Organic Rose geranium Essential Oil
It is nice to have inexpensive natural substitutes for rose absolute. Although rose geranium is by no means purely rose in its scent (it has a spritz of something almost like dill in it), it is very often used to make give rosiness to a fragrance. The scent of this oil is very relaxing and helpful for meditation because while calming, it is not sedating (so don't use it just before bed). Combined with frankincense and benzoin or tonka beans, it makes a traditional a blessing oil. In connection with blessedness, in Muslim folklore, the Prophet laid his freshly washed shirt to dry on a mallow plant and it was turned into a scented geranium. Worwood writes that this scent is good for centering before work with angels and for help in understanding what opportunities and disappointments mean for us. She recommends the use of this oil as part of a regimen for cleansing the aura. In the language of flowers, this magick herb stands for happiness, and indeed, this scent is very cheerful. This plant is typically connected to Venus, but for me it has a bit of Mercury in its scent (the dillyness), so consider it especially helpful if you are, for instance, meditating in order to aquire magical skills. Steam distilled from Pelargonium graveolens in Madagascar. Also known as bourbon geranium. Top
