To make and use magical oils, follow these guidelines:

  1. Choose the right base oil: The base oil is the foundation of the magical oil and should be chosen based on its properties and compatibility with your intended purpose.
  2. Choose the right carrier oil: Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and herbal extracts, making them safe for application on the skin. Examples include sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, and fractionated coconut oil.
  3. Gather the appropriate ingredients: The essential oils or herbal extracts you use will vary based on the magical purpose. For example, use lavender essential oil for relaxation or protection, and cinnamon essential oil for money drawing.
  4. Perform a ritual or meditation to focus on your intention: Set your intention and purpose for the magical oil, as this will direct the energy and power it possesses.
  5. Blend the ingredients: Combine the base oil, carrier oil, and other ingredients in a small, sterilized glass container. Stir gently to ensure a consistent blend.
  6. Charge the oil: Allow the oil to rest and absorb the energy of the intention or goal for which it is intended. This may take a few days to several weeks, depending on the oil’s complexity.
  7. Use the oil: Magical oils can be applied topically, added to bathwater, dispersed into the air with a diffuser, or incorporated into other spiritual practices, such as candle magic or spell work.

When using magical oils, always use them with clear intention, respect, and responsibility. Understand the potential outcomes of your actions and strive for positive, benevolent results. Remember, magical oils are powerful tools, and their effects can be felt both positively and negatively, so use them wisely and with integrity
