for several weeks. Strain out the herb by pouring through cheesecloth into a fresh jar.Hold the cheesecloth over the opening of the jar containing the herbs and secure with a rubber band.Invert the jar and pour the infused oil through the cheesecloth.Before discarding the herbs, squeeze all the oil out of them. Repeat the entire procedure.Repack a clean jar with more of the same herb. Add the infused oil, plus enough additionaloil to cover the herbs. Store again in sunlight. Strain again through cheesecloth. Pour the oilinto a labeled jar and store until needed.

FLYING OIL TO ASSIST ASTRAL JOURNEYSHere's what you'll need

1 cup pure beeswax2/3 cup of jojoba oil mixed with 1/4 cup of wheat germ oil9 drops of the pure essential oil of juniper berry9 drops of the pure essential oil of bog myrtle9 drops of the pure essential oil of sandalwood9 drops of the pure essential oil of yarrow9mL total of a combination of the pure essential oils of chamomile, rose otto, jasmine3 grams of poppy petals *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of hops *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of wormwood *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of dittany of Crete *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of passionflower *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of skullcap *do not crush or they won't strain*3 grams of lavender *do not crush or they won't strain* In a glassdouble boiler (a pot used in making candles to melt the beeswaxat a lower temperature and prevent wax fires) - do not use metal, melt the beeswaxgently using as low a heat as possible. Once the beeswax has melted, mix in half ofthe jojoba/wheat germ oil combination until it is smooth.Once the mix is smooth (you have just made the base) then add your herbs to this mixture.Once added, keep at as low a temperature as possible, stirring constantly with a woodenspoon putting your magical intention into the mixture so as to charge it (or a very clean stickwhich you sanded and created just for this purpose. Doing this increases the magical intentof the mixture and so helps give it a boost).After 33 min, ensure that the beeswax is quite liquid and use a mesh strainer you don't intendto use again to strain out the herbs from the mixture of beeswax and jojoba oil and place themix back into the glass double boiler. Don't worry if you still have some herb in it however theherb will decay and so this shortens the life of your mix. By this time, if you have kept yourmixture at a constant low temperature, you should notice that it has a slightly different consistencyfrom cooling. Now combine the remaining jojoba oil and the wheat germ oil with the mixture theflower based essential oils (jasmine, rose, etc) in a separate container. Before the beeswax andjojoba oil mix begins to harden and without adding more heat, add first the pure essential oils(bog myrtle, juniper berry, etc) then the essential oils and base oils mix .This needs to be done when the mixture is as cool as possible but still fluid as essential oilsare volatile and lose potency when heated to too high a temperature.Now that you have finished you can pour your mix into glass, heatproof jars (as it will still be warm)and let it cool. Cap only after it has cooled and store in a cool, dark place. I suggest storing it inthe fridge with the jar tightly capped to avoid moisture getting in. Use within a month -this mixtureis not suitable for long term storage but can last under perfect conditions for 2 - 3 months.This ointment is potent. Use it carefully and treat it with respect as you should all herbs andessential oils. Just because they are herbs, doesn't mean they are safe. To use, apply first asmall amount to the inside of your elbow to check for reactions. Then if it is safe, apply a smallamount in a thin coating to the inside of your wrist and a small amount to your temples.For faster absorption, spread a thin coating on the soles of your feet. While books which talkabout flying ointments suggest smearing it all over your body, I do not recommend this approach.Keep this mix away from your eyes nose, mouth and other sensitive areas of your body.Contrary to what you may have read on the web, this should *not* be placed in the genitalarea of the body. Do *not* ingest this mixture. As this mixture contains oils with contraindications,I suggest that you avoid using this mix if you: are pregnant, have high blood pressure, have ahistory of mental illness, or if you are suffering from prolonged insomnia.Alternate base combinations - these vary in room temperature state from quite solid to quite liquid.You can vary the firmness of the mixture you need by altering the amount of beeswax or oil used -more beeswax for a firmer mix, more oil or a softer mix.

Recipes for bases are guidelines only and after adding herbs or oils, you may feel the need toadjust the firmness. I suggest placing a teaspoon of the mix in the freezer to checkfor firmnessbefore adding more wax or oil. There is no need for tincture ofbenzoin as is so popular with some recipes as this tincture is used for mixtures containing ashortening or fatty base where the fat is solid at room temperature.

DISTILLING OILThe most important production method for Essential oils is distillation.The basic principle of distillation is the same but it is carried out in different waysdepending on the botanical material and the condition of the material.Three types of distillation are used:1. Water2. Water and steam3. Direct steamDistillation is basically, producing steam. The steam is passed through the herbal material.The steam carries the Essential oil from the plant in suspension which means the droplets ofessential oils are not dissolved in the steam but remain separate as droplets of oil.When the steam is cooled it reverts to the liquid state which is water and in most cases theoil floats on the surface of the water. The oil is then separated from the water by dripping or pouring.1. Water distillation is used when the plant material has been dried and will not be damaged by boiling.It is also used for powdered materials such as powdered almond, and flowers, such as orangeand rose, that need to float freely as they tend to lump together when just steam is passedthrough them. The material comes into direct contact with the boiling water and much careneeds to be taken that the water does not boil away and cause the plant material to burn.Another example of an oil prepared by this method is turpentine gum. Turpentine gum iscollected from a species of Pine (Pinus palustris) and the gum, wood chips and pine needlesare placed in the distilling chamber with rain water. This mixture is heated until the plantand oil are condensed in the condensing chamber. Turpentine oil is not affected by very excessive heat.2. The second method of distillation is water and steam.This is used for either fresh or dried plant material that would be damaged by boiling.The plant material is supported on a perforated grid.The water level is below the grid and low pressure, wet steam passes through the plant material.The most important aspect of this method is that the steam is never really hot and always at lowpressure. Cinnamon and clove oils are prepared by this method.3. Direct steam distillation is similar to the second method but the steam is hotter and passedthrough the plant material at a higher pressure. This method is used for fresh plant materialthat has a high boiling point such as seeds, roots and wood. It is also used for fresh plantmaterial such as peppermint and spearmint.The crop is cut and placed in a metal distilling tank on a truck.Steam is forced through the fresh herbs and the oil droplets are carried by the steamthrough a vapor pipe at the top of the tank onto a cool condensing chamber.Cold Pressing or Expression:This method is mainly used to prepare citrus oils such as orange, lemon and tangerine.One method involves puncturing the oil glands by rolling the fruit over sharp projections thatactually pierce the oil glands. The fruit is then pressed which removes the oil from the glands.It is then washed off with a fine spray of water. The juice is extracted by another tube.The oil is then separated from the water by rotating it at a very high speed.Another method involves separating the peel from the fruits and then cold pressing them.The Essential oil is collected along with small amounts of juice, which is separated.Enfleurage:This is an old method which was used in the production of perfumes and pomade extracts for perfumery.Flower petals such as rose or jasmine are layered onto warm oils, cold fat or wax.

This process is repeated each day until the base is saturated with the Essential oil.The resulting waxes or pastes contain up to 1 percent of Essential oil.The Essential oil is then extracted from the wax with a volatile liquid such as ethyl alcohol.In the final step the ethyl alcohol is evaporated at low temperatures and reducedpressure so that the pure Essential oil remains as a fairly thick liquid. Cold enfleurage hasthe advantage that even the most delicate components of the flower oils are preserved.The disadvantages are that it is not very effective and it is very expensive.Flower oils prepared with this method do not contain terpene-hydrocarbons, which indicatesthat these compounds are not present as such in the flower, but form during distillation.Solvent ExtractionThis is the most widely used modern method to prepare oils from flowers.The petals are mixed into a volatile solvent such as petroleum, ether or benzene,until the Essential oil is completely dissolved in the solvent. The solution is then filteredand the solvent is evaporated at reduced pressure. The result of solvent extraction is a concrete.The solvent is removed from the concrete by vacuum pressure without the use of heat to avoidany harmful effect to the oil. The concentrated essence that results is called an absolute.Absolutes are highly concentrated flower products without the natural waxes.The main advantage of extraction over distillation is that uniform temperatures are maintainedthroughout the process. High temperatures during the distillation process can produce alteredchemical composition of the oil which alters the natural odor. However, this method is expensivecompared to distillation, and chemicals or solvents used in the process may still be present after evaporation.'Glycerin will extract the following - sugars, enzymes (dilute), glucosides, bitter compounds,saponins (dilute), and tannins. Absolute alcohol will extract the following - alkaloids (some),glycosides, volatile oils, waxes, resins, fats, some tannins, balsam, sugars, and vitamins.'you would use the solvent that will give you the healing properties that you need out ofthe plant. And for those that don't like the alcohol taste, or bite, the tincture can be mixedin hot water and left for a few minutes to evaporate most of the alcohol off.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR OWN INFUSED OILS AT HOMEThere is nothing more satisfying than gathering a basket of fresh jasmine, honeysuckle orrose blossoms on a warm summers day and then preparing your own infused oil.There are three methods for preparing an infused herbal oil. You can use fresh or dried herbs.Flowers are best fresh, although the perfume of some flowers intensifies with drying suchas gardenia, daphne and boronia. If using fresh, double the quantity as all recipes givenare for dried herbs. If using fresh herbs for any of these methods leave the herbs to wilt forsix hours to reduce their water content which will spoil the final product.WATERBATH METHOD15 gm (1/2 oz) dried or if fresh use 30 gm (1 oz) herb (this is the total amount so if you areusing a blend make sure you do not have more than this) 1 cup of oilMeasure the herbs and oil and mix the oil to the herbs in a stainless steel bowl.Heat over water bath (a saucepan 1/4 filled with water) also known as a double boiler,which should be simmering. Make sure the bowl is not sitting on the bottom of the pot but isfloating in the water. Keep the lid on the oil. Stir occasionally and simmer for 30 minutes.Watch the oil does not get too hot. It should not smoke or bubble. It can burn easily andwill develop an acrid smell if it overheats, which is very difficult to disguise.Strain through four layers of butter muslin or some other very fine non-metal strainer.Strain twice if necessary as it is important to get all herbs out of the oil to prevent theherbal oil from going rancid or moldy. Essential oils can be added at this stage for perfumeand added therapeutic benefits.SOLAR METHODUse the same quantities of herbs and oil as for the waterbath method or approximately 3tablespoons of finely cut herbs to 300ml (10 oz) of oil. The quantity of herb can be increasedto produce a stronger oil.Put the herbs in a jar with a tight fitting lid and pour over the oil. Make surethe herbs arecompletely covered with oil. Add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white wine to

help break down the plant material. Leave the jar to sit in the sun all day and in a warmcupboard at night for two weeks. Strain through four layers of muslin. This process can berepeated two to three times to give a stronger oil.The final product should be strong enough to leave an aroma when massaged on the skin.Always test infused oils on the skin. Don't rely on just your nose.CROCKPOT METHODUse the same quantities of herbs and oil as for Waterbath method.Place the herbs and oil in a crockpot and leave on a low heat for two hours.Follow the recipe above for straining.

TO PRESERVE OILSThis is only necessary if you are preparing large quantities that you intend to store.1. Add 1/4 tsp. simple tincture of Benzoin to 1 cup vegetable oil.Tincture of Benzoin is prepared from the gum of an Indonesian tree,Styrax Benzoin. Make sure it is simple tincture of Benzoin. Compoundtincture of Benzoin, also known as Friars Balsam, is not suitable.2. Add 500 I.U. of natural mixed Tocopherols or Vitamin E to 1 cup of vegetable oil.

TO MAKE A LINAMENTFirst infuse the plant in oil. Do this by baking at low heat (120-170 degrees) in a glasspan with herb and oil together, stir occasionally. Then strain with cheesecloth and afunnel to separate plant material from the oil. Squeeze out the cheesecloth. Thengrate beeswax and add to hot oil, maybe heating again over a double boiler on the stove.Pour the viscous green stuff into jars and allow to cool. Can keep in the fridge for a longer shelf life.Also, adding vitamin E oil to the mixture helps preserve it.

FLYING OINTMENT8 parts beeswax to 1 part vegetable oil2 parts beeswax to 1 part lanolin and 1 part almond oil5 parts beeswax to 1 part base oil3 parts beeswax to 1 part jojoba oil1 part beeswax to 1 part almond oil3 parts almond oil to 1 part beeswax4 parts oil to 1 part beeswax8 parts olive oil to one part beeswaxOf the several existing possible translations of the original Latin recipe, all contain herbswhich are poisonous but which may bring on a common experience which is what hasbeen described as the Witch's Sabat. A combination of the deadly thornapple, henbane,deadly nightshade, wild celery and parsley (presumably to combat that horrible 'morningafter the Sabat before' breath) were used in a base of hog's fat and this was applied totwo participants who had no notion of what it would do, what witches apparently did orany knowledge of flying ointments. They both described similar visions of orgiastic ritesperformed by demons which begs the question of whether this particular poisonouscombination taps our collective unconscious or a race memory. We may never knowas those are so deadly, it is unlikely research could possibly proceed. This has legalalternatives to henbane, datura, monkshood, cowbane, mandrake, and other reputedingredients of the ancient flying ointments.

ROMANCE MAGNET OIL2 drops ylang ylang oil 2 drops sandalwood oil 2 drops clary sage oilTo attract love, rub Romance Magnet Oil onto a pink candle and then burn it for threehours a day, every day, until the person makes an advance. When used for an existingrelationship, the ritual may be ended when harmony is established or resumed.If you have no one special in mind, burn the candle until a potential lover appears.The candle should be snuffed rather than blown out, the reason being that a spirit

resides in the flame and to blow it out would blow your prayer or wish away.

LOVE OILOn a Friday evening when the Moon is waxing gather a little orris root, an earthen bowl and aquantity of pure olive oil. If you are a woman also have a vial of jasmine oil or pachouli for men.Lay a pink cloth on the altar. Light pink candles.Pour the orris root into the earthen bowl, then add about half a cup of olive oil.Stir with the forefinger of your strong hand seven times clockwise.Now add the essential oil, no less than three drops, no more than seven.Place the bowl on the altar. Gaze into it, infusing the oil with your desire for love.Enchant it by saying:Love, love, love, love, love, love, love.Simple and to the point, right? You might want to substitute a favorite love poem or sonnet.Pour the oil into a jar and cork it tightly.Leave in a dark place, surrounded by the pink altar cloth, for 7 days.Upon the next Friday night uncork the bottle, strain and then store in the same bottle until needed.Love oil should only be worn by its creator.

OINTMENTSWhen the subject of Witches' ointments is mentioned, the infamous "flying ointments"immediately come to mind, at least to those with some interest in the history of Witchcraftand magick. These salves, consisting of psychoactive plants steeped in a fattybase, were rubbed onto the skin to aid in what is known today as astral projection.These are not the only types of ointments known to Witches and magicians, however.Many others have more earthly uses that correlate to those of oils. In fact, any of the oilsmentioned in the Oil section can be converted to ointments simply by adding them to meltedbeeswax, lard or (in today's world) vegetable shortening.However made, ointments should ideally be kept in crystal or porcelain containers.Realistically, any jars with tight-fitting lids will dofine. Keep ointments away from heat and light. Be warned - though most of the ointmentsdiscussed in this section are fairly innocuous, some of them are poisonous and may be lethal.By including them in this work, there is in no way advocating use of such hazardous mixtures.These ointments form a part of herb magic of long-gone days, and so are included here solelyfor their historical interest.MAKING OINTMENTSOintments are easily made.They consist simply of herbs or oils and a base.In the past, hog's lard was the preferred base because it was readily available, but vegetableshortening or beeswax produces the best results.The base must be a greasy substance that melts over heat but is solid at room temperature.Some herbalists actually use dinosaur fat (I.e., Vaseline, which is prepared from petroleum)!There are two basic ways to create magical ointments.THE SHORTENING METHODGently heat four parts shortening over low heat until liquefied. Watch that it doesn't burn.Add one part dried herbal mixture, blend with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed, andcontinue heating until the shortening has extracted the scent. You should be able to smell it in the air.Strain through cheesecloth into a heat-proof container, such as a canning jar.Add one-half teaspoon tincture of benzoin to each pint of ointment as a natural preservative.Store in a cool, dark place, such as the refrigerator. Ointments should last for weeks or months.Discard any that turn moldy, and lay in a fresh batch.THE BEESWAX METHODThis process creates a more cosmetic ointment without a heavy, greasy feeling.It is best to prepare it with oils rather than herbs, as it is difficult to strain.If possible, use unbleached beeswax. If not, use what you can find.

Chip it with a large, sharp knife so that you can pack it into a measuring cup.Place one-fourth cup or so of beeswax in the top of a double boiler (such as a coffee canset into a larger pot of water). Add about one-fourth cup olive, hazelnut, sesame or someother vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until the wax has melted into the oil.Remove from the heat and let cool very slightly, until it has just begun to thicken.(This step is taken so that the hot wax won't evaporate the oils.)Now add the mixed oils to the wax.Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon and pour into a heat-proof container.Label and store in the usual way.In the recipes that follow, the recommended method of preparation will be mentioned.EMPOWERING OINTMENTSOnce the ointment is made and has cooled in its jar, empower it with its particular magical need.This vital step, remember, directs the energy within the ointment, readying it for your ritual use.USING OINTMENTSOintments are usually rubbed onto the body to effect various magical changes.As with oils, this is done with visualization and with the knowledge that the ointment will do its work.

HOW TO MAKE OILSThere are four common methods used for making oils.Each of these methods is highly effective and is used professionally as well as for home use.Solar Infusion Method Using the simplers' measure, place the desired amount ofherbs and oil in a glass jar. Cover tightly. Place the jar in a warm, sunny spot.In Europe and the Mediterranean the jars are placed in sandboxes to attractgreater amounts of heat. Let the oil/herb mixture infuse for two weeks.People always ask why the oil doesn't go rancid sitting out in the hot sun.According to natural laws, it should. But for some magickal reason, it seldom does.I believe it's because of the alchemical fusion of the sun, the herbs, and the oil.But once strained, the oil will definitely go rancid very quickly if left in the hot sun.At the end of two weeks, strain the herbs, rebottle your beautiful herbal oil, and store itin a cool dark area. If you wish a stronger oil, add a fresh batch of herbs to the oil, andinfuse for two more weeks. This will double the potency of your medicinal oil.OVEN EXTRACTION METHODPlace the oil/herb mixture in a pan with a tight-fitting lid or in glass canning jars.Put the pan and/or jars in a larger pan with sufficient water to cover up the bottom half of thecontainer. Turn the oven on the lowest temperature possible and allow the herbs and oil toinfuse for several hours. Check frequently to prevent the oil from overheating and burning.DOUBLE BOILER METHODPlace the herbs and oil in a double boiler, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and bring to a low simmer.Slowly heat for one-half to one hour, checking frequently to be sure the oil is not overheating.Then lower the heat, and the longer the infusion, the better the oil.

This is a quick and simple method that appeals to many modern-day herbalists.Oil heats up very quickly. Be mindful of the temperature.Your preparation can quickly go from a nice herbal oil infusion to deep-fried Comfrey leaves.CROCKPOT AND ELECTRIC OVEN ROASTER METHODBoth Crockpots and electric oven roasters allow for a long, slow cooking process.The roaster is most often used by small professional companies making quality herbal products.The herbs can macerate in the oil for a long period of time (two to four weeks) and the resultingoil is of a superior quality. Electric roasters can often be found quite inexpensively at bargainshops and second-hand stores.Place the herbs and oil in the Crockpot or roaster and turn to the lowest heat. Place the lidon and let the mixture steep for the desired length of time. The heat is generally higher in theCrockpot and usually two to four hours is sufficient to prepare good-quality herbal oils.Check frequently to protect against overheating and burning. In the roaster, the herb/oil mixturecan steep for two to four weeks. It gives a superior, dark-green herbal oil.There are several approaches to creating a magickal herbal oil. One, the most difficult, is to usean extractor and extract the pure essential oils yourself It involves complex equipment, but isrewarding for the serious practitioner. The results are pure, essential oil. There are severalapproaches to creating a magickal herbal oil. One, the most difficult, is to use an extractor andextract the pure essential oils yourself. It involves complex equipment, but is rewarding for theserious practitioner. The results are pure, essential oils which can be used in a variety of ways.Pure oils of an essential, volatile nature may also be purchased commercially. It is important toknow that many of these are too strong to use directly upon the skin, but make excellent incenseby merely placing a couple drops upon a burning piece of charcoal. These oils may also be usedwith a fixative, or carrier, such as olive, sunflower, or other oils.FIXATIVE OILThe simplest means of making your own oil is to begin with a fixative oil. This is placed in a sturdypan, and to it are added herbaceous parts which have a high content of natural oil within thecellular structure. You may wish to use the flowering parts, or leaves, and in some cases the root.Gently bring this to warmth, stirring carefully. Never allow it to boil, and you may accomplishexcellent results by avoiding even a "hot" temperature. This process may be repeated severaltimes over a day or more.Thus, the natural oils within the herb are released into solution with the fixative, as they are soluble in oil.There are many recipes for oils. The herbs are chosen according to their meaning and attributes.A personal mixture may be made by combining equal parts of three herbs: one for theSun sign, one for the Moon sign, and one or the ascendant, or rising sign.One might also make a protective oil, by combining several herbs known for their ability togive protection, the individual choices made by preferences of scent. It is important toexperiment. One means of trial and error for finding compatible scents is to take smallamounts of the dried herbs and grind them together. Smell deeply of the aroma, and feelhow it suits you. To make these, fill a jar to within ½ inch from the top with almond oil.Then add crushed herbs till it is full. Steep in a sunny window for 1 moon cycle, rotating each day.Strain out the herb and bottle. These can be added to bath salts, soaps or used for anointing candles.

OILS ESSAYRose is used for love magic. Real essential oil of roses (rose otto or attar of roses)is so expensive that most people use either essential oil of rose geranium or artificialrose oil as a substitute. Rose has nothing at all to do with raw power or domination.Frankincense is a spiritual scent and is also used for power. It could be used inEssence of Bend-Over, but it is a little on the "nice" side for it to carry the entireweight of true domination work in this formula.Honeysuckle is primarily used as a fragrance, and, being floral, it is a frequentingredient in love potions. The plant itself is a vine that has no strong magicalconnotations that I know, and what's stranger, real essential oil of honeysuckle is unstable,so most makers use the artificial, synthetic aroma.

Looking at honeysuckle from the perspective of the "doctrine of signatures,"one could say that it grows upon trees and somehow dominates them, but it certainly does notmake them bend to its will -- and other vines of similar twining habit, such as periwinkle,are always used in love-and-marriage formulas, because of their clinging natures.In short, honeysuckle might be good for love-domination (as an ingredient in Follow me)Vetivert is one of the five "Asian Grasses" that is used (in a very small proportion) in VanVan Oil and, as such, it is a spiritual cleanser and luck-changer. It is not particularly associatedwith efforts of will or domination. So this recipe for Bend-Over, although very commonlyencountered in the Anglo-Saxon world of aromatherapy and playful spell-cookery -- anddespite its wonderful fragrance -- is not exactly what I'd call a powerful aid to dominationor willful control of another's mind or activities through the doctrine of sympathetic magic asdeveloped by root-workers. A look through any good magical herbal will reveal that there arethree herbs often recommended for control and domination. They arecalamus root licorice root bergamot leaf or essential oil of bergamotCalamus root produces an essential oil and it is also available as chips or powder,which can be steeped in a carrier oil.Licorice root is available as chips or powder, to steep in carrier oilBergamot is a citrus-relative. Its essential oil must be diluted in a carrier oil becausesome folks are skin-sensitive or allergic to it in strong concentrations.Calamus root is white and licorice root is a deep yellow-brown. When the two are placedwith essential oils of bergamot and calmus root and a few grains of frankincense in acarrier such as almond oil that has been tinted a rich yellow-orange, the result is impressiveboth visually and in terms of fragrance.
