Frolic Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Ebon Night is an oil of deep, profound reflection. It is the revelation found in darkness, an embrace of quiet solitude, and is also a wellspring of mystery, imagination, dark creativity, and shadowy inspiration. It is a healing oil, as sleep and dreams bring solace, and it enables quiet, somber contemplation. This oil is the perfect preamble to working with night deities. Ok since I rave about this to everyone I guess it's time for me to post a review. Typically I never remember my dreams. My ritual with this oil is very very simple. I simply dot a tiny bit on each palm and rub them together and inhale. I set my intent, usually "Let my dreams give me insight and guidance." It puts me to sleep faster than nocturne and not only do I remember my dreams but they are so clear and full of meaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted May 3, 2015 Okay, so I tried Ebon Night last night mainly because I needed some restful sleep, full of solace. This week has been very trying and stressful, and I didn't need to dream actually. If anything I may have needed to dream less. So I dabbed my chakras and prayed for a restful sleep. And I was out like a light, and like out in a deep sleep type of way. I think I had two REM cycles, and woke up feeling refreshed. I'm going to try Ebon Night again at some point to simply see if it helps with the dreaming. But for a "put you under and help you sleep even when stress keeps waking you up", this does the trick in a mighty fine way. It smells like a dark herbal lavender blend. The overall impression is lavender... and darkness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lady_pandora Report post Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Ebon Night smells like a combination of lavender, and something that reminds me of Cleric, and something that reminds me of one of the stages I got from Yggdrasil. So, while I won't swear these are the correct notes, I'm going to guess it's lavender and frankincense and some kind of wood note. My mental image is of a forest with a dark, dark pool in it, though there is no aquatic note here. That's just my imagination running away with me. I used this when I was too annoyed and anxious to sleep one night, needed to be sharp the next morning, and was worried my other sleep oils wouldn't be up to the task. As I was trying to fall asleep, it worked a little like White Light does for me during the day--anytime I tried to obsess, it would refract my thoughts in a million different directions so I couldn't concentrate on the negative thing. And then I got a reasonable amount of deep, dreamless sleep. I used it with the intent of sleep itself, rather than dreams, and I think that's why it turned out that way. I'll update this review when I've tried it with dreams as the intent. ETA: I think there is also narcissus in this. ETA2: This continues to be my "big guns" when it comes to sleep. I've been sleeping badly for about a week and a half because I was worrying about a health thing. Even after I got checked out and it turned out to be something much less dire, I'd lay awake at night like "What if they're wrong?" Last night I decided I just really needed some sleep. I used Ebon Night, and this time I recited the whole Hymn to Nyx that goes with it too (the mention of fears in it really resonated with me), and I slept like a rock. Vague memories of dreams. Feel pretty darn good this morning. Edited December 12, 2015 by lady_pandora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
