ANGEL - To attract angels

A peaceful oil, pink candles may be dressed with this to attract friends, & white candles anointed with it to calm a trouble home.

Angels, spirits, demons, & goblins may be attracted to the earthly planet when oils they like are used. This odor is pleasing to angels & should be placed where the invocation is made, saying:

Here is thy favorite oil

which I have placed before thee to please thee

so thou may see my intentions are sincere

& my words are truthful.

APPLE BLOSSOM - Peace

Rub on the body to attract peace of mind & general contentment & happiness.

Add to the bath as an aid toward complete relaxation.

AZALEA - Brightening

A fragrance for all purposes which brightens one's thoughts and eases one's burdens.

Apply it each morning and pray silently:

Bless my work this day,

Let kindness come with all I say.

Should I meet someone in need,

Help me to heal, never impede.

BAPTISM - Redeeming

This rite of initiation begins with a ritual cleansing of washing away past transgressions with a clean cloth (a white handkerchief is suitable) dipped into tepid water to which a spoonful of hyssop has been added.

Apply the dampened cloth to the forehead, nape of the neck, and backs of the hands. As this is done, read Verses I through 7 of Psalm 51.

BREAKING UP

The suffering usually accompanying partings can be eased by an application of a few drops of this onto a possession of the one who is leaving.

A piece of cloth which has been worn but not yet washed is one of the most suitable talismans. If such is not available, a piece of jewelry, a dish, book, or any item that has been touched or used by the departing party is appropriate. Sprinkle the chosen item with the oil, place it in a box or container, and seal the package securely. Place the charm in a secret place where no one else will handle it. Take it out every third day and reanoint it, but do not unseal it.

This ritual will often hold the person, preventing their planned departure.
