Organic Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil - Supplies for Witchcraft and Magick

Atlas cedar Organic Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil
This Sun fragrance has a long association in various cultures with central male deities, as one would expect from a Sun scent. King Solomon, said to be a great mage, made the pillars in the Temple to YHVH of this North African cedar (which is also known as cedar of Lebanon). This botanical fragrance makes a good addition to a perfume oil honoring Sun gods. Some consider that cedarwood is ruled by Jupiter, however, perhaps because of their imposing size. Cedar is the perfume associated with Chesed in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Top

The fragrance of cedar is often incorporated into charms to attract money, but in China, these trees are associated with lovers because of the way they reach out their branches when growing near each other. In Assyrian mythology, cedar was one of the trees Inanna ate to gain the knowledge of love and sexuality. In Britain, however, this plant has been thought to be capable of prophesying death in the family through the loss of its limbs, which adds a somber note to this Sun scent. In terms of angels, cedar is thought to evoke angelic help, particularly when one needs wisdom. Obviously, the wide popularity of this natural fragrance has meant it has been used in various contexts. Top

Cedar has powerful properties to repel mold and bugs - in Roman times, Celts embalmed the heads of their enemies with this oil in order to preserve and keep them, and you know how much bugs love dead heads. The particular tree that produces this oil is one of the four true cedars and can live to be 1500 years old. It gets the name "Atlas" from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria. Steam-distilled from Cedrus atlantica in France. Top
