My fascination with scents and aromas led me to study aromatherapy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a diligent learner, I quickly became acquainted with the volatile pure essences. As I continued to experiment with both single and blended essences, I observed that the fragrances I used had a noticeable impact on my overall mood, for instance, a single essence or a blend of essential oils can change, trigger or enhance various emotions and sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDefinition: I use the word essence as a reference to the sentient consciousness of essential oils.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I learned and experimented more, I realized that I wasn't just dealing with plant chemistry and molecules, but the pure essence of the essential oil I was studying. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears of working as an aromatherapist practitioner taught me that taking a meditative and ritualistic approach while handling essential oils can elevate my blending skills to a higher level. My experiments with different essential oil blends led me to the understanding that when mixing\/blending certain essences together, something unique and magical can happen. It is not just that our mood is changing, but there is a shift in our consciousness and with the right atmosphere, a meditative kind of ritual - a bath in our case, we can enter through the doors of perception and experience altered states of mind, albeit subtle ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of my initiation into AMOOKOS, an East-West Kaula Mystery School, I dedicated a big chunk of my studies to learning about the Kala sequence. Kala, meaning part, perhaps \"lunar perfume or flower\". Each Kala corresponds to a different phase of the moon, and a different body part. It didn't take long for the concept of 'Lunar Perfume' to evolve to a whole new way of working with the Kala sequence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second part of the book, I deal with the Eight Witches Sabbaths of the Ritual Year and how they resonate with the Eight Magics and the corresponding colours and scented essences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandrake of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914153242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Diti J.
