Admiration Oil
To make an oil that will help attract the attention of others, mix together twenty drops of synthetic musk, two drops of jasmine, and one drop of ylang ylang in a small bottle and leave where the full moonlight can strike it for three nights. Be sure to bring it inside before the Sun can find it.
Meanwhile, leave a rose petal, a small piece of crystal quartz, and 1/8teaspoon of powdered cinnamon in a place where the Sun can see them, making sure to move them before moonlight can strike them. On the fourth day, mix together the two sets of ingredients and leave in a dark place. Wear when you wish to draw love and admiration to yourself.

lessing oil in tightly capped dark glass bottle.
