In a previous post, Candice Covington shared the alchemical concept of psychic transformation in the silence of self-containment to enter the womb or “rose”. Now, she shares how to use rose oil in ritual anointing practices to invite the aspect of sub rosa into your life.

Did you know each number holds a vibration you can impart into your blends? For example, if you want to invite the aspect of sub rosa into your life, use a single drop of White Rose Oil as the number one imparts the energy of: unity, all that is, undivided universal energy, the alchemical marriage, and wholeness. Whereas if you want to invoke the aspect of opening to the mystical, as exemplified by--Isis, Cybele, Mother Mary, and Venus--you would use seven drops. As seven brings the energy of: mystical understanding, universal truths, and how you can best use this understanding for the highest good of all.

Apple fixed oil Pyrus Malus. (Available soon at www.divinearchetypes.com) Apple gives rise to greater understanding of oneself and the environment by accessing the unfolding but unused aspects of the self. It connects the conscious and unconscious mind for growth and deepens the creative impulse that leads to beauty here on earth. When cut through lengthwise, an apple reveals a near perfect pentagram, or five-pointed star, with each point containing a seed, which supports understanding of the tenet “As above, so below,” or the microcosmic-macrocosmic principle.
blend and Application
It is best practice to dilute all essential oils into a fixed oil (fatty base oil) before application on the body. Try 1 tsp fixed apple oil + 1 or 7 drops of white rose essential oil + meditate on the which aspect(s) of white rose you want to invoke. Apply blend to center of the forehead (third eye) and middle of the chest (heart chakra) close your eyes, breathe deeply, and receive the gifts, so freely given.
intentional jewelry pairing
Creating a healing practice around sacred jewelry is rather straight forward. While wearing jewelry on its own offers energetic benefits, those energies can be greatly amplified by anointment with appropriate essential oils and using an affirmation to set your intent.
Anointing Jewelry
Use the same blend as above for 1 drop.
Anoint sparingly the back of desired jewelry piece.
Cup jewelry in hands over heart, listen to Loving Guided Meditation, to invoke the loving aspect of rose.
Wipe off any access oil. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, adorn yourself in your jewels, and take in the gifts, so freely given.
