Re: Sourcing my response:

Circular movements:

Circular Movements. Sometimes one could move in a circle around the focal point of the necromancy, whatever this was to be. Deliodorus twice speaks of Egyptian necromancers circling around dead bodies. When he tells us that his old woman of Bessa leaped repeatedly between the pit and the fire, between which she had laid out her son’s corpse, we are presumably to imagine she did so in a circle… Ps.-Quintilian’s sorcerer binds a restless ghost into its tomb by “surrounding” it (circumdantur) with a harmful spell. After the Suda’s psuchagogoi have located the spot in which the corpse of a restless ghost lies, they mark it off and walk around it, conversing with the ghosts and asking them the reasons for their disquiet. An obscure clause of the sacred law from Selinus (ca. 460 BCE) prescribing mechanisms for ridding oneself of an attacking ghost (see chapter 8) seems to suggest one should move in a circle after offering the ghost a meal and sacrificing a piglet to Zeus. This accords with the use of circular libations around the pit, discussed above. As with these libations, the purpose of circular movements was clearly to purify the area marked off by them. The circle can concomitantly be thought of as constituting some sort of protective barrier between the living and the ghosts, as appears from the complementary process in Lucian’s Menippus. Here it is not a matter of an individual ghost being summoned into the realm of the living, but of an individual living person descending into the realm of the dead. As part of the purifications Mithrobarzanes performs for Menippus prior to his necromantic descent, he walks around him in order to protect him from the ghosts. The Greeks often carried sacrificed victims around areas or individuals to be purified…”
- Daniel Ogden, Greek and Roman Necromancy. (P. 178 - 179).

Note the mention of ‘circular libations.’ I can quote more too, later.

The combination of Honey / Wine / Holy Water comes indirectly from CLM 849, the Munich Necromancer’s Handbook. In the process of using the Mirror of Floron (I’ll dig through Kieckhefer’s Forbidden Rites later for a page number if it is so desired), the necromancer is to sprinkle the air with Honey / Wine / Milk. Milk is an offering made to the dead in Greece and the wider Magna Graecia, and even appears in Orphic tablets:

You have just died and have just been born, thrice happy, on this day.
Tell Persephone that Bacchus himself has liberated you.
A bull, you leapt into the milk.
Swift, you leapt into the milk.
A ram, you fell into the milk.
You have wine, a happy privilege
and you will go under the earth, once you have accomplished the same
rites as the other happy ones.

—  L 7a-b Two tablets from Pelinna, 4th cent. B.C., 1st edition Tsantsanoglou and Parassoglou (1987) 3 ff. (From Bernabe & Christophe, Instructions for the Netherworld. P. 62)

I’ve displaced it for lustral water (which could easily be compared with khernips), but in fact you can use both. In CLM 849, the mixture is to be prepared 'in equal parts’ and the addition of holy water will not be bad. I’ve actually done it a lot, and it works well.

Frankincense and Myrrh are, as the link I posted from Sannion earlier, the two most popular forms of incense for the Gods in Greece. Rosemary, Mint, and Marjoram make up the three primary plants of incense in the Grimorium Verum:

“Make an aspergillus from mint, marjoram and rosemary, which is bound by a thread made by a virgin maiden.
- Jake Stratton-Kent, The True Grimoire. (P. 108)

And:

“The perfume for the circle before you enter therein is musk. amber, aloes wood and frankincense.

The perfume for inside the circle is mace alone.

The perfume for spirits the is frankincense alone.”
- Jake Stratton-Kent, The True Grimoire. (P. 108)

Cold running water is a common cleansing element in folklore; Mandrake is to be cleansed with it in some cases, and this theme of using cold, running water for it is picked up by Franz Bardon in Initiation into Hermetics.

Clean clothes: I’ll look up some exact citations later. I’ve already transcribed a bit tonight, and am feeling tired, if that’s okay. *laughs* Same with Bardon on cold water.

Sorry that this is somewhat half-assed. I’m at a three book limit tonight, I guess.
