We know that scent plays a major role in the art of passion. We also know that essential oils can have noticeable effects on our moods and physical responses.
Are essential oil blends the answer? Well, science has been unable to provide any concrete answers, however, do any digging through folklore medicine references and you will certainly find all kinds of herbal folklore suggestions and talisman ideas.
Considering the season, I thought it would be fun to pull out some love potion recipes and let you decide if you want to try any to see for yourself. I will not be held responsible for the consequences - good, bad or otherwise. Just remember the old saying "Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it!"
All these blends can be used in diffusers, used to scent body powders, to create a scented spray, in a massage oil or as a personal scent (dilute to 1% in jojoba) and worn on pulse points.
Actual formulas are not given here, as part of the power of a potion lies with the creator of the blend. The oils are listed in terms of what portion of the blend they form: MA=major, MI=minor, T=trace. If there is an asterik (*) after the oil, that indicates the oil is a possible irritant and should be used with caution.
Mixing a blend is simple enough. In a glass bottle or vial (essential oils will dissolve many plastics), start with five drops for a MA and three for a MI and one drop for a T. Sniff the result and add more of what you like to create your perfect love blend. When complete, hold the bottle between your hands for five minutes, concentrating on your loved one. Your body will warm the oils to complete the blend and your personal energies will be transferred into the mix, making it truly your own.
Binding Love - Ylang Ylang (MA), Jasmine (MA), Champa (MI), Tuberose (MI), White Wine (MI). For this one, place a few drops of this on your lover's and your heart to bind them in your mutual love for eternity.
May you find love in your life and peace in your heart.
