The art of healing oils, potions and candles link to many past practices. Of the many beliefs that support the development of these arts, they all have an underlying basis...a respect for the planet earth. In fact, for most magick to work, there must be an understanding of the planet that nourishes us.
We will discuss items relating to making oils and potions. Keep in mind that the power of the oils are given their strength through the thoughts and beliefs during the creation period. A successful potion is part mind and part matter.
TYPES OF OILS
Essential Oils
These "essential oils" aren't really mixtures of anything. Many of these are found as commercial chemical mixtures which are much more available and less expensive then the true thing. A true essential oil, or essence, is drawn from the purest substance. An example of this is usually the essence of a flower like a rose. The natural materials from the flower and plant can make a very aromatic and powerful oil. Depending on your use, a synthetic essential oil may or may not work. For magickal purposes (those for the focusing of internal powers onto external bodies), a synthetic with the correct scent may be just the trick. For healing purposes (those for internal growth), a pure essence must be used. To make a real oil, it is expensive and laborious. I have found a way to get the true scent of the oil at a much lower cost and the only expense is time. Go to the Making of Oils section for an explanation.
Mixtures
Mixtures of substances can produce effects of personal growth among many other outward potent products. Unlike the essential oils, these need the concentration of the creator and some form of ritual to produce the desired effect.
Astrology Oils
Many people are into finding out how to make these oils. With the assistance of these oils, a person can achieve a closer affinity to their birth path for better understanding.

SOME SAMPLE HANDY POTIONS
The recipes given here are given by Ray T. Malbrough - Charms, Spells &
Formulas. I have had great success with these mixtures, now I share them with you. I have found that some herbs vibrate better with me. Please use the above section to help you find your best combinations. The lower section will help you in the mixing process.

MAKING THE OILS
There are may ways to make these oils. If you can find a true natural oil in your area, get it. Try to find someone reputable. You may have to pay a little more for a true essential oil, but its worth it.
Alternatively, if you have the time, you may be able to make your own acceptable oils. Compression and distillation is the way to get the most true essential oil, but time ban be for budgeted friend. The basic tools of a Mortar and Pestle can grind down your herbs and flowers and then soaking them in your favorite oil. I have used extra virgin olive oil in many of my mixtures, but sometime the oil itself is too pungent and it hides the aromas of the herbs. Grape seed oil is better due to the lack of odor. There are other oils so choose your own, but try to keep your base as pure as possible.
I usually let the ground items sit in the mortar with the oil for a few days and then put the whole lot in a bottle. After about two weeks, the aromas start to come out beautifully. Keep in mind that when I am going through the whole process, grinding to soaking and straining, I keep my thoughts on what I am trying to accomplish with this mixture. The better the concentration, the better the result.
CANDLES & COLORS
Candles are used in every religion in the world. From Pagans to Christians, for good and evil, candles are an essential part of rituals. I've added the candles and colors section to this oils page because they go so well together. Candle burning is an art that will enhance any part of your spirituality.
Use colored candles and oils together to bring love, money, health and many other things. A few suggested rules about candle burning:
- Try to find candles that will burn out in a few hours. This will help you prevent an out of control fire if you have to leave. Candle burning almost always requires letting the candle(s) burn all the way down to nothing for full effect.
- Make a "candle burning place" that will be the place you will always burn your candles and keep you oils nearby. Some call it an altar, some call it the kitchen. Choose a place that doesn't have a lot of traffic and a place that you feel safe and can call your own, at least temporarily.
- Be careful of karma when wishing things and using rituals like candle burning.
The best course of action is to meditate on what you really want and think about all the consequences involved. For example, wishing another person to love you when they are involved with someone else can bring bad tidings and ruin your karma for many things. Remember, for ever action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, try and do good and good will come back to you. If you must cast a bad spell, because someone really deserves it and was malicious towards you, then there are certain rules.
- When candle burning, use a black and white candle in addition to the color(s)
that you are using to balance the forces and help implement your desires. Try to let the back and white burn all the way also, but it is not totally necessary.
- Start with little wishes and then go bigger as you get better with your mediation and candle burning. I personally start with an empty stomach to allow for more mental power and then "bless" the candles with oil with a stroke from the middle up and then a stroke from the middle down on each candle before lighting them. Then I stare into the flame and meditate on my desires. Sometimes I meditate the whole burning time and sometimes only for a few minutes.
- Keep in mind that the following definitions of the colors are based upon what I have practiced with and have had personal success. I used the teachings form the book "Charms, Spells and Formulas" by Ray T. Malbrough. Available from Llewellyn.
