I have been really impressed by the feedback that I have received about the new range of Magickal Oils that I have in store at the Covenstead. Even more so by the requests to supply them wholesale!
It has been difficult sourcing some of the ingredients, as some of them like ‘Ambergris’ are actually substances exctreted by the organs of a sperm whale! Needless to say alternative products to ingredients such as these have been sourced.
It has indeed been a voyage of diecovery, I have found it fascinating to see what was readily available all those years ago is now severely frowned upon, and to think that people were handling these substances – occasionally poisonous, seemingly without a second thought.
i do have to point out though, that all ‘replacement’ or ’substitute’ ingredients have been thoroughly researched and ethically sourced, so that they still bring the sought after magickal elements to the oil blend, and also comply with our philosophy of ethics and care for the environment.
So at the minte we have all of the elemental oils in store, as well as the twelve astrological/zodiac oils, plus a range of planetary oils including solar and lunar, which is just leaving the spell & request oils currently in development.
Each 10ml bottle of oil is priced at £3.75 (Retail) and comes complete with a ribbon tied information scroll, which details what the oil should be use for and the types of magickal properties that it has.
Should anyone want to know more, or have any questions, please feel free to email me at thecovenstead@googlemail.com and I’ll do my best to answer any questions and get back to you as soon as I can.
Bright Blessings!
I am really pleased to announce that the first of the Magickal Oils I was telling you about are now in store at The Covenstead.
So far I have uploaded the elemental oils – Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit, and also the astrological/Zodiac Oils.
I have always found that the zodiac oils have worked well, mine is taurus, I find it soothing and very earthy. So not only does it provide a calming influence, it assists in helping me to feel a little more grounded and centered.
My partners oil is Aquarius, and I have found that using this oil blend to massage really does offer him some relief from tension and stress, especially after a ‘bad day’, plus he actually liked the aroma, which being a ‘bloke’ struck me as being a huge success!
All of the ingredients for the oils have been ethically sourced, and none of them have been tested on animals – human experimentation only! (I wouldn’t have it any other way).
I have just emailed the next batch of recipes through to Helen to work with and put into production, this time the more ‘important’ Ritual Oils. Helen is doing a really great Job, and we have found that we are thinking the same way about things that need to be adapted, for example when an ingredient is no longer available – due to the age of the recipe! great minds think alike eh?
