Imbolc Incense
Burn this incense at your Imbolc ritual, or at any time that you want to bring about the energies and insights of Imbolc.
What You’ll Need:
* A handfull of powdered sandalwood
* 1 teaspoon dry bay laurel
* 3 teaspoons myrrh powder or crushed resin
* 1 teaspoon dried coltsfoot (leaf or flower)
* Vegetable glycerin
* 6 drops myrrh essential oil
* 3 drops basil essential oil
* 2 drops bay essential oil
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 the second tablespoon of glycerin if it feels like it would be too much, causing the incense to be too “wet.”
Now add your essential oils and whisk. Add your myrrh, coltsfoot, and bay laurel. Mix thoroughly. Wait for at least a day for the compound to settle before you sprinkle it on hot coals.
Imbolc Oil
Use this oil to anoint attendees of your Imbolc ritual. You can also use this oil any time that you want to awaken the insights and mysteries of Imbolc. This oil awakens the magical energies of healing, creativity, and action.
What You’ll Need:
* Vegetable glycerin (or a carrier oil such as grape seed oil)
* 6 drops myrrh essential oil
* 3 drops basil essential oil
* 2 drops bay essential oil
* Pinch of coltsfoot or myrrh “tears”
* Pine needles from Yule exercise
Find a one-ounce bottle and fill the bottle half way with vegetable glycerin. Add plain water until the bottle is three-quarters full. Add your essential oils and your pine needles. Add dry ingredients, close the lid and shake the bottle. When you are finished making this oil, anoint yourself and contemplate any changes you might feel after application.
