Hecate, Goddess of the Waning Moon

The Greek goddess Hecate reminds us of the importance of change, helping us to release the past, especially those things that are hindering our growth, and to accept change and transitions. She sometimes asks us to let go of what is familiar, safe, and secure and to travel to the scary places of the soul. It is best to work with Hecate during the Waning Moon.

Sandalwood Information:

The Essential Oil of Sandalwood is extracted through steam distillation of pieces of wood from matured Sandal trees which are 40-80 years old. The older the tree, the more oil content and richer the aroma. As far as the quality is concerned, the Indian Sandal (botanical name Santalum Album) is considered the best. There are several other varieties available on the market today, two of which are: the Hawaiian Sandal (Santalum Ellipticum), which is priced as that of high quality Santalum album, and the Australian Sandal (Santalum Spicatum) which is used more commercially, since it is more cost-effective.

The main constituents of Essential Oil of Sandal are Beta Santalol, Santyl Acetate and Santalenes.

Sandal Oil and paste of Sandal is used in medicines, skin and beauty treatments, and numerous industrial products including mouth fresheners, edibles, incense sticks, room fresheners, deodorants, perfumes, soaps, lotions, creams, and many more.

Anti-inflammatory: an agent that prevents or counteracts inflammation.
Antiseptic: a substance that inhibits the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.

SAMHAIN (Halloween)

As October comes close, once again, Halloween is almost upon us. It is time to share a little history of Halloween with you.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”).
The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

http://www.halloweenhistory.org/

The word ‘Sabbat’ comes from the French word s’ebattre, which means to rejoice. The ‘Sabbat’s’ are days for joyous celebration of life and nature. ‘Sabbat’s’ are determined by nature; the Earth and Sun and the natural energy created by their relationships to each other. These days were important to our ancestors, who used them to help determine when to plant and when to harvest.

Sabbat Oil Recipe
Blend together:
1/8 cup of Olive Oil for your Carrier Oil
7 drops Frankincense Essential or Fragrance Oil
2 drops Lemon Essential or Fragrance Oil
2 drops Myrrh Essential or Fragrance Oil
2 drops Orange Essential or Fragrance Oil
2 drops Sandalwood Essential or Fragrance Oil
Swirl to mix before Essential or Fragrance Oil

Wear as a body perfume to any Sabbat celebrations.

A Little History of Samhain (Halloween)

The history and origin of our modern Halloween takes in many festivals and celebrations from other times and cultures. One of these is the Roman festival Feralia.
Feralia was a Roman feast that took place on February 21st. Although that’s significantly later than Halloween it’s still a winter festival and a likely contender as one of the forerunners of Halloween.
Feralia was a one day feast that took place at the end of the longer Parentalia. Parentalia ran from February 13th to 21st and was a general feast to honor the dead. For most of the Parentalia the celebration was a positive one, honoring ancestors and family members. However on the final day things took a darker turn.
At midnight on the day of Feralia the heads of the Roman families would address their less pleasant ancestors and evil spirits. The Feralia rituals were intended to control these malevolent entities and force them to return to the spirit world for another year. Failure to properly observe the rites of Feralia could lead to the spirits remaining on the earth where they would appear as ghosts and bring misfortune throughout the coming year.
Once this “exorcism” had been completed the Romans could enjoy the happy family feast of Caristia the next day, February 22nd. The similarity between Feralia-Caristia and Halloween-All Saints’ Day is striking.

More on the History of Samhain/Halloween

All Hallows’ Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It initiates the triduum of Hallowmas, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.

According to many scholars, All Hallows’ Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain. Other academics maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.

All Saints Day

All Saints Day is when the Catholic Church and some Protestant churches commemorate every saint, known and unknown. The eve of All Saints is known as All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. All Saints Day falls on November 1st.
The vigil of the Feast (the eve) has grown up in the English speaking countries as a festival in itself, All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. While some Christians refuse to observe the holiday, considering it to be “pagan,” as far as the Church is concerned, the date is simply the eve of the feast of All Saints. Many customs of Halloween reflect the Christian belief that on the feast’s vigils we mock evil, because as Christians, it has no real power over us. David Morrison explains the proper relationship between Christians and Halloween. Various customs have developed related to Halloween. In the Middle Ages, poor people in the community begged for “soul cakes,” and upon receiving these doughnuts, they would agree to pray for departed souls. This is the root of our modern day “trick-or-treat.” The custom of masks and costumes developed to mock evil and perhaps confuse the evil spirits by dressing as one of their own. Some Christians visit cemeteries on Halloween to commemorate departed relatives and friends, with picnics and the last flowers of the year. The day after All Saints day is called All Soul’s Day, a day to remember and offer prayers up on behalf of all of the faithful departed. In many cultures it seems the two days share many customs.
