Essential Oils Magical Uses
Essential oils are derived from natural plants, they are not synthetic
reproductions, they carry in their liquid the energies and very 'essence' of the
plants they have been obtained from. A very useful item in the witches
toolchest, allowing plants to by used in preparations that perhaps aren't native
to your country, or are out-of-season and your dried supplies have all been
used. Essential oils are far more concentrated than anything you can
harvest and dry, so a single drop will carry plenty of the plant's natural
energy.
Here are some of the most commonly used essential oils, beginning with the letter 'B' and their use within
magic.
BASIL - Basil is a wonderful oil to use for money magic. It is
associated with wealth, abundance and lifting the spirits. Add a couple of
drops to a bowl of water and use as a magical wash for shop doors, tills, your
purse or wallet or anything else to do with money. Place a few drops of
Basil in the well of an oil burner, top the well up with water. Once the aroma
is released by the warming from the candle, sit quietly, inhale the fragrance
and visualise your bank statement, business accounts or any other area of your
life that needs financial funds, increasing rapidly. Try adding a single
drop of Basil essential oil to magical money sachets, or anointing a green
candle with some carrier oil infused with a single drop of Basil oil.

help to release stress and pent-up tension. After a hard day at work, or

get a bit fraught, just inhale the fragrance on the tissue (gently). Try
heating Bergamot in an oil burner and placing in the bedroom a couple of hours
