Middle Earth Magic: Inspired Ideas and Seasonal Spells for Your Enchanted Life
I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and learned much about herbs, trees, animals, gardening, foraging and so much about nature. I incorporate this wisdom I learned from elders in my family into my spellwork. When I finally left the farm, I majored in Medieval Studies, my attempt to emulate my idol, J.R.R. Tolkien. All these influences led me to my own blended brew which I call "middle earth magic," containing a mix of the modern and the time-tested "old ways."
Enchanted Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts of flowers, herbs, roots, or resin extract, sometimes diluted in neutral base oil. Try to ensure you are using natural oils instead of manufactured, chemical-filled perfume oils; the synthetics lack any real energy. Also, approach oils with caution, and don’t get them in your eyes. Clean cotton gloves are a good idea to keep in your kitchen for handling sensitive materials.
You can avoid any mess and protect your magical tools by using oil droppers. While you are learning and studying, find a trusted herbalist or the wise sage at your local metaphysical shop; usually their years of experience offer much in the way of useful knowledge you can use to your advantage. I have included as much as I can in this at-a-glance guide to oils. These essential oils are excellent choices for anointing lamps as well as yourself:
- Cinnamon is energetic, spicy, and warm. It stimulates the mind as well as the body.
- Ginger is vigorous and revitalizing and heightens desire and comfort.
- Jasmine sparks sensuality and inspires feelings of positivity, confidence, and pure bliss.
- Lavender is soothing, calming, nurturing, and relaxing.
- Orange is a light, citrusy oil that restores balance and liftsmoods, enhancing playful emotions.
- Rose brings youthfulness, enhances self-esteem, aidscirculation, and relieves tension.
- Sandalwood is a woody aroma that relieves tension andrelaxes tense muscles.
- Ylang-ylang’s sweet, floral aroma is used as an aphrodisiac;it is relaxing and reduces worry and anxiety.
