| Name | Description |
| Amber | love, comfort, happiness, and healing. (Amber oil is created from lesser quality amber, which is fossilized pine resin millions of years old...true amber oil is extremely rare...most amber oil is formulated from ambergris) |
| Ambergris | psychic powers, dreams, aphrodisiac. (This is a product of sperm whales, and was used widely for magic in the past...it is not very common presently, due to increased ecological considerations -- whales are an endangered species, and fortunately society no longer approves of the killing of animals for products such as oil) Most of the ambergris oil on the market today is artificial. For a close substitute, mix cypress oil with a few drops of Patchouli oil... |
