MAKING INCENSE BLENDS

Making your own Oils to anointe/dress candles, burn in a diffuser or whatever use you may need them for is easy. All you need is a base oil and a few drops of Essential oil; not fragrance or annointing oils. Fragrance and annointing oils already have the base oils in them.
As you are "mixing" your own fragrance, start off with a one drop of each Essential oil in your Base oil till you get a smell that is plesant to you.
The lists below are ONLY a guide to scents that provide the desired 'help'. You do not need to use all the scents listed under one heading to achieve the result you need. Mix and Match.

If you're looking for interesting little bottles to use for your Blends you might try your local 'Everything's A Dollar' store(if you have one). Another great place is WalMart in the Craft Dept. sometimes they have small bottles there. Of course your local Pagan/NewAge store should stock small dropper bottles,if you prefer those. Remember to buy dark colored bottles(brown or blue) so the light will not take away your scent too soon. GOOD LUCK and ENJOY!!!
