Kitchen Witch
Oil
Wrap yourself in a green
cloak of wortcunning with this oil, designed to assist in
rites conducted during the Waxing Moon that help bring a work to
completion and for dreamwork. It evokes a cottage herb
garden on a warm sunny day and the harvest, drying, and storing of
green herbs for
future magical use. Green
herbs traditionally associated with European witchcraft - clary sage, mugwort,
chamomile, wormwood, and blue tansy
- are combined with a few herby scents
from the vegetable garden - carrot
seed, tomato leaf, tarragon, and cepes - because
cooking is also a transformative art. These get just a little
sweetness with lavender, rose
geranium, and a touch of ylang ylang.
The scent is a mellow, slightly sweet green until the oil dries, when sun-warmed
hay, raw beeswax, and tonka bean
combine to hint of wine-rich cured herbs in a leather pouch (although no actual
leather or animal products are used). These scents
come the aerial parts of plants, which
makes this oil especially powerful
during the waxing Moon, and since many of the herbs have astral properties,
this is also a good blend for
preparing for divination or
dreamwork. Just a great, friendly oil! As usual, no synthetic anything!
