Lavender

Wisteria



Never use except when the death of an enemy is desired. Will reverse its mighty power if used for any other reason.

16 parts lemongrass oil

8 parts citronella oil

1 part vetivert oil

1 part palmarosa oil

1 part gingergrass oil if you can get it



Mix together and let sit for at least week. This is your stock oil. Do not apply it directly, for like all uncut essential oils, it can be a skin irritant to some people.

Therefore:



In each 1/2 oz. bottle of VAN VAN OIL to be made up, place



a pinch of dried lemongrass leaves

a pinch of crushed pyrite crystals

one full standard dropper-full of the above stock blend



Fill the bottle with undyed almond oil as a carrier

Chili Powder

Cinnamon

Galangal

Black Pepper

Iron Filings

Vetivert

Bitter Aloes



Use when you desire to break any relationship. Creates animosity between lovers and business associates. Forces an eventual separation.



This is probably the most traditional hoodoo-style formula in Herman Slater's Neo-Pagan collection. I would substitute ground-up lemon peels for the cinnamon (the latter is more commonly found in money-drawing formulae,

while the former is one of the "cut and clear" scents) but other than that small quibble, i think this is a good one, and heavily symbolic, too, because Galangal, a.k.a. Little John Chew or Court Case Root might land the couple in divorce court!

Bayberry Root

Bayberry Oil (usually only available as a synthetic)

Pyrite Chips

Top with carrier oil

(e.g. almond oil which has been dosed with Vitamin E)

Mix:

6 drops of rose essential oil

4 drops of jasmine essential oil

4 drops of bergamot essential oil

8 drops of sandalwood essential oil

Blended in 50cc of a massage oil base (I would use sweet almond oil). Begin by massaging yourself until the aroma, warmed by your body, gets to him. Then start to massage him. Let him massage you. Soon the magic mixture will have the two of you singing love's old sweet song.

Take one ounce each of the following:

rose buds

acacia flowers

orange buds

jasmine flowers

bay leaf

rosemary

myrtle

thyme

Add 1/2 teaspoonful of musk

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil and add 1 ounce of the mixed herbs (save the rest in an airtight jar for your next liaison). Lower the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat and half fill your tub with warm water. Strain the mixture and pour the clear liquid into the tub. Add 25 drops of ambergris tincture and get into the tub. Then, invite your True Love to come and soak with you. If this doesn't get him in the mood...check his pulse.

Mix together a handful each of the fresh or dried herbs:

lavender flowers

rosemary

mint

crushed comfrey root

thyme

celandine

Put the mixture in an earthenware crock and pour 1 quart of boiling water over it. Let stand covered for 20 minutes, and then pour the clear portion into the tub. Get in and just relax for 15 minutes. Take the phone off the hook, light some candles, and dim the lights...Mmmmmmm.

Ashes

Red Pepper

Rose

Jasmine

Sandalwood

color: Blue



Toss on any person who is angry over something you have done. Eliminates all feelings of animosity. Also good for overcoming hatred.



One thing about Herman Slater's formulae is that he always liked things to smell nice -- and this one surely does!



The ashes seem to symbolize an end to flames -- but I am unsure why he called for red pepper in an anger-calming powder. Generally, red pepper is used to heat things up and to create discord. And think about it -- if you go around throwing red pepper powder on angry folks and it gets up their nose or in their eyes, they'll be mad as hell!



Well, Herman is gone, and i can't ask him why he added that odd ingredient, but I would recommend something sweeter, like powdered sugar, in place of the red pepper in this recipe.

Lemon

Orange peel

Cassia

color: Brown



A special blend which allows you to relax while others do your work. Sprinkle on any person you wish to gain control over. Lets you dominate their thoughts.



In some ways, this is a "hotter" version of a famous old Attraction Powder formula. You could substitute cinnamon for cassia if needed.

People often ask me. "If Dove's Blood Ink used to be made with the blood of Doves and Bat's Blood Ink used to be made with the blood of Bats, what did Dragon's Blood Ink used to me made with?"



The answer is that "Dragon's Blood" does not refer to the life-fluid of mythical beasts -- it is the name of the dark red sap or dried resin from a species of palm tree, the Dragon Palm.



Herman Slater's formula, given below is quite good, if you want to make your Dragon's Blood Ink from scratch. However, if ink-making is too much trouble for you, any high quality red ink with chunks of Dragon's Blood resin added to it is appropriate. Most of the time this magical ink is used to write luck- or protection-talismans and pacts, and the resin itself is also carried on the person or burned as incense for the same purpose.



1 part dragon's blood resin

15 parts alcohol

1 part gum arabic

Slater's formula is interesting, but of course, real, authentic Dove's Blood Ink is made by slitting the throat of a white dove and using its blood to write with. But most people don't like that idea, so they use a convenient substitute. Any high quality red ink with rose scent added is appropriate to use as Dove's Blood, because most of the time this magical ink is called for, it is used to write love-talismans and pacts, and rose is one of the primary love-essences.



1 part dragon's blood resin

2 drops cinnamon oil

2 drops bay oil

10 parts alcohol

1 part gum arabic

2 drops rose oil

Recipes vary from person to person. They are generally floral in tone and usually red in colour.



Scents used in such an oil may include sweet pea and narcissus (usually only available as synthetic fragrances, not as essential oils), rose (available as a real essential oil -- called otto or attar of roses -- but so expensive as to be prohibitively costly for most people, who therefore use a synthetic fragrance instead), rose geranium (a real essential floral oil that has a very good rose scent), and other floral synthetics, such as wistaria, honeysuckle, violet, and the like.



Herbs mixed into in the finished, fragranced oil may include catnip leaf (to entice a lover), saffron stamens (for love-drawing), rose petals, (for love-drawing), damiana leaf (to increase passion) and/or patchouli leaf (ditto). Queen

Elizabeth Root (used to attract men) may be added to the mixture if the person using it is a female or a gay male.



One difficulty many folk-magicians have with floral scents as a basis for magical perfume oils is that so many of our favourite flowers do not produce a great deal of essential oil. When this is the case, the oil is very expensive.



But that is not the greatest hurdle we must overcome. Some flowers, no matter how lovely they smell, do not produce stable essential oils at all. Whenever that is the case, essential oils from these flowers are unavailable at any cost and synthetics are the only recourse one has.



The question then becomes one of deciding whether to go with an artificial fragrance that mimics a given floral scent to a greater or lesser degree -- or to forgo that scent in favour of one that is available in actual flower-derived form.



Is the magic in the herb itself -- or in the aroma?



How do we decide?



We all agree that attar of roses is beyond the financial reach of most working people.



We all agree that rose geranium oil comes from a geranium -- not a rose. But it SMELLS as much or more like certain types of roses than synthetic rose oils do.



So... is a good, natural rose geranium essential oil magically more effective than an artificial rose scent? Or is substitution of any kind an automatic obviation of the magical working? Shall only wealthy people have access to the magic of rose oil?



I tend to choose natural essential oils over synthetics or, if I must, mix them half-and-half. But that's just me ... your mileage may vary.

Frankincense Tears

Benzoin Gum, crushed

Essential Oil of Frankincense

Essential Oil of Benzoin

Rose scent, which can be one or more of these:

Essential Oil of Roses (Rose Otto)

Essential Oil of Rose Geranium

Rose Fragrance (synthetic)

Rose Petals

Top with carrier oil

(e.g. almond oil which has been dosed with Vitamin E)

You can also add Vitamin E oil for the same purpose. I use a "glurp" of same to each gallon of almond oil and mix well.

There are many recipes for Black Arts Oil. Here's a quick one:



half a dropper essential oil of patchouli

half a dropper essential oil of black pepper

a pinch of valerian root

a pinch of black poodle dog hair

a pinch of black mustard seeds

a pinch of spanish moss

a pinch of mullein

a pinch of powdered sulphur

nine whole black peppercorns



Blend into one half-ounce carrier oil such as almond.

Colour dark brown.

Slater's formula is useful, but of course, real, authentic Bat's Blood Ink is made by slitting the throat of a bat and using its blood to write with.

But most people don't like that idea, so they use a convenient substitute. Any high quality red ink with Cinnamon and Myrrh essential oils or scent added is appropriate to use as Bat's Blood Ink, in my experience.



2 parts dragon's blood resin

1/2 part myrrh resin

2 drops cinnamon oil

2 drops indigo color

12 parts alcohol

1/2 part gum arabic



No instructions are given, although I suppose you steep the ground resins in the alcohol till dissolved, then add the cinnamon oil, indigo, and ground gum arabic. Filter and bottle.



For "indigo color" I presume Herman Slater intended to use synthetic dye; true indigo requires a complex process of repeated oxygenation and steeping to produce a blue tint, which would darken the orange and rusty reds of the other ingredients listed.
