Dream oil.
This oil was created as an aid to prophetic dreaming.
It is founded on five herbs important to dream work and divination:
mugwort,
chamomile,
clary sage,
hops, and
yarrow.
A number of them are ruled by Moon, the celestial force most connected to dreaming.
Mugwort (Moon) has a long history as a divinatory aid, especially for prophetic dreaming.
Clary sage (Moon) is likewise implicated in dreaming, said to encourage especially vivid dreams, and its warm scent also soothes anxiety, thus opening the way to the astral. Hops is traditionally used to promote sleep and to give a feeling of warm expansiveness that is typical for a Sun herb and helpful for relaxing into the dream world.
Chamomile is likewise calming and soothing, but is ruled by Moon and so balances out the hops; it is also an herbal remedy for preventing nightmares, thus ensuring that the dreams that occur will not be frightening ones.
And finally, yarrow (Venus) has historically been implicated in divination - the I Ching was originally cast with yarrow stalks, for example.
This magic oil gets its blue color naturally from the essential oils of yarrow and chamomile. These herbs are all combined into Moon-ruled sweet almond oil. The scent of this oil has reminded dream seekers of the deep woods.
