From time immemorial, fragrances have been part of rituals and an integral element of magic. Magic incense, essential oils, candles and even flowers. Anything that emits a scent can serve magic and sorcery.

Is it possible to overestimate the ability to smell and smell? We cannot imagine life without smell. When we have a cold and stuffy nose, food becomes tasteless and the world loses its color.

Smells matter when choosing a pair. In the end, by smell we determine whether to eat this or that food! But have you ever wondered what kind of power, what magical power is hidden behind aromas?

The influence of smells on a person occurs in two, so to speak, planes. Let's consider them separately, conditionally calling them "scientific" and "magic". Let's make a reservation right away that when describing the properties of aromas, we will take into account both of them.

The “scientific” explanation of smells and aromas

The ability to quickly respond to odors, to identify them as threatening or attractive, has developed over the course of evolution as a mechanism responsible for safety. Therefore, a person is very susceptible to smells, and this is the secret of their action.

However, the aromatic substances of essential oils and incense are very volatile, spread quickly, enter the nasal mucosa and almost instantly affect the nervous and endocrine systems of the body. Thus, there is an activation of one or another “scenario”, stimulation of certain functions.

For example, perception is sharpened, relaxation sets in, or, conversely, attention increases. It may begin to fall asleep, or vice versa - a wave of vivacity will come, the tone will increase. It all depends on what flavor you choose and for what purpose. Aromatherapy is based on this principle.

Aromatherapy is the treatment of the body and soul with the help of aromas.

In addition, associations also have power over us. Thus, the aroma of coffee beans invigorates and clears the mind, not only because it affects the nervous system in this way, but also because it is associated with a good morning and promising wonderful events in the afternoon.

The magical influence of smells and aromas

The second layer of influence is magical influence. We are talking about those effects that cannot be explained by the science known to us. But it can be explained by magic known to us.
The magical properties of smells and aromas are somehow connected with the elements to which the fragrance belongs, with planetary and zodiacal correspondences. Thus, aromas bring success, promote good luck and prosperity, lure money, attract love. Some of the fragrances also protect against spoilage and the evil eye.

The magic of smells combines the use of essential oils and their mixtures, incense in the form of sticks, cones, resins.

Let's not forget scented candles! A separate story - magical handmade perfumes. Creating a magical perfume requires a lot of training, just a perfect sense of smell and the highest level of craftsmanship.

For this reason, we will not dwell on this in detail, but only express our highest respect to those who are able to enclose entire stories, fairy tales, landscapes and images of stunning beauty in a perfume bottle.

magical incense

Incense in the form of sticks or cones is used very, very actively in rituals. They are inexpensive, they form a smoke that is pleasing to the eye (especially wonderful creeping incense-cones!), and a set of various kinds of incense can be found in the cherished bedside table of every self-respecting witch.

The only caveat is that the aromas of smoldering incense are somehow smoky, and if you see the word “fresh” in the description of a fragrance, this is certainly not the freshness that is in a living plant or in oil.

Aroma candles

On the contrary, the easiest way to get a gentle warm scent is to light a scented candle.

Choose candles scented with natural oils and plants, or make your own - it's easy.

Do not use scented candles bought in supermarkets or in unverified places for magical purposes, as candles scented with artificial substances will not give the expected result.

Magic resins

The same goes for resins. Some resins, such as frankincense or copal, are a kind of classic ritual magic, they give a good smoke, but require careful handling and some skill.

Essential oils and their use in magical rites

Essential oils are fragrant substances, the molecules of which are small enough to quickly evaporate or penetrate into the human body.

There is no oil or fat in them, so they are called oils conditionally. These are concentrated odors and the essence of the life force of the plant, a kind of blood and lymph. In their pure form, they are not used or are used very rarely for local application.

Essential oils are usually added to carrier oils. They are quite easy to use and the range of flavors is simply amazing. Sweet, spicy, oriental, woody, floral - the choice is huge.

The use of essential oils in magic is possible in several ways:

  • aroma lamps;
  • mixtures with base oil for application to the body or objects;
  • without base oil, apply a mono-aroma or a mixture to objects (application to the skin can be dangerous!);
  • add to baths, creams, shampoos and other women's things to adjust the image (for example, to increase attractiveness, attract success, etc.)

The magical properties of essential oils are very extensive, and you can find a fragrance for any task.
First of all, we will discuss the nuances of use.

The magical properties of odors and their proper use are very important, but some safety rules must be observed!

Do not leave a burning aroma lamp unattended! Always fill the water tank with enough water. Also, do not leave burning incense, resins and candles unattended.

Never apply undiluted essential oil to the skin! An allergic reaction or even a burn is possible. Always dilute an essential oil in a neutral base oil.

For example, you can use jojoba oil, grape seed oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil. Choose oils with a slightly pronounced aroma.

Don't overdo it: essential oils have a very high concentration of fragrance. A few drops are enough.
Now that we have cleared up the issues of safe use, let's get down to business.

The energy of air also helps to insure against damage and the evil eye. Among all the elements, air today should be recognized as the least studied element. We are accustomed to the fact that the air surrounds us everywhere. We breathe it and don't even think about it most of the time. The air seems to live some kind of life that does not depend on us. But it is not so.

Essential oils from the evil eye and spoilage

As for getting rid of spoilage and the evil eye and their prevention, here you will need to fumigate the house with essential oils to control the air. In total, twelve types of essential oils can be used to achieve these goals, each of which is strictly aimed at its own sphere. Six types for the prevention of damage and the evil eye, six types for getting rid of damage and the evil eye. As with fire, the work is done in your home. After the diagnostic procedure, you identify what exactly is happening to you, and based on this, determine the type of essential oil that you will fumigate your home with.

Type of essential oil from spoilage:

  • damage to health - "Rose"
  • damage to personal life - "Jasmine"
  • damage to the public sphere - "Orange"
  • evil eye on health - "Saffron"
  • evil eye on personal life - "Eucalyptus"
  • evil eye on the public sphere - "Mint"

That is, you will use these essential oils when you want to protect your home, your loved ones, you personally from damage and from the evil eye. Exposing a barrier against the type of damage that you are afraid of, you walk around your house, through its various rooms, fumigating all corners, trying to make sure that not even the smallest element of your house is left bypassed by smoking fragrant ether. At the same time, in each room, pronounce your words when fumigating. When fumigating rooms, you should constantly repeat the following words:

“The ether will absorb all the bad, cleanse all the good. As if the world leads to another, keeping its pea.

After all the rooms are fumigated to prevent spoilage, you move on to the attic. There you pronounce the following words in the process of fumigation:

"The tops are cleansed of the bad in order to let the good into themselves."

Then you go down to the underground, where you fumigate all the corners, saying almost the same phrase as they used to say in the attic:

"The lower classes are cleansed of evil in order to let good into themselves."

After the underground comes the turn of the toilet. If your toilet and bathroom are separate, then two fumigations are carried out here with a sentence of exactly the same words:

“Everything unclean, everything bad will leave my house forever. Will be given only to the kindest.”

Following the bathroom, you head to the pantry. There you fumigate all the corners and at the same time say these words:

“Let the evil leave the darkest rooms, let only the good remain and let it come.”

After the pantry, it is the turn of the balcony or loggia. Go out onto the loggia and balcony and fumigate this type of room, while not forgetting to pronounce these words:

“The air of ether to the air of the world. Glorious to glorious, good to good, strength to strength, happiness to happiness. The air of the world carries away sadness, and sadness is not at all a pity.

Following this, you carefully fumigate the kitchen, trying not to miss anything. And while doing so, say something like this:

“Everyone chooses their own path. May there be many of these roads.

The last phase on the way to completely blocking the kind of corruption you really fear is the fumigation of the corridor with essential oil. You start fumigating from the side of the living quarters and purposefully go to the front door, while saying the following words without ceasing:

“Evil, go away on this moonlit night. I will open the door to good behind empty paths.

On this, the rite of prevention of damage in your home can be considered complete.

Video: The Magic of Fragrances. Sacred properties of essential oils

The art of aromatherapy originated in ancient Egypt. The inhabitants of civilization knew all the secrets and subtleties of using aromatic oils and incense. Fragrances have found their widest application: from the simple scenting of linen and the preparation of aromatic baths to the most complex process of embalming pharaohs and creating medicinal potions. Moreover, the Egyptians noticed the special power of the impact of aromatherapy on the emotions and mood of a person.

However, the term "aromatherapy" itself was coined much later, thanks to an incident with a French chemist in 1928.

The art of aromatherapy originated in ancient Egypt. The inhabitants of civilization knew all the secrets and subtleties of using aromatic oils and incense. Fragrances have found their widest application: from the simple scenting of linen and the preparation of aromatic baths to the most complex process of embalming pharaohs and creating medicinal potions. Moreover, the Egyptians noticed the special power of the impact of aromatherapy on the emotions and mood of a person.

However, the term "aromatherapy" itself was coined much later, thanks to an incident with a French chemist in 1928. Gattefosse, a lab worker, suffered a severe burn and poured lavender essential oil on it. A little later, the Frenchman was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly the wound healed. Subsequently, he began to carefully study other essential oils, conducting various procedures.
