The High Priestess

The High Priestess #2- Ruled by The Moon- Water Element

The High Priestess asks you to trust your intuition, to listen to the voice within and to trust in self.   The High Priestess knows all the mysteries and secrets of the Universe, but you must be open to hear the voice within.   The Moon's energy is that of the dark, the unknown, the mysterious and intuition.  The Moon asks you to trust in your gut and you will find the way.  Although you walk through the dark you are guided by the hounds on the card and your internal voice will lead the way if you are open to listening.

Directions to create a Moon 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.
