Dream Oil
This magic oil was created as an aid to prophetic dreaming, with many of its ingredients ruled by Moon, the celestial force most connected to dreaming. Mugwort (Moon) has a long history as a divinatory aid, especially for prophetic dreaming. Clary sage (Moon) encourages especially vivid dreams, and its warm scent also soothes anxiety, thus opening the way to the astral. Hops, a traditional sleeping aid, gives a feeling of warm expansiveness that is typical for a Sun herb and helpful for relaxing into the dream world. Chamomile, said to chase away nightmares, is likewise calming and soothing but is ruled by Moon and so balances out the hops. Lavender, also known for its calming properties and for encouraging deep sleep, is ruled by Mercury, who guides and helps those engaged in magic, thus making it a powerful aid within the dream world. Bulgarian rose, also thought to promote vivid dreams, brings a lush Venus scent and wisdom from feminine aspects of the divine. And finally, blue yarrow (Venus) has historically been implicated in divination - the I Ching was originally cast with yarrow stalks, for example. This magick oil gets its olive citrine color naturally from the essential oils of yarrow and chamomile. Put a few drops on a dream sachet under your pillow or rub it on your wrists or neck before you go to sleep. You can even add a few drops to a diffuser that you leave near your bed.
