Yule Essential Oil
The first thing you want to do is make the concentrated Yule oil. The Yule oil is perfect for your holiday rituals or anything else that you want to use it for to add a bit of extra magickal energy this time of year. The version that I’m giving you is a bit strong so you will want to use it with care. If you want you can dilute it by decreasing the amount of oil that you are using or increasing the carrier oil at the end until you hit the desired strength that you would like. For the pine cones, we will dilute the Yule Oil to make it easier to use it for anointing candles for rituals and anything else you may want it for. You can also add some to a spray bottle with water to use it as a spray like we will do for the pine cones.
Combine the following oils into a suitable container. I personally love dark glass if you can find it. It helps to extend the life of the oil and also gives it a bit of extra energetic protection as well. If you wish to just make one pine cone you can divide this oil by 10 to give you an amount that is closer to what you want. The recipe that I’m giving you will give you enough to make about a dozen pine cones. They are amazing to tuck into your tree if you have one or to use around the house during Yule.
– 20 drops cinnamon oil
– 20 drops clove oil
– 10 drops mandarin oil
– 10 drops pine oil
– 20 drops frankincense oil
– 20 drops myrrh oil
Once your oil is ready mix a bit of it with water in a small spray bottle. You don’t need to fill the spray bottle. Just about 1/3 of the way, dependent upon how many you are making. You can create the mixture to the strength that you want. We all have different preferences and this is definitely something that you can make the way you wish and you should!
Dust off the pine cone and do your best to make sure it is free of any debris.
Spray it with the water and essential oil mix. Be generous with the spray but do not soak the pine cone.
Set it into a plastic bag that seals.
Let it stay in that bag for 24 to 48 hours.
Once it is set you can decorate it if you wish with sequins, ribbons, glitter, or anything else to make it festive. You can also use fake snow or paint on them. Another idea is to string them as a garland. They are wonderful to hang around the house. There are so many different ways to use these. Have fun and get creative!
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
