Making Essential Oils
Essential Oils are used in many spells and are often costly, when you can find the ones you want! To make your own, you'll need quite a lot of plant material and a little patience.
To Extract with Oil...
Pack a glass pan with the herb or blend you like, then cover with vegetable oil. Let this steep for at least a day, two is better. Strain away the plant material and repack with fresh herbs. Use the same oil! Do this at least five more times and store the finished product in a tightly sealed jar or bottle. This oil can be used in spells, for making candles, potpourris, bath oils and soaps.
To Extract with Alcohol...
Do the same as above but use un-denatured ethyl alcohol or vodka (no kidding). Don't use rubbing alcohol. This kind of extract can be used in spells or for perfumes etc.
