MOON PRIESTESS
PERFUME:
1 Drop Queen of the
Night Oil
3 drops rose oil
1 drop lemon verbena
oil
4 fl. oz (120cc) white
spirit
Blend the three oils
in a bottle. Add the white spirit, and shake all vigorously. A cologne
can be made by adding another 1 FL. oz (30cc) of white spirit and 3 fl.
oz (90cc) of distilled water.
MOON PRIEST

1 fl.oz (30cc) lemon
verbena or Lime oil

1/2 fl.oz. (15cc) camphor

myrrh oils gives a darker perfume; increasing the camphor, a lighter and

it is worth experimenting to find your own balance.

ATHENE
OIL & INCENSE:
The olive is sacred
to Athene, so use pure olive oil as an annointing oil in particular, rub
between the palms of your hands and annoint your feet, forehead and lips.
For the Incense:
1 oz (30gm) cedarwood
chips
1/2 oz (15gm) camphor
7 drops musk oil
Female sweat (as much
as possible)
6 olives unstuffed
and preferabbly black
Blend the first four
ingredients well, at the full moon, and add the olives. Put in a jar and
leave for one month to mature. Then remove the olives (Which will have
imparted their essence to the rest) and throw them away.
Stuffed olives, both
black and green, are an obvious food for a ritual of Athene, also stuffed
vine leaves, a very Athenian dish. If possible, of course, the wine should
be Greek - especially retsina, though that is an acquired taste.
PRE-RITUAL

To cleanse and relax

Basil (for psychic
energy)

the inner self)
Lavendar (to banish
mental and emotional stress)

Rue (a traditional

Put a satchet into
your bath five minutes before you get in, to give the aromatics time to
work.
