Methods of Using Oils for Protective Purposes Method 2

Use your chosen oils in a spray or
diffuser, spraying around your body and over
the top of your head again, ensuring that you
cover the whole area. Prepare your oils in
advance, combining them as necessary. Leave
them for a week in a quiet, dark place away
from electrical equipment. On the eighth day
use a new fragrance sprayer, preferably a glass
bottle, add about 25 ml (1 fl oz) of the purest
water available and the essential oils and shake
the sprayer vigorously. This can also be used to
protect your sacred space or immediate
environment.

Methods of Using Oils for Protective Purposes


Method 1 Put just one drop of your chosen
pure essential oil in the centre of your palm and
rub your hands together. In this instance the oil
is used neat. Holding your hands about 10 cm
(4 in) away from your body, smooth around the
outside of this space, starting from the top of
your head down to your feet and then back up
again. Make sure you have covered every part
that you can reach of this very subtle body. This
is also known as protecting your aura.

Using Essential Oils in the Auric Field


As they begin working magically, almost all
practitioners will find that they become more
sensitive to the vibrations of the ordinary,
everyday world. A crowded train, for instance,
when you are bombarded by the various
vibrations of your fellow travellers, can be very
difficult to handle. This difficulty arises because
your own particular ‘force field’, called the aura
– which you carry with you always – begins to
vibrate at a different level than the one to which
you are accustomed and do not notice on an
everyday level.
If you begin to do a great deal of magical
work, you must learn to protect yourself,

perhaps from onslaughts of negativity or subtle
vibrations over which others have no control.
Always remember that you have at your
disposal the means for control and it should
become a regular part of your routine to
enhance your own aura and to protect that of
others. Essential oils can help you to do this.

Altar Oil Blend


4 parts frankincense
3 parts myrrh
1 part galangal
1 part vervain
1 part lavender
This blend is one that can be used to anoint your altar,
if you use one, or to diffuse around your sacred space
at regular intervals, before you undertake any ritual, to
purify and empower the space.

Oils for Ritual Work


The following oil blends can all be used in
ritual work.
t Sacred Space Blend t
20 drops juniper berry oil
10 drops frankincense oil
10 drops sandalwood oil
5 drops rosemary oil
2 drops nutmeg oil
This is a good blend to use when you need to create
a sacred space or magical circle. Burnt in an
aromatherapy lamp it clears and enhances the
atmosphere.

Desire Oil


3 drops lavender oil
3 drops orange oil
1 drop lemon oil
Desire oil is meant to entice another person to want
you. If someone already does, but needs a little
pushing, a red, orange, pink, blue, or white candle
should be anointed and lit when the two of you are
together. If you love someone and they are showing no
response, speak their name as you light a candle
blessed with desire oil.
Allow the candles to burn for two hours before you
snuff them out.
Repeat, until the person reacts.

Marriage Oil


2 drops frankincense oil
3 drops cypress oil
2 drops sandalwood oil
This combination of oils is used to reinforce a
marriage relationship, whether the union is good or
not. It may also be used to help steer a relationship
towards marriage or further commitment. Simply burn
a pink or lilac-coloured candle anointed with marriage
oil when you and your partner are together.
