Oils - Tumblr Posts

I've literally just started doing this very thing like for 2 days in a row now. And it's been uplifting my mood. I smell so good, and look so adorable! I buy the "A Thousand Wishes" scent from BATH AND BODY WORKS. And I get the Body Scrub, the Body mist, the Shimmery Body Butter, and the Shimmery Body Mist. And that's all from that store. If I feel like wearing a scent from any other place/business I'll wear frankincense & myrrh fragrance body oil, and another one I'll keep a secret but I get it from the local mall's perfume store. 🥰☺️ but putting those on with a super cute outfit seriously does lift my mood. Not to mention my new boyfriend melts all over me when I take the time out to get all completely dolled up even if I'm NOT going anywhere. (Except for in his arms ☺️🫠🥰😍)

I started wearing my favorite dresses even if I’m staying home. I decided I don't have to wait for an occasion to dress up, put makeup on, or take the time to get ready. I deserve to feel lovely while I’m folding laundry or doing the dishes. Feeling beautiful during the mundane tasks of life makes them feel more beautiful too.

“Get the Fuck Out” Banishing Oil

In celebration of a robust banishing spell working, here’s my recipe for Get the Fuck Out Oil. This was concocted with pretty common banishing ingredients, some pulled from the Exorcism table in Incense, Oils, & Brews by Scott Cunningham, as well as a little extra from the powder in this banishing spell (the one we used).

CAUTION: If you have sensitive skin, think you may have sensitive skin, or just want to be safe, use gloves while handling this oil. Cayenne is a spicy motherfucker, and, in combination with the oils used in this recipe, this oil can burn your skin. We used gloves to be safe—mostly because I get hives even if certain soaps look at me funny. Chemical burns aren’t fun. Be safe.

Ingredients

Carrier Oil (grapeseed, olive, almond, etc.)

10 drops peppermint oil

3 drops cinnamon oil

2 pinches Cayenne Pepper

Pinch black salt (recipe here)

Pinch black pepper

Add your carrier to a container with a lid. The amount you use depends on how much you want to make and how big your container is. I have these tiny vials, so I filled it about ¾ of the way up .

Add the oils. If you used more carrier, you may need to add more. Remember the warning above.

Add the dry ingredients. I didn’t measure these in any official capacity, so go with your gut. Cayenne should be the most prominent of your dry ingredients. Remember that we still want this to be liquid, so watch your proportions.

Cover your container tight and shake it up. While you shake it, focus hard on kicking people/things out of your life. I literally repeated “get the fuck out” over and over while I shook it up. Go as long as feels right.

Let it sit for awhile and get good a mixed before using. If you have the means, you could strain this out to remove the sediment. I didn’t–so it’s just in there. Doesn’t bother me, and it worked regardless. Just shake again before use, once again focusing on booting people/things away. 

When I make another batch of this, I’ll probably heat the base oil and add the powders so they get good and mixed. Then add the essential oils when it cools/is strained. I, unfortunately, didn’t have the time to make that attempt since we had to take advantage of the day.

Use to anoint candles during banishment work. Good for spirits, energies, and…people.

Happy banishing!

Future Sight (Pokemon Inspired Spell)

A spell to improve your divination work and to bring you psychic clarity while doing readings (cartomancy, tasseography, etc).

You will Need:

Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Lemongrass Essential Oil

Orange Incense

Black (or White) Candle(s)

Steps:

Light your candles then light your incense. Make sure incense is in front of you so you can watch the stream of smoke from it

Put a drop or two of each oil onto your dominate hand’s pointer and middle finger. Then rub it to the center of your forehead then your left and right temple (in that order)

Focus on the stream of smoke from your incense and breath in and out. Feel the energy from the oils warming and awakening your mind and eyes, while the scent from the incense fills your lungs. 

Continue this until you feel calmed, focused and ready to begin

Fuck Off Oil (Banishing  Oil)

Sometimes, just saying “fuck off” doesn’t quite do the trick. Whether it’s unsatisfying or doesn’t repel the asshole you’re trying to get rid of, it might be time to pull out the big guns.

This banishing oil is a revamped version of an oil I made for an old friend many years ago. The original purpose was to rid her home of a nasty invasive spirit and then keep it away, since it had already been banished and returned a few times. She used it to anoint her mirrors, windows, doors, and even herself, followed by a large black pillar candle coated in more of the oil and burned every day until it was just a lump of wax.

It worked perfectly for her purposes, so I have taken that old recipe and recreated it in my current style for my current needs. If you saw my earlier rant post, then you know what this is for. If not, that’s okay - just know that someone has tested my patience and taken advantage of my kindness, and now they should kindly fuck off forever.

Like most of my spells and spell ingredients, this oil is 100% edible… and pretty tasty! See my notes below for ideas on how to use it.

Ingredients:

Oil of Your Choice (I used olive oil because it’s what was in my cabinet)

Salt

Pepper

Red Chili Flakes

Smoked Paprika

Garlic, minced

Onion Powder

Oregano, dried

Caraway Seeds

Coriander

Bay Leaf

A Jar or Bottle

Instructions:

Measure how much oil you will need to fill your jar or bottle of choice. You can pour the oil into a bowl or use a measuring cup to both measure and mix your oil, which is what I did. Fewer dishes to wash at the end!

Add each of your ingredients, one at a time, to the oil. Leave the bay leaf for last, and see step 3. I added the ingredients in the order that they are listed, but you can do them in whatever order suits you best. Be sure to give each a purpose tied back to the person, spirit, or other bothersome creature you are banishing (some ingredients have protective properties; see my note below for how I assigned a purpose to each).

Stir your mixture well. Really whip it. Beat the hell out of it. Etc.

Bay leaves are often used in wish magic or as vehicles for sigils. For our purposes, hold the leaf with both hands and stare at it hard. Think of the person, spirit, or thing you are banishing. Whisper or shout your desire to keep them away from you, adding any specifics you like. Stuff the leaf into your jar or bottle whole.

Pour your mixture into the jar or bottle over the bay leaf. Be sure to get all of the bits of garlic in there.

Cap the jar or bottle and give it a good shake. I recommend letting it sit and infuse for a few days to get a really good flavor going, but you can use it immediately if you want. Just be sure to shake it well to charge it before use.

This oil is good for up to six months, though it may last longer. Keep an eye on it; if it forms mold, throw it away immediately. Keep your jar or bottle in a cool, dark space. Refrigeration is optional, but it’ll last longer if you keep it in the fridge.

Notes:

As with most oils, there are many uses for this recipe. It can be either a spell on its own, or you can create it to be a component in another spell. Or both! Both is good.

I like to use this to cook vegetables like brussels sprouts, asparagus, and potatoes, but you could also use it in a stir fry or to cook meats. This oil also makes for a very pleasant salad dressing when mixed with red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. It would be both funny and effective to feed a Fuck Off Salad to your target. If you want to do this, I recommend making it extra spicy, especially if they hate spice and you’re feeling especially vindictive.

If you’re not looking to eat this oil in some way, you can also use it to anoint candles for a banishing spell. Or, if you want to get a little more involved, you can submerge a taglock or poppet in the oil to symbolize the person you are repelling. This would be a great way to continuously banish someone or something if they keep trying to return. Plus, it can have the added benefit of being… uncomfortable for the target.

Here are the purposes I assigned to each ingredient; feel free to use these or come up with your own based off your own experiences:

Salt - Protect the caster during the creation and use of the oil, repel bad vibes and start the process of cleansing

Pepper - First line of fuck off; give a reason or a particular attribute that you want gone, such as “aggression” and “lying”

Chili flakes - Second line of fuck off, this time with ✨spice✨; I assigned “threats” and “rancid vibes” to this ingredient

Garlic - Third line of fuck off; protection against further nonsense, repelling them from contacting me

Onion - Keeping away pests; I use the layers of the onion to symbolize the layers of “fuck off” in the oil and reinforce each one

Oregano - Now comes the part where we protect ourselves from the offending party’s possible retaliation! This is protection from backlash and luck for the success of the spell. This has extra power for me, since my mom grew this oregano and is superbly pissed about someone threatening her kids!

Caraway seeds - Boosting my convictions and inner power, preventing the spell from backfiring on me (the target(s) are also witches, so this was very important to include!)

Coriander - Personal protection against further nonsense, cementing this oil as a line of self-defense

If you use this oil in a spell, let me know how you liked it, if you made any substitutions, and/or how it worked for you!

Essential Oils Masterpost

Some tips: 

Never take an essential oil internally, it can really hurt you

Always use a carrier oil (e.g. olive, apricot, jojoba, etc) to use on the skin. Add one drop essential oil to the carrier oil and apply on skin

Most of the neuro-stimulating ones on the list below correspond best with aromatherapy applications (either sniff the bottle or add to a humidifier). The links at the bottom of the post can give you more information about how to apply and use essential oils

Working more on the face now

I was sick and stayed at home all day, so I ended up getting farther on this. I still need to do the left hand, the hair, and the gashes, but otherwise I don't have much left before I'm done!

So I finished this painting almost a year ago and didn’t realize it’s been sitting in my drafts this whole time.
