The pendulum got way eclectic and picked galbanum and saffron for my new moon bath.
4/18
Van Cleef & Arpels - Un Air de First
"The composition is floral and built of aldehydes and essences of galbanum in top notes, Egyptian jasmine absolute and Bulgarian rose in a heart, with base notes of vetiver and cotton essences."
One of my absolute favorites! This one practically sparkles, I LOVE the fizzy/shimmery way VC&A does aldehydes. It is criminal that this one is discontinued.
TIL: according to Rashi, galbanum is included in the Biblical incense recipe to show that even difficult and unpleasant people are included in the Jewish community.
As a galbanum lover, I feel so called out right now.
Snake Safety Spells
The aroma of galbanum allegedly repels snakes. Burn it as an incense or warm the essential oil in am aroma burner. You may also add it to your perfume
The aroma of burning juniper wood and leaves also allegedly repels serpents
Make an infusion of black snake root (black cohosh) and add it to you bathwater, so that your aroma allegedly repels snakes. (Note: Black snake root is not safe for use by pregnant women.)
Serpentine is named for its affiliation with snakes. Cary it as a charm for safety from them. (this derives from Italian snake-charming traditions. Serpentine may also be used to cement the relationship: it provides safety without repelling.)
Agates are carried as talismans of safety from both snakes and scorpions. Although plain agate is allegedly effective, the talisman is more potent if engraved with either the image of a snake or of a person, preferably you or at least someone resembling you, riding upon a snake
