Oil of the Opalescent Light

As this oil was made in a small batch, only 12 bottles are available

Oil of the Opalescent Light is a liquid harnessing of the virtues of Opal, replete with their glimmering and shining display of colors caught just right in the light, a storehouse of luminosity set to play with the shimmering potentials of invisibility and glamour, playing not just on going unseen, but on using light to shape perception, to appear in any way that you want. This is an oil for those that would glamour others and be enchanting; those who would accomplish all through glamour and allure; for those who would improve how others see them in the workplace - to grow sales, to be given more tips, to recieve promotions and awards; those who would enchant and snare lovers or benefactors; and for all who would use their cunning beneath the manipulation of perception to improve their lives. 

At the heart of this oil sits a 1.54 carat Ethiopian Opal nestled with a Chameleon, swimming in a haze of Bay leaf, Black and yellow Mustard seed, Calamus, Chameleon, Deerstongue leaf, Mercury Powder, Poppy seed, Sesame seed, snake bone and skin, Sunstone, Sun Powder, Vandal root, Venus Powder, and 23 other woods and leaves associated with glamour and illusion. 

In his Natural History, Pliny described opal as one of the most powerful and prized gemstones:

“In them you shall see the flaming fire of the ruby, the resplendent purple of the amethyst, and the sea-green of the emerald, all shining together in incredible union.”

Opal is a complex stone glimmering across a vast body of folklore, though what really interests me are the medieval and european ascriptions of Opal being able to grant invisibility and the ability to change your appearance based in its extreme display of shining colors. This is not the commonly seen form of invisibility magic where the worker seeks to go unseen in the night, for staying hidden in the shadows - no, this is the magic for hiding on center stage, for playing the game of peacocks, for performing the show and being seen exactly as you wish to be - this is what is harnessed in Oil of the Opalescent Light. In the game of the peacock, to act upon an agenda and bring it to fruition, you may at times need to appear different than you are, and it is here that we can go through Opal, to play upon its many colors and hidden lights to appear in any way, be it kinder or meaner; more attention grabbing than others; more - or less- memorable; better suited to perform a task or the opposite; and for when you want to shine above all others. Oil of the Opalescent Light is capable of making you be seen in any way that you want, of subverting the memory of those that you seek to affect, and for having influence on nearly any situation as the applications of these charms are as vast in capability as their heart-stones are in colors and light. 

Each 30ml bottle of Oil of the Opalescent Light arrives with detailed instructions and suggestions for use.
