Flying Ointment ✨UPDATE & RECIPE✨

I made a post about making a flying ointment a while ago without poisonous or mind altering plant spirits and now I am posting an update! (recipe begins on slide 5)

· Here is the original post: https://v.lemon8-app.com/al/ZYZFsRspR

I'll try to make this short and sweet. Always patch test!

✨🧹✨

Brief background:

⚝ I had to make the ointment twice since the first batch smelt like curry (I didn't use an essential oil to see how the base recipe turns out) and I used too much beeswax. I love curry, but I'd rather smell lavender when going to bed otherwise I'd get hungry haha

⚝ In the second batch, I used lavender EO. It smells amazing and helps to set the mood and mindset before falling asleep. I highly recommend adding an EO to this flying ointment. A little goes a long way! I use the back of my nail to scrape the product before applying to some pulse points.

** I want to point out that I have been doing dream and nightmare work for a very long time. I have vivid dreams and nightmares and have a process to remember them upon waking, have a dream journal, and know how to filter the meaningful from the nonsensical for myself. I also say and do certain things before falling asleep. It is important to remember that not all dreams mean something, and it is equally important to protect yourself and your space before doing this work. If you'd like me to post my approach to intuitive dreamwork please let me know and I will make a post! 🌚

✨🧹✨

My results:

⚝ The first time I used the flying ointment on the back of my neck, wrists, kneepit, and bottom of my feet. Once asleep, I felt like I was constantly dream jumping and honestly, it was a bit too much for me. I remember 4 of the dreams (all very different and involved different people) but there were many more that night. I didn't feel well rested and I felt a bit drained.

⚝ For second and all other times after the first, I applied the ointment just to my wrists and back of the knees and I had a much more pleasant experience. I have had about 1 to 3 vivid dreams each time I use this ointment, some more meaningful than others, and I journal about them in the morning for further dissection. Usually, there is some level of self-reflection, and occasionally I have reached out to a few friends if my dream concerns them to make sure they are doing alright.

I don't use this ointment every night, but I do like the outcome when I do use it!.

✨ I posted the recipe I developed here, along with how to spell the flying ointment. I didn't include the entire ritual/ spelling process since this flying ointment is designed to fit the individual making it, so feel free to make/spell it based on your practice (like making it on a certain moon phase or day of the week, lighting certain candles, etc.). There is a lot more you can do when making this like whispering to the herbal spirits while adding them to the jar or stirring in a certain direction, so see what works for you!

I had a little fun and made some stickers for my tins 😁 I like dabbling in graphic design!

~Good luck you magickal folk!~
