Oils

    You can use them for visualization and empowerment. Rub them on your body to bring out the energies within. Rub them on candles to further promote the purpose of your ritual. Use them in your bath to strengthen your powers. Anoint your talismans and charms and amulets with cleansing and protection oils.


    General Considerations

    To make any oil, you should get a well cleaned - or better steralized - jar and make a Base Oil, adding 1/8 of a cup of safflower, sunflower, coconut, almont, hazelnut, grapeseed or jojoba oil.
    (this last one is the best).

    Then, with an eye dropper add a few drops of the other oils needed. Put the lid and swirl in a clockwise motion. Don't stir. Label and keep in a dark, fresh place.

    Rose Oil Way 1
    Making rose oil yourself is a relatively simple process.
    In a clean glass crock, pour in one half cup extra virgin olive oil. Add to the oil enough freshly picked rose petals to cover the oil. Let stand 24 hours. Strain oil through cheese cloth pressing all oil from rose petals. Discard rose pressed petals. Add fresh rose petals to this oil and repeat. Repeat the process until desired strength of scent (various with fragrance of roses used).

    Rose Oil Way 2
    Another option is solvent distillation. In this method an alcohol is used to extract the essential oils from the plant. Leaves and petals (and sometimes thorns) are use for Magikal purposes. DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL. In one cup of un-flavored Vodka (or other denatured alcohol) place enough plant matter (petals, leaves, or thorns) to cover the liquid. Let stand covered tightly for two weeks. Press the oil from the plant matter through cheesecloth. The oil and alcohol product you now have is natural rose perfume. Freeze the liquid you now have for 24 hours. The oil will freeze, the alcohol will not. Remove the frozen rose oil from your freezer and store in tightly sealed container. Reserve the remaining alcohol for use again. This is not the easier of the two methods but does deliver a nearly pure essential oil. Remember, one ounce of Rose Oil is a lot of Rose Oil.
