Most of these recipes for perfumes and oils are meant to be diluted in a
carrier oil such as almond, jojoba, apricot kernel etc. unless otherwise
specified. Test to make sure you are not allergic to oils before applying
them liberally.
Aprhodite Oil
3 parts Musk (plant based)
2 parts Vanilla
1 parts Ylang Ylang
Use to annoint yourself, candles etc. Love and Aphrodisiacal effects (of
course!).
Demeter Oil
3 parts Myrrh
2 parts Vetivert
1 parts Oak Moss
Use to annoint yourself, candles etc. for spells involving fertility, money
working with plants or agriculture, etc.
Moon Priestess Perfume
1 Drop Queen of the Night Oil
3 drops rose oil
1 drop lemon verbena oil
4 fl. oz (120cc) white spirit
Blend the three oils in a bottle. Add the white spirit, and shake all
vigorously. A cologne can be made by adding another 1 FL. oz (30cc) of white
spirit and 3 fl. oz (90cc) of distilled water.
Moon Priest Cologne
1 fl.oz (30cc) lemon verbena or Lime oil
2 fl.oz (60cc) coriander oil
1/2 fl.oz. (15cc) camphor or myrrh oil
1/4 fl.oz. (7cc) white spirit
3 3/4 fl.oz. (105cc) distilled water
Blend the oils in a bottle, add the spirit and water and shake all
vigorously. Increasing the myrrh oils gives a darker perfume; increasing the
camphor, a lighter and more spicy one. All perfumes 'behave' differently on
different skins, so it is worth experimenting to find your own balance.

Dark of the Moon.

1 oz (30gm) Dried jasmine flowers or 6 drops jasmine oil
1/2 oz (15gm) dried rose petals
2 drops of your own menstrual blood

4 drops patchouli oil
4 drops civet oil
4 drops of blood from your own finger
Blend at the dark of the Mon, put in a jar and bury in the earth for 6 weeks
(a flower pot of peat in a cool cupboard will do).
Athene Oil and Incense
The olive is sacred to Athene, so use pure olive oil as an annointing oil in
particular, rub between the palms of your hands and annoint your feet,
forehead and lips. For the Incense:
1 oz (30gm) cedarwood chips
1/2 oz (15gm) camphor
7 drops musk oil
Female sweat (as much as possible)
6 olives unstuffed and preferabbly black
Blend the first four ingredients well, at the full moon, and add the olives.
Put in a jar and leave for one month to mature. Then remove the olives
(Which will have imparted their essence to the rest) and throw them away.
Stuffed olives, both black and green, are an obvious food for a ritual of
Athene, also stuffed vine leaves, a very Athenian dish. If possible, of
course, the wine should be Greek - especially retsina, though that is an
acquired taste.

the first or eighth hour after sunrise, or the third or tenth hour after
sunset, on a Monday. Thoroughly mix equal amounts of the following:

Mandrake
Orris root

oil.
