Cemetery Moon Oil
I've long wanted to create an oil to evoke the sort of love and revenge work that magic workers of late antiquity conducted in cemeteries. These witches and magicians appealed to Hekate but also Apollo and Aphrodite for help in their workings. I wanted to capture what it might have been like to do such work and also to create an oil that would help with cemetery workings today. The scents of evergreens, traditionally associated with cemeteries on account of the long-lasting nature of their wood and the fact that their leaves do not drop, form the backbone of this oil, with funerary Hekatean cypress and solar (and so Apollo-connected) cedar joined with black spruce, silver fir, and forest pine. The scent of freshly dug earth is there in galbanum, representing the connection to the Underworld always made in such magic, and a touch of green leafiness represents the fertility of spellwork. I also included a little whiff of an antique burnt distillation of frankincense to represent the distant fires of Hekate at the crossroads. Use this oil for cemetery work, for honoring Hekate, for binding love spells and for revenge.
