Abramelin Oil
I now can provide this oil in two
versions. The first is
made according to the recipe in Mathers' translation of the French manuscript
of The
Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage - one part myrrh,
two parts cinnamon, 1/2 part galangal, and half the total weight in the best
olive oil. It is not made from essential oils but from large quills of cinnamon bark, tears of myrrh, and sliced
galangal root. The second is made from the recipe in collected German manuscripts of The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage:
1 part myrrh, 2 parts cinnamon, and 1/2 part calamus. In both cases, the ingredients are ground and
macerate for at least one month so that the oil takes up all the complexities of the
herbs. The herbs are then allowed to settle out, leaving
their scent in the oil, and the oil decanted into nice resealable frosted
glass bottles. This subtle oil releases its scent when it is applied, not in
the bottle. Top
