Burn this Yule Incense at your Yule ritual, or at any time that you want to bring about the energies and insights of the Yule season.
What You’ll Need:
* A handful of powdered sandalwood
* Dried pine wood or bark (or dried cedar wood chips)
* Crushed, dried pine needles
* Vegetable glycerin
* 3 drops pine essential oil
* 4 drops rosemary essential oil
* 2 drops bay essential oil
* Twelve small frankincense chunks
In a medium-sized bowl, place your powdered sandalwood. Stir in about two tablespoons of vegetable glycerin. Add the tablespoons one at a time, and then mix with a metal whisk or a fork. You simply want to create a soft, fluffy, compound. Do not add in the second tablespoon of glycerin, if it feels like it would be too much, causing the incense to be too wet.
Now add in the essential oils and whisk. Add the frankincense pieces and stir them in. Finally add the other dry ingredients. Wait for at least a day for the compound to settle before you sprinkle it on hot coals.
*** A Word to the Wise: Witches traditionally call the small bead-like pieces of resinous incenses (such as frankincense) “tears.” ***
Yule Oil
Use this oil to anoint attendees of your Yule ritual. You can also use this oil any time that you want to awaken the insights and mysteries of the Yule season. This oil awakens the magical energies of immortality, long life, and knowledge of what lies beyond death.
What You’ll Need:
* Vegetable glycerin (or a carrier oil such as grape seed oil)
* 6 drops pine essential oil
* 8 drops rosemary essential oil
* 2 drops bay essential oil
* Twelve frankincense tears
Find a one-ounce bottle. Fill the bottle half way with vegetable glycerin. Add plain water until the bottle is three-quarters full. Add your essential oils and your frankincense tears. Close the lid and shake the bottle. After you have created this oil, anoint yourself with it and see what changes it evokes for you.
