Abramelin Oil. Options

I'm considering making some Abramelin oil partly out of curiosity but mostly for fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/connie_witchy.gif)
I think i can deffinately get hold of the ingrediants as there is a "traditional chinese medicine/ alternative medicine" shop in a town near me and they will sell raw ingrediants.

I wonder have any of you guys made Abramelin oil before?
Galangal or Calamus?
should i distill it after maceration?

I've only bought Abramelin Oil from occult shops. The current stuff I have is made by Eye of the Cat, the other stuff I had was made by the wife of the owner of the occult bookshop where I bought it. They both smelled the same, but the latter had galangal fragments in it.

I've got uber-sensitive skin and am allergic to just about *everything.* I've never had a problem with the burning skin bit from Abramelin Oil, so whether or not it burns depends on how much cinnamon oil is put into it. With cinnamon a little goes a long way, so usually a couple drops of the straight essential added to a half ounce vial is enough to get the smell in there. Cinnamon oil applied straight to the skin will raise welts on pretty much anyone, so in this case less is definitely more.

As for making it, heat destroys a lot of the scent. I'd macerate the ingredients, pop them in olive or jojoba oil, let it sit in a warm sunny window for a couple of weeks, then strain and use.
