Meditation With the Gods: Thoth

This is a very woody blend indeed! The overall impression is that of spiced wood. Not pencil shavings though, as people often fear in cedar. I think the oak dominates the cedar a bit, because oak was the first thing I identified. Nor do the spices make it at all foody. It is kind of dark and solemn, yet still comforting. I think this must be what an Ent would smell like. Wink

This is truly amazing! This scent is so grounding to me. I didn't use it for meditation, but I did wear it to bed. I slept like an angel... and I'm an insomniac! I slept deep and hard. I will say that this scent is a deep, slightly dark & spicy with a side of sweet. What a combo. I really think that all these meditation blends are something to experience. I CANNOT WAIT to sniff this in a couple months cause I totally know that this is going to age like a champ... just like the rest of the NA scents I have. This is just some kind a special. Loving it is an understatement and I truly thank NA for making these incredible blends Love

Ooh this is just beautiful!
Like Lorencita said : it's very grounding..... I guess because of the wood notes, which truly evoke a feeling of being in the woods.....at night, with the pale blue light of the moon just barely reaching the place where you sit.
Underneath a big tree.....totally peaceful......
I can see how this would indeed be a very nice oil to use at bedtime.

The woods I smell are not of the dry kind.....this smells like fresh wood, with a little spice and sweetness.....the scent deepens and gets drier when it dries on my skin....picking up more of an incense vibe, not exactly smoky, but more resinous I guess......

I'm really diggin' the Meditation oils! Pink Heart

Initial impression:
This is surprisingly herbal – not at all what I expected with notes like that...

First on:
Really green! There must be more ”planty” things in here...

Dry:
After about 10 mins, it's still a herbal blend with a tiny bit of incense to it. Could it be the cedar and oak just going nuts on me? Hmm. Maybe this would just do better in an oil burner...

Finally:
Probably getting rid of this one... Nice to try, though.

Oh I truly love this blend of spiced wood. I feel like I'm in that temple RA describes and the embers are burning and the incense is lifting upward. In my meditation I really did feel a sense of leaving my body. These meditation blends truly are for meditation. I know they can be used for regular use but I insist everyone really take some time out and experience these scents the way they were intended or I should say they were created for us that needed another dimension in our meditations. When I was in India I smelled this in the Temples and I am taken back to this sacred place where I am alone in it and yet I am around so much love and positivity. Maybe that's just all the people in the forum? I sense a great peace with this scent and an uplifting like being under the security and warmth of the wings of a God.

Sweetened woods, frankincense, spiced with the subtle smoke of incense. This has such a airy coolness about it, transient yet full of depth.
