A handfasting is a Witch's wedding ceremony. This oil how ever, can be used by any couple, regardless of their marital status! It is one of the few magical oils that contains a dried herb mixed in with the essences. This is often given to Witch couples on the evening of their handfasting.
The formula:
When finished, pour into twin crystal jars. One of these is given to the woman, the other to the man. Every night the couple should anoint one another, using their own jars. When seven nights have passed, the oils should be blended together, poured into one of the jars,and the other jar should be hidden in some secret place.
