Blending Oils
There's no Magick secret for blending and mixing Magickal oil. Here's the basic method:
Assemble the essential oils (and bouquets) called for in the recipe.
In a clean, sterilized glass jar, add 1/8 cup of one of the following vegetable oils:
Safflower
Sunflower
Coconut
Apricot Kernel
Almond
Hazelnut
Grapeseed
Jojoba
I've found that jojoba is the best to use. Because it isn't truly an oil but a liquid form of wax, it never becomes rancid and can be kept for longer periods of time.
Using an eye dropper or the convenient single-drop dispensers which are included in virtually every bottle of essential oil, add the essential oils in the proper proportions recommended in the recipes that follow
Swirl the essential oils into the base oil, don't stir. Gently rotate the oil clockwise.
Finally, store all oils away from heat, light and moisture (not in the bathroom) in airtight, opaque or dark-colored glass bottles. Label and keep for use.
