Shield
of Mars Oil
This magic oil is the
result of many requests for a good protection oil. I decided to
approach this oil from the perspective of the warrior Mars in his
protective role. I therefore chose Mars-ruled herbs that are warming
but not hot, like ginger, galangal, myrrh, nicotine-free tobacco, and
zedoary, as well as other Mars herbs and spices. It also uses natural
beeswax as a scent, since bees are the quintessential Mars creature and
as we know, they are very protective of their community and their
home. What results is a wonderfully warm, slightly spicy
scent. The myrrh combines with other scents to give the oil a
sort of licorice edge. The beeswax helps create the scent of sun-warmed
bee fur. This scent is not only protective but actually comforting,
which one does not expect of a Mars combination but which should be
one result of protection. Besides acting as a defense against
magical or spiritual attack, this ritual oil can be used to honor all
Mars spirits in their role as protector. This oil tends to be warm on
the skin. Zedoary root contains a natural gold colorant that might
stain white clothing. This colorant also makes this oil stand out well
if you use it for drawing talismans and seals.
