Flying Ointment, part 1

 This ointment is said to help facilitate astral projection. The original recipe I found in my Witches Date Book, but I like to change recipes and make them my own so I made a couple changes, but the basic ingredients are the same. It said it is best done either during a new moon or full moon. I had originally planned to do it last full moon, but things were stressful at that time and so I waited and did it under the new moon of February 20th. 

I decided to use a small canning jar, it will end up in a cosmetic jar eventually. I started with 3 small amethyst stones. These were not in the original recipe and is something I added. Amethyst is said to help open your third eye and 3 is a magical number for myself and many others.

Next I added a heaping spoonful and mugwort and one of woodworm then poured in sweet almost oil making sure they were completely covered. The other thing I changed was the oil. The original recipe used grapeseed oil, but that didn't feel right for me so I decided to use sweet almond oil instead. 

That was it for now. It must sit in a window and infuse for 3 months until I can finish it. It is a long wait, but late May I will finish it in part 2 and in part 3 I will report on what if anything happened while using it.
