However, if you did not have dreams, or if they were unconnected with your wish, it will not manifest” ~ Scott Cunningham’s encyclopedia of magical herbs 🌙🌾✨

Making herbal infused oils is one way to extend the life, and use of your herbs. When you successfully allow your herb to steep in oil over a certain period you allow the carrier oil to extract the natural essential oils from the herb which will last a heck of a lot longer then your bag of dried herbs.
You can use this oil to feed spells, Anoint yourself or candles, Add to
salt mixtures, etc. Like I always say the possibilities are endless, Be
creative.
Now this is not to be confused with regular essential oils which requires steam distillation. We are not making this. This is an infused oil which is less concentrated. But just as good.
So to make it is incredibly simple but even more time consuming (sorry in advance)
You’ll need a few things.
A clean glass Jar (stay away from plastic)
Herbs (dried)
The carrier oil of your choice ( I usually go for olive – or almond)
So once you have all your supplies handy its time to start. To your clean glass jar fill it about ¼ of the way full with your herb.
Next top it off ¾ full with your carrier oil. Try not to exceed the ¾ full mark because in a few days your herb will swell, And when your oil is done steeping you don’t want it to overflow.
After you mix the two you can seal up your jar nice and tight and shake vigorously for about 2 minutes. You want to aggravate the herb so it begins to release their essential oil.
Now would be a good time to infuse the oil with your intention. Think of what you want to make the oil for and push the desire into the bottle.
The last step is the most time consuming and it is to put the oil in a cool dark place (like a closet) and let it sit for 3-4 weeks shaking daily. It will be good to use in 3 but that extra week allows it to fully suck up the remaining essential oils.
After several weeks have passed you can strain your oil or leave it in. What ever you choose.
Tips
If in 3-4 weeks your oil is not the scent you hoped for you can add essential oils to the mix to enhance the smell. You can also reuse the oil in a new batch to make it more potent. Just strain the old herb, And add more. Allow it to steep for several more weeks.
You can also add crystals into the mix to amplify the herbs magical uses. I almost always throw a clear quartz in the mix.
You might find it helpful to label your bottle with the date you started just so you know how long you’ll have to wait before its ready.
