Sleep Oil?

Ok so Sleep Prayer Oil (yes from sleep token)??

-olive oil for the vibes, I usually use grape seed as a carrier, but the vibes of olive oil are what I’m feeling for this.

-Pachouli (sleep aid, and also VERY sensual)

-Mugwort (for astral/dream work)

-Lemon Balm (love, dreamwork, healing)

-Lavender (sleep aid, but intense dreams)

-rosemary (creativity)

-peppermint essential oil (money/prosperity)

-Grapefruit essential oil (mental clarity)

Ok, so here is my list, copy pasted from my notes app so that is why the formatting and wording is all weird lol, of all the herbs and oils I’d include in a sleep prayer oil, and all my reasonings.

But I freaking. Listen, I don’t believe sleep is a real god, but when I was like ‘what would I put in this’ my mind kept going back to rosemary, and I was like ‘why tho?’ And the first thing that popped up when I searched for herbs for creativity was rosemary and I just said ‘ok. Sleep wants that in there’.

I cant make this rn, cause… I am not uhhh ‘practicing’ (my practice is gathering knowledge until I can move out), but I want to 🤣. I wonder if I could get by with substituting lemon oil for lemon balm, cause I have access to essential oils, but not herbs and putting them jars lol. I could honestly say this was a blend for seizures and I wouldn’t even be completely lying….. I’d actually just have to buy the patchouli and mugwort 🤣🤣🤣…. I’m so tempted. I’ll let you know if I do it or not😂 or maybe I just leave out the mugwort and patchouli for right now? I feel like the others have everything covered, but the first two where more like the pa-pow of the oil, idk if this makes since? Like those are the main two and if I was making this for real, I would do only a little bit of the other ingredients, and a lot of the main two, but if I’m not including them I’d do more of the others…. Fuck it I’m gonna end up making this, oops. (But probably with grape seed oil, since this is an essential oil blend… I’ll be back with more notes I’m so sorry).

Edit: this just keeps getting longer longer sorry; went to gather the oils, realized we do indeed have patchouli! But not rosemary… thinking of substituting oregano for rosemary…. And maybe clary sage for mugwort?? Hmmm. Lots of thoughts. Same associations for both things as the list above… ok I have to be done now I’ll come back and tell you if it smells good in a different ask lmao.

Sorry for info dumping to you about a silly little oil, but I was having fun with it.

What would go in your version of it, if you don’t mind me asking👀 I know you said you where doing your own research on it, and I’m curious🥰.

i have sat on this for waaaayyyyy toooo long but university was absolutely kicking my ass for the last… month and a half? idk i was going through it for a hot minute 😅

but! finally getting to tuck into some research now that i’m done school for the term and have a quiet day at work. (this is gonna get hella long cuz i’m having a lot of fun researching and i’m gonna use this as a sounding board a bit as i read)

so! first thing i’m learning is that intention is a huge part of this (i knew the intention part already, part and parcel with working with tarot!)

i think given that sleep is introduced to us as some sort of deity, i would probably make a ritual anointing oil.

the carrier oil itself is another question. i think since sleep feels like a deity not easy to commune with (the intensity and allegory in the music makes me think that, if we were worshipping a true god, conversing with sleep takes a toll on the devotee). with this in mind i think grapeseed oil might make a decent base. it is a good choice for anything used to anoint the body (which i feel would be part of this ritual oils use, if we must dream to encounter sleep then anointing the body makes the most sense to me!) and it is ruled by the moon and water element- making it very fitting for sleep token! grapeseed oil is also useful for blends that intend to boost/strengthen mental abilities (it also helps with fertility magic and given the lyrical content at times- seems somewhat fitting) another useful aspect for a ritual for sleep. i do like the vibes of olive oil as well, and it’s a very versatile ingredient but i don’t think i’d like feeling it on my skin so grapeseed it is! (also my local magick shop has grapeseed oil so easy for me to obtain lol)

now the fun part- the essential oils!

(i’m realizing as i write this that i need to purchase a grimoire so i can start recording my research and recipes…)

so this part has taken me a lot longer to fiddle with, not only finding the right associations but also smells i enjoy, but i think I’ve got it!

- sandalwood (its grounding, promotes inner peace, aphrodisiac) [i went back and forth here between sandalwood and cedar, same associations but i prefer the scent of sandalwood]

- lavender (promotes sleep, reduces stress, pretty straightforward lol)

- patchouli (grounding, sharpens your wit, good for prayer work) [loooove the smell too, i’d do anything to naturally smell like patchouli lol, hippy association be damned]

- mugwort (astral projection, lucid/prophetic dreams, meditation)

- lemon balm (love, healing, astral projection, it also amplifies the effects of other herbs)

- clary sage (vivid dreams, divination)

i keep going back and forth on whether or not to add clove, it’s another aphrodisiac and also good for treating insomnia so i think it would fit? but i’m not 100% sure on it yet lol. my familiarity with essential oils and herbs is very minimal

but yeah! now to get the oils and mix. not sure exactly how the mix will come about, will need some trial and error with it i think! again, sorry this took me so long but here we are! finally i did it!

Hi, hello there. I know we have talked about spn in the past, so I must come to you and give you this cursed thought I just had:

Vessel and Dean have the same vibes. I don’t have any way to prove myself, but I feel like I’m right.

(Bisexual energy, very obsessive with the people he loves, a weird relationship with god and gods and angels ect. I don’t think people would like me making this comparison but since Dean is still the fictional character I love the most to the point I don’t even have words to describe it, i hope this is not taken as a bad way. I just keep it on the down low lmao).

Ok, have a good morning, I was in the middle of making my bed when I had this cursed thought and I must inform you, xoxo.

(Oh, also no baby dreams last night, which… is good for me lmao, I don’t actually want kids of my own tho I do like babies😂 but your comment made me go 🥹 irl so.)

OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE 😂

i am wheezing but also i’m never going to get this out of my head

i totally get it. the only difference is that i think vessel has slightly more emotional maturity than dean lmao but there is something there that matches the vibe

thank you for this i had a rather emotional start to my day and this just made it so much better 🥹

🎧🩵🩵🩵

my dearest fox

i had to shuffle a couple times because the first song that came up was porn star dancing and i can’t stop laughing lmao. i do not have fave lyrics from that it’s just a vibe.

so instead you get endlessly!

this bridge makes me weepy every time. like it’s such a beautiful declaration of love i think. like telling someone they’re yours and you’re not leaving them no matter what

Hihi Exie, idk if you like polyphia, but this guy makes me lose my shit, so I thought I’d share anyway, and he has nice hands + hand tats, AND the guitar is super pretty???, so.. Sorry no sleep token vids. Hopefully I come across a good one soon🤞🏻

TIM. MOTHER FUCKING. HENSON

god i love this man. i watched a video once where he broke down a ton of polyphia riffs and went over how he writes/plays and oh my god. fucking insane. also he has the most gorgeous signature guitars i can’t get over them

i haven’t actually listened to much polyphia, but i definitely need to just based on the guitar. and his tats! omg. i used to hate throat tats but within the last two years i’ve found some band dudes with some killer throat tats and now i’m constantly fighting the urge to get one myself lmao

‘free reign to explain as much as you want/info dump in my inbox’

Oh Exie. There is so much to ffvii, it’s one of those old jrpgs (it came out the year I was born/1997) that can take up to 100 hours to beat (sometimes longer really there’s so much you can do in the game that just has nothing to do with the plot haha). It’s so…. Crazy?? It’s also one of those stories that was meant to be experienced and not explained (like kingdom hearts).

The main plot is that the planet the game takes place on is dying, and corporate greed is the cause (cough cough). Starts off with the MC (his official name is Cloud Strife, but in the og you could name him whatever you wanted to), going on a mission with a group of eco terrorists, to bomb a reactor. (The reactors pump mako, which is like oil, but it’s literally the planets blood, on a spiritual level, and it’s also Magic). He joined the group cause his childhood friend is with them.

Cloud is ex-military, which the Company is now the government (Shinra Electric Power Company), and their military is called Soldier, they are humans who have had Mako injected into them, making them super human, with massive amounts of strength.

And then the game is divided into different segments in my opinion. There’s so much to it, aliens and science experiments, and monsters. It would take me so freaking long to try and explain it all.

And I didn’t even mention the main villain!! Shinra is a big threat, but there’s an even bigger one, his name is Sephiroth (he’s my little meow meow. Hes such a dick, but also like. In my opinion none of it is his fault UwU. Also, people think he’s way older than he is for some reason haha, he’s only like 25, and his story is so tragic oof.)

I don’t even know what else to talk about haha. There is so much more to this game (obviously, it’s 100 hours for a reason😅), and I didn’t even mention 1/4th the characters and yeah. I think I’ll end it here tho, cause this is already So Long. Sorry??😂😂

hahahaha what have i brought upon myself? just kidding but that actually sounds super interesting!

funnily enough i’ve heard the name sephiroth? i swear my sibling has to have played it because that’s the only way i think i would know it lol

but that story sounds super super cool! i’m personally not much of a gamer (I completed lego batman 2 with my sibling and liked kicking their ass in halo. but now i just occasionally play minecraft lol) but if i was i would definitely check out these games!

This tweet I know it’s a shit post, but… I would be down for this 😂 I already want Vessel to cover Something in the Orange. (Oh also, if you want to follow me on Twitter, my main is DawnDragon32 I just use it for sleep token stuff but I don’t use it very often haha).

OH MY GOD THAT ONE HAS HAD ME CACKLING ALL DAY

every time it pops up in my feed i start laughing again. i am very much anti-country, it just does not please my ears but vessel? hell yeah i’d get all yeehaw for him lmao

(also yes i will follow twitter! i think my user is erareese13 ?? something like that lol)

Hihi!!

About the Metal Hammer magazine, it seems to be a SUPER leek. Seems to be a later this month issue, OR December issue. It’s REALLY EXCITING. I think this one might be available in stores?? I can find older issues on Walmart but idk if it’s like. Second hand sellers, I’ll check next time I go if they have them there. Their Twitter links to the site magazinesdirect . com so I guess we can get it there/that’s their seller?

omg okay you’re amazing for digging! i’m way too useless with technology to ever find things out until they’re officially announced lmao.

but yeah i’m losing my mind over the fact that he sat down and did a legit interview. i cannot stop thinking about what that’s going to be like, how does he speak y’know? is he as poetic as a person as he is in his lyrics? i need to know! also does this have any larger implications for the direction of the band? the music? the anonymity? oh i’m just burning with questions and i am legit not going to rest until metal hammer announces and releases!

(gonna edit this to say i have been informed there is no interview but my point stands that i desperately want to know how he speaks. don’t even need to hear his voice, but i need to know the how lol)
