Abramelin Oil is a ceremonial magickal oil first described in a medieval grimoire called The Book of Abramelin written by Abraham the Jew and based on the Jewish Holy anointing oil of the Tanakh, found in the Book of Exodus.

Abramelin Oil is probably the ultimate consecration oil for occultists and ritual magicians and can be used to bless working tools, charms, spells and people as part of initiation or ascendancy rituals.

There seems to be confusion about the actual recipe itself though. Both proportions and ingredients have been muddled in translation from German to English, specifically the use of galangal or calamus. Both S. L Mathers and Aleister Crowley recommend galangal, particularly because it represents for them, ‘both Kether and Malkuth, the First and the Last, the One and the Many.’

The original recipe suggests using raw ingredients as part of a maceration, but Crowley advocated the use of essential oils. Our version uses both, in a subtle blend that is suitable for application to the skin (please see our standard recommendation about testing for allergy before use) as well as charms, spells and magickal items. We also like to leave raw ingredients in our bottles, as we have found that this adds to the magickal charge of our preparations. We also double consecrate all our oils, using previous batches to make the next one, for the same reason.

This has been working rather well for me so try it out yourself. Take a jar and fill it with coins, some basil and cinnamon and magic money oil. Seal it with gold or silver ribbon. Stand in a window so that it can be energised by the sun and moon, and give it a shake each day.

A long time ago I was reaching across my desk for something and withdrew my hand quickly because I thought I had burned it on a candle. It was only then that I realised I had not even got a candle let alone a lit one on my desk. I felt around again with my hand and the heat source turned out to be a pentagram drawn on normal paper in Dragon’s Blood Ink that I had been testing out earlier.

Dragon’s Blood Ink is made from the bright red resin that is obtained from the Dracaena or Daemonorops species of plants. The resin itself is used in African-American folk magic for wealth or love whilst the ink is used to inscribe magical talismans and sigils. When you write with Dragon’s Blood Ink, put your hand just above the writing afterwards and you will notice the heat that it gives off. Next time you write a cheque or sign a piece of work off with your signature think what power you are putting into those few drops of ink on paper. You are actually giving that piece of work or monetary transfer your name, your seal if you like.

Cerdwyn’s Cauldron Dragon’s Blood Ink comes complete with its own unique personal power spell scroll describing how you can create your own sigil to sign off your spells and charms and add that extra magical oomph.

You can anoint candles in two ways. Either rub the Candle Anointing Oil upwards and downwards onto the candle, from the centre out for sending magick or from the top and bottom towards the centre for receiving magick. Either way you should focus on the intent and expectation of the spell whilst annointing your candle, keeping a picture in mind or chanting words that sum up the intent or dedicate that candle to the spell or a particular deity. This not only sets your candle out as something special you are going to use in your magick but also creates the scene and starts your magick working from the word go.

Hold a silver spoon in the flame of a black candle until it turns black.Carefully scrape this black soot into a small amount of water. Repeat this a number of times until the water is black. For best results add a few drops of Raven’s Feather Ink. Think about the most negative thing in your life, something you wish to change or loose and choose a picture or word that best sums that up. Write that picture or word on piece of Spell Paper and carefully burn it in the flame of the back candle. It is always best to never re-use the same spell and componants, unless it is a repetition spell. This way your magic becomes special, has more meaning and is more effective.
