Samhain Recipes: Oils

For candles and altars, the following recipes can be used for your Samhain celebration or for specific activities during Samhain (such as to help divination).

Recipe 1
1oz base olive oil
4 drops Pine Oil
2 drops Frankincense oil
2 drops Patchouli oil
2 drops Lavender oil

Recipe 2 
3 drops Cedarwood
3 drops clove
3 drops frankincense
3 drops patchouli
3 drops rosemary

Samhain Recipes: Incense

If you would like to make your own Incenses for Samhain,  I would suggest you to include herbs that have special meaning for Samhain.

For example:

For Remembrance: you can use Rosemary
For Purification: you can use Sage and Salt
For Protection: you can use Marigold, Pepper (for ghostly protection), Cinnamon, Wormwood ( protection against evil spirits)
To Honor the Earth: Patchouli and Pine.
To Honor the ancestors: Marigold

Sage is also a good herb for wisdom. Apple and Apple leaves can be used for the Sabbat of Samhain itself and for fall too. Mugwort is good for psychic awareness and to aid divination. Bay and Bay leaves are good for psychic powers.

Samhain Recipes!

I've posted enough recipes for Halloween, I think.

Let's go back to MY tradition and continue with more Samhain recipes for the Sabbat itself and not the ''party'' side of it as it is known nowadays for most of people (meaning Halloween).

If you're doing a feast for Samhain, here are more recipes for this Sabbat

Dry Martini Eyeball 

Ingredients:

12 Radishes
12 Pimento Stuffed Olives, halved
3 cups Vodka
½ cup Olive Juice
Ice Cubes

To make Eyeball Ice Cubes:

Peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin for veins and blood vessels. Using the pointed end of a vegetable peeler or small paring knife, cut out an olive size hole in each radish. Stuff an olive half into each hole, pimiento stuffing side out. Place each olive stuffed radish into an ice cube tray. You may have to trim some of the radishes to fit. Cover with water and freeze for 4 hours or until frozen.

 In a pitcher, add vodka, olive juice and ice cubes. Stir well to chill. Add Eyeball ice cubes. Serve at once.

I do several posts about Samhain recipes as I didn't want to write one big (long...very long) post about it.
