Astral Travel Oil and the Traditions of Spirit Journeying
Astral Travel oil stands apart from every other Espiritu formula in the collection because it targets an inward psychic goal rather than an interpersonal outcome. Where formulas like Love Drawing or Business Success work outward, shaping the practitioner’s influence over circumstances and other people, Astral Travel oil works inward, preparing the mind and spirit for the deliberate separation of awareness from the physical body. The practice it supports goes by many names: astral projection, out-of-body experience, spirit travel, and lucid dreaming, depending on the tradition, but the underlying technique involves entering a deep trance state where conscious awareness can navigate beyond the physical senses.
The concept of the astral body appears across three major streams of Western esoteric thought. In Theosophical literature, developed by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in the late nineteenth century, the astral plane is described as a subtle dimension interpenetrating the physical world, traversable during deep sleep and disciplined trance. In Hermetic cosmology, the practitioner’s subtle body could ascend through the planetary spheres in a sequence of initiatory journeys. In shamanic traditions across Siberia, the Americas, and Africa, spirit journeying has been practiced by specialists for millennia, using drumming, plant medicines, and ritual preparation to induce the necessary state.
Scent as an Anchor for Trance States: Why Fragrance Oils Work
Scent is among the most reliable sensory anchors for altered states of consciousness. The olfactory system is the only sensory pathway that connects directly to the limbic system without passing through the thalamic relay, which is why certain fragrances can shift mental states rapidly and profoundly. Herbs traditionally linked to dream enhancement and trance include mugwort, associated with dreaming and vision in European folk herbalism; wormwood, used in classical divination and sleep practices; and sandalwood, which appears across Hindu, Buddhist, and Western esoteric traditions as a preparation for meditation and spiritual work. A fragrance formula drawing on these correspondences serves as a consistent scent-cue that trains the practitioner’s nervous system to shift into the receptive state over repeated use.
These are ritual fragrance oils formulated for ritual and psychic practice. For more aroma oils, browse my oils and diffusers collection. Astral Travel oil is produced for the ritual preparation context, where the goal is supporting the mental and spiritual conditions for spirit work.
How to Use Astral Travel Ritual Oil
Three practical methods for using Astral Travel ritual oil to prepare for out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming, and psychic work.
- Anoint Before Astral Projection Practice
Before attempting astral projection or lucid dreaming, apply a small drop of Astral Travel oil to your third eye, temples, and wrists. Lie down in a darkened room, slow your breathing, and allow the scent to anchor your intent to separate awareness.
- Burn a Candle During Pre-Travel Meditation
Anoint a purple or indigo candle with the oil and burn it during your pre-travel meditation. Let the candle finish before entering the hypnotic state, as open flames should never be left burning while you are in deep trance or sleep practice.
- Anoint Psychic Tools and Charm Bags
To enhance psychic tools, apply a small amount of the oil to scrying mirrors, crystal balls, or pendulums before use. The oil supports the mental shift into receptive states and can be added to charm bags dedicated to psychic development work.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry Astral Travel oil because it fills a category that most fragrance oil lines overlook: the psychic and spirit-work preparation formula. Having the 1 oz size in stock means practitioners who use this oil regularly can maintain a consistent supply. It belongs in the chakra, meditation, and psychic tools collection, where it sits alongside the crystals, pendulums, and scrying tools that practitioners combine with it for a complete psychic practice.
