Product Offerings - Oils, Part 1

I'm still tweaking the write ups, but I've managed to get quite a few of the Egyptian Traditional Oils up on the site. Ruth & Jay's comments have been included in those write ups, if anyone was interested. I've limited this first batch to those I purchased for my own use, though I will be adding additional products in the coming weeks. Pardon the horrid graphics, I'm still waiting on the importer's photography.

Oils included are:
Red Amber
Musk
Jasmine
Attar of Roses
Amber Kashmir
Sandalwood
Lotus
7 Chakras Oil (the above blended together)
Thoth
Sekmet
Hathor

As far as my own blended oils go, I've gotten three of them up and need to add distinctive photography, as well. I'm holding off on offering mine, as I still need to buy product bottles and allow the oils to finish seeping another month or so. I've decided to delay the Hyssop Oil, because while I realize its "traditional" via the grimoires in my possession to use mineral oil, its taking much longer to set up than the others in olive oil. To date, I've added:

Three (aka Three Kings, Three Wise Men, etc.) oil
Abramelin - Calamus Oil
Abramelin - Galangal Oil

Tonight I'm starting a batch of Fire of Azrael Oil (a'la Dion Fortune's novels), should be wonderful!

Amber Kashmir, Thoth, Sekmet and Hathor sound interesting *wishes she didn't live so far away and that she had money and that her mom didn't have scent allergies*

I've really got to leave some comments about your incense blends. Don't know why I'm such a schmuck about keeping up with stuff. The Brighid incense really was a big hit at the gathering.

I didn't notice our "comments" anywhere. Where are they hiding?

They were scattered in among the write ups. Hmn. Apparently too subtle-y.
