The As Above Oils

Leaves

From the time they burst forth in the spring until the wind whisks them away in the autumn, leaves enfold the world with aerial enchantment. Personifying energy and growth, leaves give our magic and personal endeavors an encouraging boost. In addition, oils produced from leaves are particularly helpful when seeking and developing our true purpose in life.

Leaves add energy to other As Above oils. When combined with flowers, their growth

aspect enhances beauty and amplifies attraction. With fruit oils, leaves intensify and multiply intentions making it important to use these judiciously. For the So Below oils, leaves bring their energy to the longevity and stability of roots. The growth aspect of leaves compliments that of wood & bark and enhance their strength. Being partially of leaves, the twigs & leaves oils benefit from all aspects of leaves.

Flowers

Showy or subtle, flowers are the crowning glory of plants. They represent beauty with a goal: attraction, sex, and fertility. These essential oils can create wonderfully intoxicating blends for magic. It’s no wonder that poets and lovers for thousands of years have sung the praises of flowers. Flower oils can be used to pull the energy of leaves and the manifestation power of fruit to a centric focus of attraction and sex. When combined with a leaves & flowers oil, flower power soars. The beauty aspect of flowers can add a different dimension to leaves’ purpose and fruit’s power of success. The sexual aspect of flowers can be tempered with the control of resin oils and the stability of root oils.

Leaves and Flowers

Oils produced from a combination of leaves and flowers possess attributes and powers of both. These oils are instrumental in bolstering the single leaf or flower oils. In addition, they bring an exciting element to all As Above group oils and enhance the powers of increase and manifestation of fruit. The leaves & flowers oils bring a quality of lightness that elevates the energy of the So Below oils.

Fruit

As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, the word fruition says it all. Fruit represents manifestation and success. The feel and smell of fruit is the personification of abundance and freedom from want. Use blends of fruit oils to increase what you have and to gain what you seek. Fruit adds the power of increase to other As Above oils. In the case of leaves, their aspects of energy and growth multiply exponentially with fruit oils. Combining fruit with flowers can bring an abundance of beauty to all aspects of life. When used with So Below oils, fruit’s manifestation abilities can be instrumental especially for the longevity of roots, the control of resins, and the protection of wood & bark. In addition, roots bring the aspect of stability, which can be important when manifesting desires.
