Hi, Are you making it with Myrrh, Cinnamon and Galangal, or are you using the recipe with Calamus instead of the Galangal? Obviously the scent will be quite different depending on which formula you're going with. Also, are you using strictly EO's or will you be using macerated aromatic materials? That too will make a big difference in the end result. *Smile* (who long long ago in a galaxy far far away (a.k.a.

Our idea in making it to take internally was that it connects you with that aspect all the time, rather than just within the context of the ritual, so that every action you take is guided by your better and more wise aspects of being. It is amazing as an oil, also, and even our Spagyric of it smells wonderful, I have added a drop of it to perfumes I've made to bring in that higher guidance. We use both Calamus and Galangal, as we feel each of them brings a unique quality to the blend. The easiest way to do it would be in the blending of the oils already made, although Calamus oil is hard to find. Next easiest would be to macerate the herbs in the oil. If you have the equipment and skill, you could extract the oils yourself, they are all plants with a good amount of oil in them, not too hard to do as these things go. (Note that if you do make any version based on essential oils, don't use it intenally. Our Spagyric was created differently, more like an extraction, and so is safe to eat, but essential oils of these plants would not be). Whatever way you choose, I do hope you work with this blend somehow, as it is a very powerful and helpful formula that has really guided me when I needed it. It's a great blend (oil or internally) to use when you're at a crossroads in life or need insight and right action on something difficult. Wikipedia has a good overview of the blend in its various permutations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abramelin_oil Strength & Wisdom, leavesofjoy www.al-kemi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in '97, made some of this as " Holy " or " Annointing " oil..... Out of EO........ As leavesofjoy pointed out.....If you do this out of EO, in no way is it ingestable.... maybe not even good to go on the skin... Around the holidays sometimes, I use a water/candle diffuser.....to tone the mood.... The EO's I used....(dug out me notebook).... 2 parts myrhh 1 part cinnamon leaf 1 part calamus 2 parts cassia The result is very cinnamon like......cassia and cinnamon being related..... And there's a darker fragrance tone underlying it.... I forget where I got the recipe back then..... For some reason no galangal..... The heavy component here is the calamus EO...... Calamus EO (Acorus calamus) has high levels of asarone....a nasty assed ketone..... It's one of them things where the EO process can make it dangerous.... Now it's true the stuff should be diluted....in olive oil..... I made some both ways...... -- W. Bourbonais L'Hermite Aromatique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shall be a blended compound, as made by a skilled perfumer, [made especially for] the sacred anointing oil. <SNIPS> http://tinyurl.com/zdq5x The rite described by Abraham Elim is, above all else, a marriage ceremony : On the Tenth Day of Akitu, my True Love... http://tinyurl.com/yqtvyt See Raphael Patai's *The Jewish Alchemists: A History and Source Book*, 1994, for more information on Abraham ben Simeon ben Judah ben Simeon's *The Mystical Kabbalah of the Egyptians and the Patriarchs, which is the Book of the True Old Divine Magic, Written by Abraham Son of Simon for His Younger Son Lamech*, aka *The Sacred Magic of Abraham Elim the Mage*. Cors in Manu Domine, ~ Khem Caigan <Khem@...> " Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching; and again, unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, lest you be given up to death and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. But rouse yourself crying: Holy, holy, holy, art Thou, O our God. " ~ The Common Troparion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone enlighten me of its origins? There was some interesting pointers about this and I am looking forward to hearing more.... > Every good wish, Janita Janita, Abra-Melin is pretty amazing stuff, the origin is biblical, and then taken up by the Hermetic practitioners of the western line such as Mathers and Crowley. In Mather's work, the incense is part of an elaborate, months-long ritual working to know & converse with your Holy Guardian Angel, to know the Angel's name & be able to call on the Angel in times of need. Mather's text can be found online at: http://www.sacred-texts.com/grim/abr/index.htm It is very powerful, although I haven't found it visionary-shamanic, it's more about claiming power and wisdom from a higher place. I have been at some powerful rituals where it was used as an incense and in cakes used as sacrament, and definitely felt a powerful and intense presence, my hair was on end for several hours after.(The Hermetic idea of the Guardian Angel is not like the cutesie winged fat baby concept.) In my work with it internally, and with the many people I've shared it with, the transition to the Presence is much less dramatic, more of a solidifying of the sense of self and a confidence that no matter what arises, insight will come & the right decision will be made. This can come through dreams, sudden knowledge, connections to people who have what you need, and the like. I feel like much of the magic is in knowing the magic will be there when you need it.
