Snow White essential oil

[Wintruz]

In my personal rites, I've taken to offering essential oils on a burner rather than incense (which I generally keep now for larger/group workings). Much of what are sold as occult oils are based on correspondences which have no relevance to me and a lot of pre-made oil mixtures are cloyingly synthetic. So I've decided to mix my own and, because I'm working heavily with German folklore at the moment, I decided to take the Grimms' description of Snow White as the basis of my mixture. For those who don't remember, it goes like this...

skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony

None of these similes produce oil and so I've had to be creative. For white, I used Abies alba (meaning; "rising white") which grow plentifully in the areas in which the story is set. For black, I used black cherry which also grow in the same areas. For red, I used a small amount of good quality port (alcohol is sacred to Wotan) poured, with the oils, straight onto the burner with a couple of drops of water. The result was potent and it fit well with what I was doing.

I'm interested though in how others would have interpreted the same guidelines. Are there better representations of these three elements that I missed? What would you have mixed?

I don't use oil on a burner (only to anoint) but I really like the idea. These are of course the three colors and other ingredients (in these colors) could make for some nice loose incense. Good stuff.

I don't know enough about oil mixing to comment on that.
Except that i like your approach i would only add to always remember the esoteric meanings.
in her description i would say it evokes vitality, she is healthy in her prime, full of life but fragile-in contrast to the witch
who also evokes her own shade of pretty. Maybe you also add the witch/oil into the idea?
If one gets you drunk the other should get you sober?
(then you get a regular chick lmao)

E yo hold up. You make a batch of Snow White and a batch of Evil Queen
then finish them up by taking 10-20 percent from both and replacing them- doing a ying-yang with it.

i know, you're welcome. I will be accepting money and valuables. My genius knows no bounds.
