THE Patchouli Oil ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK
Be authentically sensual.
No magical ingredient is more earthy and sensual than patchouli oil. This oil is used to attract a lover, to set the mood for a romantic rendezvous, and to connect you with your own sensuality.
Sensuality is sometimes pushed away because it makes others uncomfortable or it’s deemed “inappropriate,” but sensuality is an integral part of being alive. You get to experience this world through your body and there is so much to enjoy!
Feel the rush of a passionate kiss, the comfort of a loving hug, the tantalizing smell of freshly baked cookies, the relaxing sensation of warm sun on your skin—your body allows you to experience all of that and more.
When the Patchouli Oil card comes up, it could be a call to reconnect with the pleasures you can enjoy through your amazing body.
Who cares if you have stretch marks on your thighs? Rock that swimsuit like the goddess you are! Do you want to order the cheesiest pizza on the menu and eat it in your softest sweatpants? Do it! Savor every bite, and don’t judge yourself.
Maybe you’ve been judged in the past by well-meaning people who wanted you to be perceived as polite, classy, and put together, but the Patchouli Oil card urges you to examine the choices you’ve been making. Are you doing things for the sake of appearing a certain way to others? Or are you embracing all facets of yourself, even your wild, sensual side?
Only you know the answer to that.
Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess
When you need to reconnect with your body, diffuse some patchouli oil with a cauldron or an essential oil diffuser. If you’re using a cauldron, fill the cauldron with a half cup of water. Add two or three drops of patchouli oil to the liquid. Light a tea light and slide it under your cauldron to heat up your water.
Meditate as the oil diffuses throughout your room, or put on your favorite songs and dance like a wild woman.
Note: Patchouli oil can be harmful if it gets on your skin. Some oils should not be used around pregnant women or people with other health conditions, so check with a doctor before using any essential oils. Be aware that many oils can trigger allergic reactions.
You can also substitute patchouli oil for graveyard dirt in a pinch! Its earthy properties hold similar powers as magical dirt, Plus, it’s a little easier to get ahold of.
