SOOTHING SMELLS FOR ALL THAT AILSMother Earth News Oct/Nov 1998

It takes 30 roses to produce just one drop of pure rose essence. Because of their high concen-trations, essential oils are extremely potent and can dry or irritate the skin if used alone, and soshould always be diluted before being applied.

For massage, essential oils are diluted in a carrier oil to produce what is known as a ‘personalblend’. Choose a carrier oil that suits your skin type and special needs. All-purpose carier oilsinclude apricot kernel oil and sweet almond oil (good for sensitive skin), soy oil and grapeseed oil(good for oily skin), and sunflower oil.

Add the following special carrier oils to the all-purpose ones to make longer-lasting, moreabsorbent blends that are suitable for treating dry dehydrated skin: carrot oil (add only 10% toall-purpose carrier oil, since this stuff is not only pricey, but the orange color can temporarily stainthe skin); sesame oil (use only the oil from uncooked seed);or avacado oil (rich in vitamins A andB, this excelent skin softener is good for dry chapped skin). Jojoba, which is not an oil but a wax,can be added to the blend to lengthen its shelf life.

Flying OintmentsContributed by Tir-Na Nog

I have run across a few recipes in my readings, don’t know if they work or not, but would ask youto reconsider trying any of these ointments. I make no guarantees they’ll make you “fly”, but I*can* guarantee that some of the ingredients are lethal and could easily *KILL* you. “I’ll havewhat the bleeding lump on the floor was drinking.” I agree! There are a few recipes available thatare lethal. But, here are 2 recipes that aren’t:

1 part Dittany of Crete1 part Cinquefoil1 part Mugwort1 part ParsleyGently heat 4 parts shortening over low heat until liquified. Watch that it doesn’t burn. Add 1 partdried herbal mixture, blend with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed, and continue heatinguntil the shortening has extracted the scent. You should be able to smell it in the air. Strainthrough cheesecloth into a heat-proof container, such as a canning jar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of tinc-ture of benzoin (available at most drugstores) 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.If it turns moldly, discard and lay in a fresh batch.

Recipe #22 drops Sandalwood oil1 drop Jasmine oil1 drop Benzoin oil1 drop Mace oilUse unbleached beeswax if possible, if not use what you can find. Chip it with a large, sharpknife so that you can pack it into a measuring cup. Place 1/4 cup or so of beeswax into the top ofa double boiler (such as a coffee can set in a larger pot of water). Add about 1/4 cup of olive,hazelnut, sesame, or some other vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until the wax has melt-ed into the oil. Remove from 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 thewax. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon and pour into a heat-proof container. Label and storein the usual way.Once the ointment is made and has cooled in it’s jar, empower it with its particular magickalneed. This vital step, remember, directs the energy within the ointment, readying it for your ritualuse.Anoint the pulse points, the underarms, the soles of the feet, the groin, the palms of your hands,and any other area with a large quantity of sweat glands. Start your astral projection ritual andaway you go.As I haven’t tried these as yet, I would appreciate being let know how they work.
