On a Saturday (as the moon increases in February), in either hour of Venus, stir together the ingredients in order making sure to charge each oil first and then again between each addition. Be certain that the oils are blended well with each addition. I find that heating them slightly helps to bind the oils together well.
Just be sure to heat them by setting CLOSED vials in very hot but NOT boiling water until the water is cool. Shake well before opening. Caution must be exercised as some glass does not endure heat well. If the water is too hot they may burst. Test tubes with a cork work well.
To make this into a perfume simply dilute the oil with pure grain alcohol to which you've added a bit of blackberry brandy. If the liqour looks swirled, you've too much oil. It usually looks a milky purple when finished, but a lot depends on the quality of the oils and the brandy. I let this set for several months before using and it smells heavenly!
Combine ingredients in a clear glass vial. This looks really nice with the whole herbs. I like to wait a while before using, but many a Mambo find no reason to.
Combine dry ingredients and grind to a fine powder, mix all of them together thoroughly. Add two TBL. of powder to the oil and mix. Add salt and blend. Add ammonia and shake well. Divide contents into 1 OZ. dark bottles for storing. Use remaining herb mix as incense in combination with oil if you desire.
On a Friday in the hour of Venus as the moon increases (preferably as Taurus or Libra are in their house) combine and charge each oil to the Goddess Sjofna and combine, swirling together the oils well with each addtion. "
