So can I just check the intention of the Follow Me Boy as you have it rendered, it's:

• Calamus root/Red Flag for control & commanding.
• Catnip for love & beauty 
• Licorice Root for lust, passion & fidelity
• Damiana for sexual stimulous

I'm somewhat concerned as I've just been informed that calamus root has halluncinogenic qualities which inspire person to have "experiences" and as someone with epilepsy I've been advised to substitute with hibiscus root or hyacinth?

The thing is we have different laws concerning herbal ingredients here in Ireland. Calamus root can't be got through sales here and while I have found some online what would worry me is customs. My one guaranteed source is someone growing it and their advice was to avoid it due to epilepsy. I think I shall be making substitutions , sorry hate altering people's hard-work but better safe than sorry.

Ok here's the basic recipe as I originally came across it. Apparently it is a favorite of New Orleans prostitues of both sexes, but the target is always male. Recipe derived from voodun herbalisim.

Note: this perfume oil cannot make someone love you, it can only enhance attraction and passion if some ammount of it existed to begin with.

 As you can see I have no claim to the original recipe... Only my modified version, feel free to subtitute in needed. As always find what works best for you... And sorry i've been distracted and haven't posted my version yet. Though it my be best if anyone interested has time to try the basic formula to, see if it works well for them, before theying to make "Dominus". Which I can assure you won't be for everyone, the sort of empowerment it gives is only appropriate for some. Mainly those with a dominant/top tendancy. This is not an exclusionary statement, others will simply find dominus, uncomfortable and unnatural for them (but feel free to encourage a nice strong lover to use it ).

Although it has being determined that none of the components found within the Acorus calamus plant can be converted to TMA (trimethoxyamphetamine) it is often best to error on the side of caution. Shamanicly it is a plant that encourages experiences that may not always be conducive to a stabilised health, especially if someone is challenged with epilepsy.

Bugscuttle, perhaps you may consider adding a drop of sweat to the mix, not only are you free to wash the oil would carry both a personal marker and your own unique pheromones.

In regards to the other ingredients the lore of Calamus and Hyacinth have many points of familiarity between one another, in both strong physical actions, gay lore, love and the transmutation of sorrow and lonliness.

According to legend Calamus, known also as Kalamos son of Zephyrus was beloved of Karpos, son of Chloris. When, during a swimming match, the beautiful Karpos drowned in the meander river kalamos was so lost in sorrow and grief that he allowed the waves of the river to take him too.

The gods on seeing this act transformed him into a water reed, who's rustling leaves were to echo the lamentation of the lost love and to stand as a charm against others who would risk such a faith.

Hyacinth was a beautiful spartan prince, beloved of the god Apollo and Zephyrus of the western wind. When Hyacinth choose to be the lover of Apollo above Zephyrus, he was wild and enraged, so much so that during a game of discus, Zephyrus drew the winds to guide the disk to Hyacinth.

The discus struck him dead. Apollo lost in his mourning denied Hades his beloved and transformed him into a plant with the warning that he was still beloved, so none may take a Hyacinth directly into themselves without stirring death.

The plant remains toxic but it was and is still used as an incense or oil (especially its tears) so that Apollo would look with grace upon the wearer.

I find it interesting that Zephyrus is involved in both legends. Thankfully one of his plants is the Hibiscus, which has not only a purple hue it is said to saith any disagreement with him. Zephyrus is also brother (sometimes husband) to Iris, goddess of the rainbow.

Such ingredients warrant the suggestion of working with these divine aspects along side the oil.

Satyr, I am quite the advocate of personal attunement and application of any craft, filling the acts with our own sense of purpose, power and intention seems to work far beyond the innate vibrations found in such things, granting them a greater channel to manifest themselves within the world of the witch.

Some information of carrier oils that might be of assistance with your (or anyone else's choice) there are some I wont cover such as Corn Oil, Peanut Oil, Safflower Oil, Soya Bean Oil as I dont really have the time right now but never the less below may be of assistance.
