Spring and Summer Oil

The inspiration for this oil came to me one very warm spring day. Anoint yourself and candles with it during Ostara, Beltane or Midsummer rituals - it's beautiful and connects you to your natural surroundings if you use blossoms from your own area. Make the oil at the beginning of spring. Go for a walk somewhere where there are flowering fruit trees. Collect blossoms from as many kinds of fruit tree as possible, preferably scented ones (apple, cherry, peach and apricot, etc). Fill a small bottle with the blossoms and cover with a light carrier oil such as almond. Leave in the sun until the oil has become impregnated with blossom scent, strain, but add one fresh spring blossom to the bottle.
