Twelve Tribes

(Sanctify)
Twelve tribes… …twelve breast plate stones…twelve temple stones…twelve apostles… twelve awesome powerful oils mentioned in the Bible. This rich, lustrous blend evokes visions of the desert, seems to whisk you away to the Holy Land with aromatic resins of sacred Frankincense, myrrh, Galbanum and labdanum ( cistus or rock rose) that protect and nourish. Envision an oasis with the rare sweet-scented calamus root, hyssop herb and myrtle, the quintessential fragrant plant of Israel. Add the strong, balancing woods of cedar and sandalwood (thought to be the algum of the Bible). Then, spices of cassia and spike nard with a bit of honeycomb representing the sweetness of the Promised Land and have this all around supreme blend with potent spiritual and antiseptic physical properties. 

This is not a casual or purely aesthetic blend. It has the feeling of ritual, purification, inner descent, and spiritual endurance—an aromatic pilgrimage —
a journey inward through smoke, earth, resin, and sacred light.

Use on a diffuser pendant or to anoint the Ether Toes. (dilute with olive oil first before using on skin).
