essential oils

Hi,
According to my research each essential oil has a certain function/purpose/affect/meaning and there are recipes of essential oil potions and like which to mix together, the carrier oil, herbs in it and etc. but i have been wondering, since we can create our own spells can we create our own essential oil potions, taking in consideration their function and which ones they work best with and etc ?
blessed be

Yes, you can definitely make your own oils, potions, incenses as well, along with candles. I plan to do so myself, it will be a fun activity to create your own and you will be putting your personal energy into each. It's awesome to get into, I haven't created one yet, but just studying gets me excited to start. :)

thank you :) that's all i needed to hear. i'm glad i am not alone in this :D

Oh no you're definitely not alone in this lol. I am going through Scott Cunningham's Incense, Oils, and Brews book. It is very helpful, but if you want other varieties this website has good books along with the Llewellyn website: www.llewellyn.com

Oils are awesome but please note that there are different ways of obtaining scent and attractions. Like "essential oils" are pure and distilled from that plant, were as the "imitations" and extractions are a blend of oils and chemicals to mimic a scent.

With that said, also be careful when handling essential oils when making potions and brews that are to be ingested and or applied to the skin. even harmless herbs like peppermint. when in plant form its safe but if applied to the skin directly it can irritate the skin from mild to sever depending on a persons sensitivity. Some are flat out poisonous if ingested.
There are tons of benefits to them in the mundane and also very useful for magical workings. just handle with care :D

Having read your posts I don't now feel alone in starting to experiment with thease oils have obtained a few different oils so going to give them a try
