This is the oil of
which it is spoken in Liber Al vel Legis, and in Liber ABA it is said:
"This oil is compounded of four substances. The basis of
all is the oil of olive. The olive is, traditionally, the gift of Minerva,
the Wisdom of God, the logos. In this are dissolved three other oils;
oil of
myrrh, oil of cinnamon, oil of galangal. The Myrrh is attributed to
Binah, the Great Mother, who is both the understanding of the Magician
and that sorrow and compassion which results from the contemplation
of the Universe. The Cinnamon represents Tiphareth, the Sun-the Son,
in whom Glory and Suffering are identical. The Galangal represents both
Kether and Malkuth, the First and the Last, the One and the Many,
since in this Oil they are One."
It is also said in that book: "This oil is of a pure golden colour;
and when placed upon the skin it should burn and thrill through the
body with an intensity as of fire. It is the pure light translated into
terms of desire." Rest assured that this particular blend does
burn, and thrill. I need hardly mention how unwise it would be to get
it in one's eyes or other tender bits. It is, however, food-grade and
suitable for inclusion in Cakes of Light.
Available in one dram
quantities. Due to variation in the glass bottles received, oil is aliquoted
by weight, ensuring an identical and correct
volume to each purchaser. The oils which have been blended into this
lot are the purest and best that could be found:
Cinnamon (Cinamomum Zeylanicum) from Sri Lanka
Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha) from Somalia
Galangal (Alpinia Galanga) from Indonesia, and
Olive (Olea Europea) from Italy (extra virgin, of course!)
