Astarte - Spell Oil

Breathe easier with this spell oil - no cloying scents or artificial colouring. Safe to wear, see details below.

Formulated from 18+ oils for the ultimate protection and prosperity for sex workers, and as a tribute to the goddess Astarte who was, among other, more well-known aspects, the fierce guardian of sacred temple prostitutes, and of sex workers throughout history. This oil blend doubles as an alluring fragrance, and can be used on the self for a personal spell, as well as to dress candles and more ritual-based spellwork to set your intentions. It's created with love and respect for all sex workers, and those who wish to assert their bodily autonomy even without financial support.

It has notes of allspice, bergamot, cassia, cinnamon bark, clary sage, clove, ginger, nutmeg, black pine, vetiver, sandalwood, opium, and a few other notes.

To wear:

• 1 drop on each wrist, then rubbed behind your ears, and a drop or two wherever else you want to put it.
• We wear it neat with no trouble, but dilute it 1:1 with your favourite carrier oil if you have sensitive skin.
• Or just dab it on your clothes where your body will warm them. (Please do your due diligence on your fabrics to make sure they won't be damaged by oils!)

To scent your space:

• 4-5 drops into an oil warmer or diffuser will do the trick. You shouldn't need much more!

For spell work:

• Wearing it is its own spell, but it's also perfect to dress candles when your intentions are to step out of the ordinary world and seek answers or guidance from your outermost self/selves, and get onto other planes.

You can see the sizes relative to each other in the last photo. We generally recommend getting smaller sizes and keeping oils around for a shorter period of time before refreshing them, but if you're going for a bigger size, keep them in a cool, dry spot and not in direct sunlight, and please - not in a car. No. Very naughty.

Our scent oils have some natural antimicrobial from the essential oils in them, but we also add an additional natural preservative - usually less than a drop per batch - just to add a little more protection from bad little microbes. If you prefer no additional preservative, just ask! We use rosemary antioxidant CO2 extract but as always, we recommend that you refresh your body oils regularly to keep your skin healthy.
