Cernunnos Incense

Your Ad Here

For use in any invocation of Cernunnos, or spell designed to arouse lust.
A few drops patchouli essence or patchouli leaves finely powdered
1 part good-quality fine-grain church incense
1 part bay leaves finely reduced
1 part Cyprus wood or pine needles finely reduced
1 part wormwood herb
1 part vervain herb
Moisten with a few drops of:
Oil of cloves
Gum turpentine (pine oil)
Olive oil
Honey
The operator's blood
Red wine
Finally, a drop of civet or musk essence if you can get hold of them. If not, never mind.
As with all your other incenses, let this mixture steep overnight, adding more solid ingredients if
necessary to bring it to the requisite dry consistency. It should be prepared on a Thursday at the usual
time, with the moon waxing. It is very strong, and you should use it sparingly.
Cernunnos Perfume
To be worn during any operation or adventure involving lust and seduction. There are several varieties
of this perfume extant, the commonest one consisting of this formula :
5 parts musk - (synthetic essence will do)
5 parts civet - "
1 part ambergris - "
1 part patchouli or cassia - "
The first three of these ingredients are very expensive, however, so here is a very good alternative
recipe, which can also be highly potent used sparingly:
1/3 patchouli oil
1/3 Cedarwood oil
1/3 pine oil (good-quality gum turpentine)
1 drop vanilla
1 drop jasmine oil or ilang-ilang
1 drop oil of cloves
1 drop essence of rose
1 drop geranium oil
This perfume should be mixed with pure alcohol should you wish to compose a toilet water or
cologne as opposed to a heavy perfume. Should this recipe be too difficult for you to make, patchouli
oil by itself will do.
A few drops of Cernunnos can be mixed with your Sabbat oil to add extra impact. The actual
composition of that oil I shall reserve for Chapter 7.
As in the composition of the Love Incense, so also here; should you wish to experiment with new
essences and perfumes, go ahead. However, for matters of lust, as opposed to romantic love, I would
advise you to stick to the more bitter and piney perfumes. Leave the flowery essences to Habondia
and her works of romance.
