BaphometBaphomet Oil
Eliphas Levi, whose drawing of Baphomet is shown here, intended this image to represent "the god of primitive Gnostic schools," a version of Pan. We can see, though, that this Pan is very different from that of the Greeks. Baphomet is like Hermes--a magical teacher who unites in themself male and female, but Baphomet also unites the Four Elements and symbolizes the raw power or Prima Materia of magic itself. Where Hermes is typically connected to high, fast-vibrating smells like dill and lavender, this is a slower, smoother scent, in keeping with Baphomet's seated stance. It is much more subtle than any scent we might craft for Pan.

At Alchemy Works, we tend to use lots of resinous scents in our oils, but this one is dominated by a warm muskiness with a bit of zing. The scent of lemongrass comes charging out at first and then settles down and hums along with the other ingredients, which work together to provide a slow, deep musk. You can smell sun-warmed fur (don't worry vegans, it is not made of animals), which is combined with valerian, cumin and other musky herbs. This blend is smoothed out with some nice (& ethically harvested) white sandalwood. It is a steadying scent that yet allows awakening of the intellect--a good combination for magical work. These fragrances are combined in a base of fractionated coconut oil and, as always, the blend is completely natural and free of any synthetics.
