The basic principle is easy: put the herb in the oil, and wait.
If you are bothered by herb particles in the finished product, you can
use a tea egg or a small bag of muslin or nylon suspended by string in
the bottle, and remove them when you find the fragrance strong
enough. This requires a bottle with a wide opening. If you don't have
such a bottle, you can strain the oil in a wire-mesh tea sieve
instead. If you aren't bothered by herb particles, you can often leave
the herb in the oil until you've used it all up. This works
particularly well with antiseptic herbs like peppermint, but can in
other cases make the oil go stale.

The time it takes for an oil to become pleasantly fragrant depends on
the herb and the oil, what you consider pleasant and the conditions
you keep them under. You will have to experiment with concentration,
stirring, and time to find out which works best under your
circumstances. With some herbs crushing can speed up the process.
Seeds like fennel are among those. Many herbs vary quite a lot in
strength depending on a range of factors, so sometimes you will have
to adapt your recipes. The best thing is probably to develop your
intuition with regards to herbs. As a rule of thumb, two weeks to
three months should be adequate.

I'd like to know if any of you fall into trance, or something of a mystical experience, while dancing?

I saw a question on here that had to do with a gnome. So I looked it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome I guess they are legendary, mythical creatures that lived near toad stools. They were very small, had pointy hats and long beards. They had to hide from the sun and sunlight could turn them to stone...well, you can read the article if you want...From what I understand gnomes are found in legends and myths of many different cultures.
So whats the difference between a gnome and a troll and/or a leprechaun. Are trolls ugly?
I know that leprechauns are probably found more in fairy tales and legends that are geographically close to Ireland.
I do realize, also, that these creatures are only legends and do not exist in reality. They are like unicorns, etc, etc.

I had a dream that I was on some kind narrow tube that was above a lake. It fed water into the lake and the tube was half open. There was a girl who jumped into the lake, and I was supposed to follow her. Her brother was there and he was like gothic, he had black on with red outlining and he seemed evil. I jumped in after her. The water was a muddy color but it was normal feeling. It wasn;t warm or cold. I looked underwater and saw her brother slashing at the water trying to hurt me. Anyway someone popped up between us from the water and stopped him. She wore some kind of fish suit that covered her head and had fins on the elbows and head. In the center of the lake was a giant stone structure that had a staircase in the center of it that wound it's way to the top. I don't remember much after that but I remember following the girl from the river, she led me into a forest. I'll have to add the rest in details. Read lower: I'm running out of room.

I have heard that if you are experiencing voices or seeing things that scare you that you should place a jar of water with the lid closed under your bed for three days. But you have to close off all other water that the spirit might go into. toilet lids cat water ect. you wait three days then go to a cross road. open the jar and throw it over your shoulder but don't look back or it won;t work. If you hear any type of noise or vioces its completed. Do you find this fact or fiction and why?

In Disneys the little mermaid, the mer-people can talk to the fishes and crabs and all of the other sea creatures. If that is so, then why cant the people on land talk to all the cats and dogs and other land animals?
