the oud study

I saved a little of the mix back so I could make a perfume oil for us for the new year. We will see about it. Oud is a funny thing. I feel like oud craves rose and jasmine and goes best with a little more spice like cinnamon so it can utilize its fiery potential. I feel like oud is about bringing our thoughts towards the center. Relying on our wisdom and opening our minds to the furure of us.



Some people can't handle oud. I am talking too much about it too but these last few weeks with him have been just what I needed. I forget how awesome I am sometimes. Do you? Forget? How awesome you are?

Should I call these notes, The Oud Study and the Iaw Of Attraction!


I was just reading in some science journal about a certain solar system that is not that far from us having evolved over perhaps 11 billion years, our solar system is about 5.7 billion years old. There may be evolved life there and yet, I do not see them coming here to earth..
Maybe it is really hard for all life to evolve past their gods and they all kill each other before they can get anywhere out of there..or..their brains keep evolving and they are smart enough to work things out. Perhaps...
They have evolved enough to take care of their own rock in space so that all their resources are renewable and everyone is living well..maybe we are not meant to travel between each other's planets. Our robots will, I suppose,  but I do not see us doing that any time soon. I mean who wants to leave like, forever without their kin? It is like they died, gone they are.

Oud is about the past in so many ways back that it takes you to the future.

Don't ask me about the future, I am working on now. Oud, so freeking ancient, citrus, tang, moss, dirt..minerals, spiky and mellow at the same time.
What does one do..wear it alone?
No
you must secretly add this and that and then wait and then add more this and that..roll the heavenly scent through your nostrils and wait some more..

Royal Oud
coming soon:)



it is four in the morning

It is rare that I wake up this early..even for me that is just not right but it is so cold out there I can't sleep! What is it, a polar vortex? Last week it was in the 50's!
Ha ha ha
It is all frozen too. Like when everything just goes still. The bunnies are under a spot by the garage and I hope they are warm is all. I don't care if they eat my plants..they eat mostly clover which I put for them every year in a nice little spot. They do not eat all the plants in my garden. They love clover but will leave the calendulas alone
I worry about animals in winter.

This is a good time to engage in a little study time with what I want next in a scent..
The Old Whore is spot on..she's  a freeking master..
My latest Fougere blend is beautiful with the tonka and  the exquisite developments with lavender clary sage and patchouli..and a touch violet leaf..I can only say that who ever wears this, must smell so good..so freeking good..warm, smokey, a little edgy..yum

Now, I want to be a little more gourmand for this month..I say gourmand because that word is so cool to say..gourmand..:)

Yesterday, I took the afternoon off to meditate and ponder on my plan. I want more tonka so of course patchouli..I will add the following oils to make this a smooth sweet winter brew for me and you if you want to.
Right then, I will add vanilla, sandalwood as my base notes and at the top, neroli and bergamot.
the bergamot does what it does because its acidity attracts patchouli and they evolve together. It is beautiful and very me.

Forgotten Memory
A leather blend Russian style..
Now for leather which also must happen..I will set this blend aside and wait a couple of weeks.
I will then take birch and dissolve that in vanilla co2 along with a heathy dollop labdanum and 3 drops of my oud dragon's blood blend. I will then mix this together with my classy brew above followed by one drop clove and one drop nutmeg and wait. It is good right then and there..however,  in a few weeks, the transformation will be astounding! It's animalistic notes melting in to a fine personal perfume. 

That is  the least I hope for. It is so exciting about oils. How they reach us and how we respond to them. I know that I am always just besotted by their awesome life changing powers.
It is true.
We invoke what we want to invoke..our mind is so strong and we can harness any vibe we want to.

why am I picking on sagittarius?

I am not. It is Saturn, Father Time and all that. Saturn taking on forces beyond what you dreamed possible and saturn winning..that is you my sweetie!
You have to leave you past benind though. You have to move forward. You have to admit that you may have  been wrong and it still won't be enough for some. they die or walk away. They are done..I mean, you have to admit, you have had to face your own enemies in your own head. maybe face that and know they are not real. maybe face the fact that you already awesome and you do not have to proclaim it..people that have always loved you will and the rest will fade away and you will see that they were never your friend and never will be. They can't..

When you expect accolades from the wrong people, you will see..they love you today and tomorrow, you are set free..it is never enough for them you see..

you are a wild horse in many ways and yet you choose to be harnessed for the sake of a higher cause..
time tics and causes change..
time still ticks and your abilities evolve always more keen and clear
never in the mind's shadow...
be free of burdens is the key


check you teeth and you legs and your knees
cut off your hair in three years it will be better and healthier
cut it!

listen more
invoke your powers that be
your art, so serene
your mind so poised
you listen and speak wisely

check you inner hearts mind

What are you working for?
What are your motives?
Which things do you really love and are devoted to?
Does life serve you and your plan?





notes on leather and saturn in sagittarius

a fragrant memory
leather

the idea of a warm hunk man walking in to our well lit by a wood fire warmed  hut, sounds really good right about now.
He would be wearing boots and thick wool trousers almost too tight for his big strong legs.;)
Right about then, we would come close and reach in to his pockets for treats. there are always treats. he knows what I like.
He smells of dirt and moss and warm man..hints of tobacco and animal mixed in..he is spicy like cloves and rich musk animal labdanum and jasmin maybe galbanum and birch..


leather should have a touch tobacco and patchouli
and violet and tonka and oakmoss and myrtle
that is how I would think of it
had I a memory
conjured or no..a feeling
invoked by my fantasy of how a  man scent goes on like a memory on a warm real man...


Oud and more


More oud than I could handle. maybe you too?  Nahh!
I put a whole bunch in this soap above. A whole bunch of frankincense too.  It is  peppery, rich, animal, fermentation... and I hope that you can handle it. It made me so high, I went to work like I didn't care about pretty much anyone. And in the best way I couldn't care...detachment and duty.
I have  things to do which I do quietly and I love everyone and will give them a chance until they start to drain my cup and then I must take time to get my orbit down right before I go fixing anyone Else's..
Am I a mystic? Only that I am super smart and continue to learn reality.
Oud brings me focus and attention to the big picture and how I might look at it.


Oud..I hope you like it..it is so heavy man! The dragon, is hiding, biding his time, taking in a breath from rose and patchouli and a drop tobacco. taking a breath from jasmine co2 and myrrh..wrapping himself in mysterious forces which bind and shatter illusions.
Confident and rare forces which make a stable platform for their future spinning.
Oud, making each thought count and not afraid to say it.
Oud is about no fear and acceptance..
Sagittarius, I suggest you get one. you are about to practice the art of change and transformation and finally, I hope babe, question your own mythology and perhaps change  your molds of how things should be and how things are. Have you forgotten yourself in all your doing for others?
What ever your deep changes may bring, I feel like oud brings strength..his practice during many years has been to quietly create a barrier of protection from parasites and zombies..microscopic zombies, but yes, feeders of his goodness..his fight is just as bitter sweet..animal, sex, balance and gracious decay..offering a remnant of something rare. Immune balance and protection are just a couple of ideas I wish  to invoke.



One of my very fine soapies asked if I would make a Pluto Potion spray. Not everyone wants frankincense on them all day!
I know, I know, it is inconceivable but true..:)

There is one more spray,(not shown)) and I will say, it might be my all around  go to..it is not shown here because I ran out of good printing paper for  labels.
I had fallen in love with a nice little soap I made last month (she loves fun)..with the vetiver and the geranium rose and the patchouli and oakmoss..it is so nice, the scent combo..I add a little petitgrain too..just a touch..


I love you..have a good one today and everyday.

we'll meet again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFHUSg8Mw1E

I never have watched The Colbert Report but I watched the finale..I loved this!

neil de grass tyson

Did you see? He said some fun tid bits on twitter about Christmas and people got super mad and trolled him.

As if they need to defend god! See, even if it is the truth, humans are geared towards anger over the facts. Nope, Santa was so too Christian, he was! Oye! Just be nice! Why the name calling? What are you a 12 year old girl?
Wait, Isac Newton was born on the 25th!
Really! Jesus was not actually born during snow times..think King James and you will get a new picture of Jesus..The Romans killed him and for years killed his followers and then when they became his followers they killed those who wouldn't stop practicing  their yearly rituals, so they changed things and made it easy for everyone..later they blamed it on the Jews..Judas took money to turn Jesus in..maybe he did...and if James was a Canaanite (of course he was)) then he was also a Jew..

I wonder now why we have to humor people's utter dependence on this very ancient form of sun worship to what it has become today? And it seems that the most violent ideas on religion are here in the US and The Middle East..but these ideas are everywhere. Look at  the violence through the years in Ireland?
Guns pointed at his head..
"Catholic or Protestant?"
"atheist, sir"
"Catholic atheist or Protestant atheist?"
Yes, it actually happened to a journalsit..

hummm
It made me wonder about things and why we are so ready to burn someone for having some fun? Is it because the air of fear is so strong we are willing to make new words like "blasphemy"?
They made that word about 600 years ago so they could use it against people who would not follow Rome which was the Pope..that is modern history...

About 5 thousand years ago this group of people we Sume call The Sumerians today, did not call themselves Sumerians, they would say they are from Uruk, or one of other  three main cities in that place by the big river which would flood every year and give life... there..out of that came the Egyptians and after 7 dynasties failed but made good use of slavery to build big monuments for themselves, they melted away in to I do not know what.
About 2 thousand years before Jesus, Abram came around..he was part of a moon worship cult in that region and he and Sar were renamed Abraham and Sarah ( his half sister by his father). He changed his name to Abraham after he made a choice to only worship one god and adding the new vibrational sound to his name..so you have the word..in the beginning was the word..Aum
next Ham
Not that  I am a scholar in Canaanite history...Seems to me that matras in Sanskrit do just that..use the vibrational sounds to change the brain's neurotransmitters..


Why can't we stand the truth about things, why, is my question? We should be able to question everything as a citizen of earth, right?
Apparently not..because someone is gonna cut your head off for Jesus and Christmas..or if you wrapped your hair or not..
Like I asked before, why?
He(Jesus) taught compassion and forgiveness and they would kill him again, I think. He must have had some powers of telepathy and peace. I have met gurus that made me feel funny just standing next to them..why else would  we seek so vehemently to become enlightened? We want grace and peace and safety. We want to have a  little safety in preparedness of the great unknown..The next moment is unknown..it is the words that fill us, fill our mind, flooding it sometimes with chemicals that make us smile, laugh hard or cry our guts out..


En Light Tend

Good word there..
Tend to  your own light, use good words, release your burdens and your true test is to not fight people..fight with  god..fight the goddess and fight yourself and win.

"I shall have no fear because I do the right thing always.."
"I will not allow trolls to ruin my day"
"I shall always speak  with my heart's mind"
"I am grace and poise"

when the moon

this is why I love mystic so much! She makes my heart race when she says things!

mystic medusa




Sagittarius, Sag rising and Gemini types will certainly learn and learn more in the next 4 years..let's say four, I say it is a little less but let's say four.

Capricorn is also in focus because Saturn rules Capricorn and also since Pluto is in Capricorn still squaring Uranus a couple more times until 2016. we have a whole bunch of planetary changes coming..

Aries, stay put, be kind and do not get so mad that you cut every one's head off and then you cry because they do not love you enough and then you give them candy and they do..
ha!!!

I love you enough with out the candy and when you are burning rage..yes, even then!
Now, you must simmer down and be quiet. Be silent..just for now, you will grow in this way..


Mystic Medusa has ideas about Sagittarius, and I can add in my experience with all this Saturn stuff..
(Saturn in Sag in the 12 house with Pluto there now for years and years)))

Yes, it gets lonely, I suppose. When you feel like outside the fray, the riga maroe, the bruha ha ha..
you hear only what you want to hear and ignore the loud rubble. Beisdes, all this stuff really just means you have to work harder because you know more and when you know more it hurts more and you make healthier choises next time.

Somber, service, skin and hair, for all of these things, saturn is there...cut that hair, sleek, clean flair..words that bind, meanings which one cannot hide..sacrifices of the deepest heart..take some fiber babies, so you do not fart...:)

lol

Gemini, you are awesomer and awesomer! Wow, please do not let your bitterness get the best of you. It does nothing good.


No, this is not me being mystical. I do notice that Aquarius are starting to get wise about how many bridges they may have burned..more like dug out a chasm and never filled it, just walked away because you seem to focus/need freedom and independence and your money..making good life friendships may be just the thing to get you through some really good life growing experiences now and for the next three years.
Some, you go back to and hug and they will aways love you, like me, I will always love you, just not the same way as before.
**an Aquarius said to me..after he hurt my feeling so bad, I almost cried..lol,  I didn't.
"hey, you remember that awesome cream you gave me as a gift with sandalwood and neroli,
I want one again, can I pay you?"
"I gave you one of those? You must be special..you can't afford that, babe..sorry"
"why, I will pay you!" ))
"babe, you won't. it is $50.00.
"oh, no, that is too much"

Money is weird, yo..some people do not understand (generosity))about how things go because they have fear of poverty and giving is too much for them.


Scorpio, now? She will give you the shirt off of her back!

I love you enough and as we rush around the mountain, we'll pull back on the reins and control our vibrant life forces  to go where we want not where the road may lead as each road is fed by our thoughts and how we may  mold the way..I have planted seeds along mine..
I hope that you have too!

good day my lovies

I hope you are having a nice morning. I am the only one awake at the moment and kitty is having a blast playing with her new toys.
I gave them to her and told her to enjoy them. she knew they were for her.
The first thing she went for was the little cat nip toy..ha!
I know I would!
We'll go to my mom's and say, "merry christmas"..that is how some people like it. Santa is Jesus and Jesus is Santa and even though we took him from some northern myths, he is now Christian all day and that is it!
Who wants to fight them?
I just say it.
Happy holidays..is nice but some are like, "oh, I am glad you didn't say, "happy holidays"!
"I know, how you like it", "Merry Christmas, Tom",  I told a guy who likes me and we can never go on a date because he thinks evolution and reincarnation is the same thing..lol
ha ha ha
Look, I do not have time to debate on silly things..let us talk about something real I can chew on and I am there!
I want to chew on ideas and and melt some more dragon's blood!



I've  decided I need more oud for this blend I am working on. It'll be here tomorrow. This is the reason I have not put photos up yet. I swear man, I am craving something I cannot yet put my finger on what it is.
I know it is oud and frankincense and jasmine.
When I get like this, it is usually worth the 200 dollars I spend on one 10 bar soap block..that is why the 12.99 price, babies. maybe someone wants it that much, like me..I want this blend. So far, let me tell you, it is unique and very very good. There will be an oil too. There is enough for both a soap and an anointing red oil..oh, yea!

Why dragon's blood now?
Well I have been requested by quite a few to bring it back.
It can only be a sometimes potion blend...right now it is runny red and juicy thick.


I am blown out of soap and next year promises to be a chill year where I will learn more about managing my business on etsy. It is like when you get more and more people looking and buying, you must be ready for anything..
Have a wonderful restful day!

festive days!!!


I have been making wicks with twine. They burn so much longer and perfectly hold the hot wax in place.

I made candles for three weeks. It is like making pancakes. The first ones are not that great..they taste good but when you get your timing right, you get perfect pancakes.
The same goes for bees wax. If you pour too hot, you get cracks which you can fill in later, when you get a perfect pour and perfect wick placement, you have an elegant candle. 



I like votives. They burn for about three hours and smell so nice in winter. they do!

There are still some store bought wicks in some of these but mostly they are home made.

New Moon ideas coming up..also more views on the sheep.

Good Tidings From Michigan








Hello, it's has been a while. I have been busy making soap and reading up on some important stuff and listening to a course on particle physics..my day is so gratifying I do not have time for dramas and  emotional indulgences..instead I focus on soap and how I can make it better.

Never mind the salt soap rocks..man, if you expect pretty soap in those, you must freak out when you open a new bar. they are salty for a reason not just looks.  The cuts are rough! I have to add a whole lot if I am to satisfy its functionality..that is salt soap this (above) is clove! 

Clove is so nice for us in winter. It has a slight pain relieving effect because of its molecular structure..and fatty acid composition. I mixed it here with a few drops ylang ylang extra and what rose I had in the shop. I had wee  drops of all kinds. It is beautiful and one of my best soaps ever.

The soap base is awesome here too. Dr Bronners organic cold pressed whole coconut oil and organic cold pressed olive oil. 
What could be better in a soap bar than shea butter? Well, if you ask me everything else..but we must maintain some control over our spending..so I simply added shea butter here..lots of shea..it smells heavenly and I only have three left because the locals are getting seduced by good fats and  real botanical ingredients.

(my store has a sale on Bronner's..otherwise I get coconut oil at Costco..I love Bronners coconut oi!     It smells rich and sweet, like you!))

I want to thank my wonderful customers everywhere, you allow me the opportunity to serve you beautiful skin care and soap and I will spend all that money on you..it is what it is for!

Happy Happy New Year! Saturn in Sagittarius, Pluto in Capricorn making everyone get real and next, The Year of The Sheep..let the horse go, he needs some freedom to roam and say what he wants to say...Sheep..you'll get one or two who can speak for the whole group..
Lets us make a cosmic group where we care for each other and get rid of police state governments and religious tyranny because all people know the idea that you make your  life good or bad based on each thought and action.....lets us all rejoice in the heavens because they a bigger and we are smaller than we even knew..lets us all love the earth and make good decisions based on common health and well being for all citizens..they pay taxes and they should marry and do what ever makes their life healthy and wise..

I love you 
thank you
I am sorry about my miss ships
I will always fix things 
and
I am not sorry for speaking my mind, someone has to say the obvious..it is my Sagittarius rising!
he he 
:)

and they say astrology doesn't work

and homeopathy is bunk..but when Mystic Medusa says Saturn is going to be in Sagittarius, I listen.
She is always right, so I think there is something to this stuff, this collective thought which makes our world do things.
I am a pagan..I believe we are all connected by a web of thinking material..like a sponge thing that keeps feeding certain areas in space..holding everything together  and pulling it apart at the same time..I am a pagan..
Not because I want to do blood rituals and burn sage all the time. I am that because I want to feel the vibrations of the our little dot in space and make something of it. Thinking of it. Looking at it and allowing more and  more information, more awareness to fill me.
I can observe based on myth and mathematical principles some sort of pattern and reaction by us humans to this pattern.

I am telling you this because you all effected by it  too. We all are, some forget to pay attention and some pay too much..that is why they get so upset and kill a bunch of kids!
Where is the balance and why does Uranus have to be such a mercurial dick in disguise?
lol

Everything broke last week..my washing machine after I fixed the dryer, my printer is out of ink (just happened), and my dad fell and broke his head..
He is said to be fine so that is why I am telling you..not because  want sympathy. I do not like hospitals and yet I am amazed at the science based on trial and error..everything is a recipe..follow it with out panic and everything turns out fine..follow it with yelling and panic and you basically suck and people don't want to hang with you. I got lost and went in the wrong guys room and he had all these tubes in his mouth and I kind of freaked out inside about my dad never looking that old and broken before with tubes in his mouth and stuff..as I got closer I realized it was another much older man..
the relief..I found my dad kind of propped up, asking what happened..oye! I laughed..it was funny.

It made me a little behind what with the driving and the emotional drain..and family is not always the best company..except me..I am loved by all.
Funny thing about families..it is always due to money and paying the piper. Humans are greedy..
our daily bread and all that..

we forget that we were not made for wealth, wealth was made for us..I want us all to be wealthy and how nice it is to spend all the money and not care..there is always more.

time to make some soap and clean up after that..



"hello" ;))
