I haven't read all this, just skimmed through and bookmarked for later reading. At first I thought it would be impossible to obtain the oils they are talking about, then I realized the online store sells the oils. This is the kind of novelty item I still get excited about:

Ava, they don't say which 7 seven oils these are. I would be interested to know which ones are considered sacred. It may be that these are available individually in local shops.

@astrokeen - The first link provided by Ava details them:

The Khat (or Khet) - the physical body - Seti Heb oil



The Sah - the spiritual or dreaming body - Hekhenu oil



The Ba - the soul or personality - Sefet oil



The Ab (or Ib) - the heart as the seat of consciousness - Nekhenem oil



The Shut - the shadow - Tuat oil



The Ka - the vital spark, the witness or inner genius - Hat en Ash oil



The Akh - the magically effective spirit or body of light - Hat en Tjhenu oil

vg, thanks!

The names are in the local language, so we can't compare. I looked up the names on the web and found this:

Tuat – Frankincense and Myrrh blend from Somalian Desert, Myrrh Absolute, White Musk Flower and Frankincense Resin

Seti-Heb – (Crushed whole) Almond Blossoms, Almond Oil, White Frankincense, Boswellia Plant, Frankincense resin Tears, Musk Flower, Somalian Fir oil, Benzoin, Dragon's Blood resin and Hawthorn

Sefet – Pine Needle, Fir Needles, Musk, Fir Balsam, Desert Olibanum Gum, Gold Frankincense resin and Ethiopian Olibanum Gum

Nekhen – Egyptian Water Lily, Egyptian Lotus, Musk, Olibanum Gum, Alexandrian Sea salt, Spikenard and Papyrus

Hekhenu – Acacia, Pine Needle, Frankincense, Musk, Pearl Tuberose, Papyrus Musk and Incense

Hat-en-Tjhenu - Juniper, Pine Needle, Libyan Pine and Egyptian Musk

Hat-en-Ash – Sweet Egyptian Musk, Amber, Cedarwood oil, Egyptian Musk and Cedar Chips

This seems to indicate that each oil is a composition of a few oils. The site is : www.zombiiesque.net
