More and more people understand the nature of healing oils and blends, the soul of the plants, and can distinguish them from artificially produced ones. Through aromatherapy we only get to know their effects on the physical level but sacred oils work on the levels of body, spirit, and soul as well. They approach the qualities of the spiritual energy, and their effect is derived from there.
Through the course of history, knowing such oils and blends was the privilege of the ointment makers and the priestesses. Sacred alchemy with holy oils is a very ancient tradition.
From the times of the Old Testament, in the book of Exodus, we can find the recipe of the holy balm which is handed over to Moses by God. And the Lord said unto Moses: “Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense; of each shall there be a like weight. And thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee; it shall be unto you most holy” (Exodus 30:34-36).The scriptures also mention storax (the resin of the oriental or American sweetgum), onyx, galbanium, frankincense consequently we can be well assured that ointment makers have always been among us. Apostle Paul refers to fragrance as the knowledge of truth, and says: “For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ'' (2 Corinthians 2:15).
Among others, biblical oils are sandalwood (Santalum paniculatum), hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), nard (Nardostachys jatamansi), and labdanum (Cistus ladanifer). There have been different recipes for oil blends since humans existed on Earth. The oil of nard was sold in a small alabaster vial and was equal to a year of wage. What do you think, who was that woman who poured this oil on top of Christ’s head the very night before his crucifixion? "While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the Leper, He was reclining at the table, and a woman came with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the vial and poured the perfume over His head" (Mark 14:3).
Who were the initiated priestesses of Isis, the Mistress of the Sacred Oils, the Myrrhbearers? Was Maria Magdalena also a myrrhophore? Yes, she was indeed. The name of “myrrophore” denotes a person who has already been through initiation.
In the Book of Esther mentions that a girl could only meet Ahasuerus, the Persian king, after she had been through six months of preparation with myrrh and six months with balms. Traditional Chinese Medicine is still in use today. We can travel to the Far East, to the origins of any ancient culture, and we can find this secret knowledge everywhere.
The Golden Women were the women of a true, wise and peaceful society who also had creative, healing, and magical powers. These women were guided by their intuition, anticipation, visions, and spiritual channels, so they had helped to heal both physically and spiritually, fostered abundant yield, and assisted miracles. It is told so in the Arvisura (around 5,000 B.C.) which is the script created by the samans of the twenty-four Hun tribes. Golden Women are the female essence themselves who were very aware of and used the wisdom of the healing essences.
The priestesses of Isis, the Golden Women, Lalita, the sacred biblical oil blends, the healings, the anointing, the sacred rituals, the embalming… are all the sacred bonds of the soul, the gate that opens up. Alchemy unleashes the hidden energy in the matter which helps all the impurities to surface and clear. The alchemists are the warriors of the spirit who are devoted to refine personal potentials. They are continuously preparing themselves to the mysteries of death and the gates, and all beyond them.
What is this way?
The solution of the game of positive and negative, the god and the goddess, the light and the dark, the unification and integration of the Sun and the Moon, the man and the woman. The Heart and the Mind always battles over the which has to integrate two different things in itself until we see beyond polarities.
Until, instead of THIS OR THAT, becomes THIS AND THAT. SHE IS ISIS.
