Judgement

Judgment #20- Ruled by Pluto- Fire Element

Judgment within the tarot relates to rebirth and hearing "the Call".  Often on The Judgment card you will see the Archangel Gabriel blowing her horn.  This is in reference to hearing the Call, your life purpose, or leading you in a new direction.  There is rebirth and change as well as choice and decision to be made.  Pluto is the planet of death, resurrection, letting go, forgiveness and unavoidable change.  Pluto allows us to see that although we have no power over death, we can let go gracefully of those things that need to die in order to create new beginnings.

Carrier Oils

Since we are working with Judgment and fire, I would use oils such as Borage, Camellia, Flax, Grapeseed, Rose Hip, Sunflower.

Directions to create a Pluto Oil.

Choose 2 to 6 herbs to use in your potion, one essential oil and one stone.  Usually 1 tablespoon of each herb will work depending on how many herbs you have.  Combine all ingredients into a jar and cover with the carrier oil of your choice.  Let sit for 2 to 3 weeks shaking and mixing often.  Strain and pour into a bottle of your choice.  You can dress candles with your blend or place on magical tools as well as place upon your skin.  Be sure to put your intention into the blend.  Always check precautions on essential oils.
