Pluto Planet & SymbolOil of Pluto
We know what you're saying--why make an oil for a planet that is not a planet anymore? Because folks are still working with this planet's influence, and because it has a lot to teach us. Pluto rules over death and resurrection and the sort of radical change in consciousness that is sometimes symbolized by those terms (ego-death, for instance). We start with the idea of earth, from which we come and to which we return, the representative of the Underworld and holder of the secrets Pluto can help us learn. Galbanum evokes the scent of freshly turned soil. We then add some mosses and tree balsams to deepen the earthy and cold associations (because Pluto is cold), some opoponax, that rarer and more refined version of myrrh, to stand for the spiritual aspect of the Underworld, and cypress, the tree of choice for funerary objects because its durability represents immortality and resurrection. Storax, which has both a spiciness and an outdoor, dark of night, coldness and dryness, gives the scent depth, and the oil has a tinge of the smokiness of a room in which incense has just been burning. Though a challenge to create, we think this blend came out well and hope it will help with your Pluto work.
