The following is a list of oils and incense commonly used in magick, along with their accepted magickal attributes.
Amber- love, comfort, happiness, and healing.
Ambergris- psychic powers, dreams, aphrodisiac. (This is a product of sperm
whales, and was used widely for magick 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...
