The Formula of the Month ~ April 2009

For April 2009, i decided to offer up my personal favorite - Crown of Success Oil.  This is my go-to oil, my I-need-a-miracle oil, a versatile helper.  Why use Crown of Sucess, you might ask, when good all-purpose formulas are easily available such as Special Oil Number 20, Petition Oil, and the like?  I know it's just a personal preference, but i use Crown of Success for any number of things because, when you boil down most situations, almost everything can be benefited by a little success.

For all supply orders this month from A Higher Source Spiritual Supply, a free 1.5 ml. vial of Crown of Success will be included in the order, free of charge.

This formula is also dear to me because it is the first one i ever created, and today's recipe is very similar to my early attempts.  The oil just worked so well from day one that it only needed small tweaks.  My Crown of Success oil also looks different than others since it's colored naturally by ground Sandalwood.  I think that little detail lends the oil an extra oomph of specialness.

Crown of Success Oil is traditionally used for academic, career, financial, and personal success.  You can see how super versatile it is.  It also lends itself nicely to blending - mixing a little Crown of Success with Love Come To Me for a powerfully successful night on the town, or how about Crown of Success combined with Gambler's Luck?   Really, the possiblities abound.

This oil also has its own unique application.  You get some of the oil on the fingers of your dominant hand, hold those fingers to the bridge of your nose at about the third eye level, visualize and pray for your upcoming success, and then open up your fingers as you run them over your forehead, up through the crown of your head, thus anointing your head with success.  Some people speak a blessing as they do so such as: "May all my works be crowned with success."

In addition to anointing your head with Crown of Success Oil, you can use it in many other ways: dress candles, amulets, and furniture; add some to a bath or to bath salts; put a few drops into your conditioner or liquid bath soap to infuse your body; wear the oil as a magical perfume before an important event; mix a few drops of the oil in some cornstarch and make your own powder with which to dress documents and business cards; and basically use the oil whenever you are in need of a little miracle.  

If your results are like mine, Crown of Success will be so useful to you, you'll want to carry the little vial around with you.  I carry some with me in tis own little carrying case, and i find many opportunites to use this formula and be benefited by its presence.

The Formula of the Month ~ March 2009

I'm a few days behind, but what else is new - the formula of the month for all of March, 2009,. is Red Fast Luck, in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  A free vial of Red Fast Luck Condition Oil will be included in all orders placed this month.  Yay free stuff!

Red Fast Luck is for - you guessed it - good luck!  It's a traditional hoodoo oil, the recipe having been documented in Zora Neal Hurston's book, "Mules and Men."  Red Fast Luck oil is made with WIntergreen, Cinnamon, and Vanilla, amongst other ingredients, and i think it smells heavenly!

As implied in the title, Red Fast Luck works quickly - think of a sprint verus a marathon - and is a fantastic choice when you need things to go your way RIGHT NOW!  Red Fast Luck works equally well for money luck, gambling luck, and luck in love; therefore it makes a great all-purpose attraction and success oil.

FYI:  Red Fast Luck Oil has Cinnamon essential oil as an ingredient.  This oil can be irritating to folks with sensitive skin.  Now, i use a light hand with Cinnamon essential oil, but please be forewarned.  Try a dab on your wrist, and if it burns a bit, then please dilute the oil.  Use half Red Fast Luck Oil to half a carrier oil of your choosing - Vegetable Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, even Olive Oil.  If you absolutely know already that your skin is super, super sensitive to Cinnamon oil, let me know and i'll dilute it for you.  Don't worry, though.  This is for like 1 out of 50 people.  I use it all the time with no burning at all.  Just better safe than sorry, know what i mean?

Wear Red Fast Luck as a lucky scent; anoint any lucky pocket pieces and amulets you have; use Red Fast Luck on your money altar or Lodestones for a quick surge of cash; dress your bed frame to draw in sexual luck; anoint your front door frame to attract general good luck into your home; lightly rub a little oil on the back of a necklace pendant to infuse it with good fortune; anoint your gambling money with a dab of oil before cashing it in for chips.  I'm sure you can come up with a million more usages for this very versatile oil.  It's good stuff!

The Formula of the Month ~ February 2009

LOVE SWEET LOVE

Ah, love...  It's fitting to chose a love oil for February with Valentine's Day and all, but really, love oils are the things people want - along with love spells, love baths, love mojo bags, love amulets, love candles, and well, love advice.  So, to not disappoint, i hereby dub "Love, Sweet, Love" as The Formula of the Month for February 2009.  Hooray!

So what's the Formula of the Month, you ask?  Well, it's a new little promotion i've decided to undertake.  For every Higher Source order over ten dollars placed during this month, i will throw in a 1.5 ml. sample vial of Love, Sweet, Love Condition Oil free of charge (and i know someone will ask so i'll say it up front, please don't ask if you can substitute it out for another formula.  That's just no fun and it's not playing by the rules - The Sacred Formula of the Month Rules, okay?).  In case you don't have a mental visual of what a 1.5 ml. vial looks like, think of those little skinny glass tubes that perfume samples come in - you know the ones with the little plastic dipstick?  My vials are the exact same, but even a tad bigger.  It's really a sizable amount of condition oil, especially considering the price (free!).

Love, Sweet, Love is one of the first formulas i ever created.  I was not so business-minded then, quite ignorant, and i had named this formula Love Potion Number 9.  Well, all was fine for a few years until stupid me put up an eBay auction with my wonderful Love Potion Number 9 for sale.  The auction was up for a few hours before the lawful owner of the name "Love Potion Number 9," quite angered, sent me a very motivated legalese email-letter demanding i take down my auction immediately due to trademark infringement.  Yikes!  Please don't sue the home-brewing rootworker, please!  (i have no money, only stupidity, i'm really truly sorry, please don't sue!!!)  Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh!  I really should have known that name would have been trademarked.  I mean really, Julia, how stupid can you be?  Oh, well.  Needless to say, out of the ashes of *my version* of Love Potion Number 9, Love Sweet Love was born and is here to stay.  Same formula, same oil, different name.  (Oh, and they didn't sue me.  They were actually quite nice.  Apparently this exact thing happens to them all the time , go figure)

Love Sweet Love is a fantastic all-purpose love oil which includes Coriander and Red Clover as two of the nine ingredients.  If you only have money to spend on one love oil, this is a good one for you - you'll get a lot of mileage out of it.  You can use Love Sweet Love to attract a new mate.  You can use it to heat things up and generally enhance your love life.  Love Sweet Love will even work on strengthening an existing relationship.  Good stuff!

Love Sweet Love is sweet-smelling.  People love it and are attracted to its scent like flies, as it has vanilla-sugary overtones with a bit of earthy floral.  But for those who don't want to smell like fresh baked cookies, never fear!  As is the case with all my oils, i scent them with a light touch.  None of my scents are overpowering - they are made to be worn under your usual cologne or perfume without conflict.  Men can wear Love Sweet Love without worry of smelling effeminate.  Now, if you want the scent to be noticeable, just apply the oil more liberally and more often.  You'll find that the little vial is quite portable and lends itself well to touch-ups.

Here's a tip:  Want your home to be infused with a romantic aura?  You know those bamboo diffuser thingys that are so popular now - the flower vase container filled with scented oil that has a bouquet of dowel rod bamboo sticks coming out of it?  Turn that into a magical diffuser.  Add a few drops of Love Sweet Love Condition Oil into the existing oil in the bamboo diffuser - the smells won't compete since you're using just a few drops.  The bamboo rods will slowly and steadily emit the magic of your condition oil creating a tangible vibration of love in the air.  Try it the next time you invite your lover over for dinner *wink wink*
