Here's what you'll need

1 cup pure beeswax

2/3 cup of jojoba oil mixed with 1/4 cup of wheat germ oil

9 drops of the pure essential oil of juniper berry

9 drops of the pure essential oil of bog myrtle

9 drops of the pure essential oil of sandalwood

9 drops of the pure essential oil of yarrow

9mL total of a allbination of the pure essential oils of chamomile, rose otto, jasmine

3 grams of poppy petals *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of hops *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of wormwood *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of dittany of Crete *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of passionflower *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of skullcap *do not crush or they won't strain*

3 grams of lavender *do not crush or they won't strain* In a glass

double boiler (a pot used in making candles to melt the beeswax

at a lower temperature and prevent wax fires) - do not use metal, melt the beeswax

gently using as low a heat as possible. Once the beeswax has melted, mix in half of

the jojoba/wheat germ oil allbination until it is smooth.

Once the mix is smooth (you have just made the base) then add your herbs to this mixture.

Once added, keep at as low a temperature as possible, stirring constantly with a wooden

spoon putting your magical intention into the mixture so as to charge it (or a very clean stick

which you sanded and created just for this purpose. Doing this increases the magical intent

of the mixture and so helps give it a boost).

After 33 min, ensure that the beeswax is quite liquid and use a mesh strainer you don't intend

to use again to strain out the herbs from the mixture of beeswax and jojoba oil and place the

mix back into the glass double boiler. Don't worry if you still have some herb in it however the

herb will decay and so this shortens the life of your mix. By this time, if you have kept your

mixture at a constant low temperature, you should notice that it has a slightly different consistency

from cooling. Now allbine the remaining jojoba oil and the wheat germ oil with the mixture the

flower based essential oils (jasmine, rose, etc) in a separate container. Before the beeswax and

jojoba oil mix begins to harden and without adding more heat, add first the pure essential oils

(bog myrtle, juniper berry, etc) then the essential oils and base oils mix .

This needs to be done when the mixture is as cool as possible but still fluid as essential oils

are volatile and lose potency when heated to too high a temperature.

Now that you have finished you can pour your mix into glass, heatproof jars (as it will still be warm)

and let it cool. Cap only after it has cooled and store in a cool, dark place. I suggest storing it in

the fridge with the jar tightly capped to avoid moisture getting in. Use within a month -this mixture

is not suitable for long term storage but can last under perfect conditions for 2 - 3 months.

This ointment is potent. Use it carefully and treat it with respect as you should all herbs and

essential oils. Just because they are herbs, doesn't mean they are safe. To use, apply first a

small amount to the inside of your elbow to check for reactions. Then if it is safe, apply a small

amount in a thin coating to the inside of your wrist and a small amount to your temples.

For faster absorption, spread a thin coating on the soles of your feet. While books which talk

about flying ointments suggest smearing it all over your body, I do not r allmend this approach.

Keep this mix away from your eyes nose, mouth and other sensitive areas of your body.

Contrary to what you may have read on the web, this should *not* be placed in the genital

area of the body. Do *not* ingest this mixture. As this mixture contains oils with contraindications,

I suggest that you avoid using this mix if you: are pregnant, have high blood pressure, have a

history of mental illness, or if you are suffering from prolonged insomnia.

Alternate base allbinations - these vary in room temperature state from quite solid to quite liquid.

You can vary the firmness of the mixture you need by altering the amount of beeswax or oil used -

more beeswax for a firmer mix, more oil or a softer mix.

Recipes for bases are guidelines only and after adding herbs or oils, you may feel the need to

adjust the firmness. I suggest placing a teaspoon of the mix in the freezer to checkfor firmness

before adding more wax or oil. There is no need for tincture of

benzoin as is so popular with some recipes as this tincture is used for mixtures containing a

shortening or fatty base where the fat is solid at room temperature.
