Tips & Warnings

• Similar oils can be made and used in the same way for different intents, such as love, health, peace, prosperity, or success. Just be sure to choose herbs and oils with properties that are aligned with your intent.

• Always pair magic with common sense. No protection oil in the world is powerful enough to help you if you step in the path of a speeding truck. Magic offers a spiritual energy boost, it does not make you invulnerable.
