An Easy Recipe For The Money-Drawing Oil

Instructions:

1. Place 2 ounces of a carrier oil (Sweet Almond, Fractionated Coconut, Olive, Grapeseed, or an organic vegetable oil) in a small glass Mason jar with a metal lid.

2. Choose three, five, or seven of the following common botanicals: Cinnamon Bark, Allspice Berries, Calendula Flowers, Comfrey Leaves, Fenugreek Seeds, Patchouli Leaves, Thyme, and/or Irish Moss. Add them in equal parts to the oil, about a teaspoon or a little more of each.

3. Add a piece of magnet to the oil. If you have any Pyrite or a lucky coin, you can add it to the oil as well. Close the lid and shake well.

4. Create a water bath for the oil. Fill a sauce pan with a couple inches of water - place the closed oil jar in the water, making sure that the water only comes up midway up the glass jar. You do not want water anywhere near the lid or the top of your oil jar.

5. Put the heat on medium-low. You want the water bath to be the temperature of a nice hot bath, nowhere near boiling. Allow the water to come to temperature slowly. Do not turn the stove up on high - you risk shattering the glass jar if the temperature changes too abruptly. Heat it for an hour, shaking the jar every ten minutes.

6. Take your glass jar out of the oil bath and let it cool. Once it's easily handled, you can open the jar and add essential oils or frangrance oils if you so choose. Two traditional scents are Cinnamon and Bayberry. Be careful with Cinnamon essential oil - it will burn your skin - so only add two or three drops to your herbal oil. If you're using fragrance oils, then add to your liking - usually about 10 drops or so for two ounces of oil.

7. Your oil is ready to use. After a moon cycle you can strain the herbs out if you like or leave them in. You can also add a perservative like Vitamin E - just take a pill that people use as supplements, prick a hole in it, and squeeze the contents into your oil. Without preservatives, your herbal oil should keep for about a year. If it changes colors or has an odd odor, it's ready for the compost heap. Store in the ever-popular cool, dark place.

8. Pray or "charge" your herbs and oil as you see fit. Most practitioners have their own way to do this. You can pray over/charge the herbs as you add them, pray over/charge the oil when it's heating, pray over/charge it when it's finished, pray over it when you use it - whatever. You don't even really need to - the herbs have powers that are inherent to them - but i always think it's a nice touch. Enjoy!
