✨ Spell Oils 101 ✨

Spell oils are probably one of my most used tools & most popular items in the shop i own. I wanted to do a quick dive for folks who are new to them and how to use them in your practice. 🖤

What are they..? Spell oils are tools for spellwork. In simple terms they’re ritually made herbal infusions in a carrier oils (sometimes with fragrance added) with a specific intended energy behind them. Every practitioner who makes them has their own process for how exactly they’re done. You can then use the oil in your day-to-day as well as rituals as energetic boosts. Theyre used to make your spells more “potent” by adding in another layer that matches your intention. Just like you would add crystals, candles, herbs or other magical items into a spell. They’re an additional layer to your magic.

How do I use them..? The best thing about oils is there are endless possibilities. As far as your creativity lets you roam. Most commonly they are used to anoint candles, added to spell jars & ritual baths, mixed with herbs, used to enchant items, put directly on the skin, added to your hair/lotions, used on your hands or objects before a working, given as offerings, etc. I know witches who use them on their vails and clothing, or add it to their hair dye. Others will enchant items to be used in rituals or carried in their day-to-day. Unfortunately Instagram won’t let me post a massive list of all the ways to use them, but hopefully this gives you some insight.

Some practitioners make oils with incredibly specific intentions, but even within that energy you can use them for many kinds of workings. A specialized domination oil can sometimes be perfect in a money working for a new job. Mixing different kinds of oils is always a beautiful way to layer the energy needed for your working too! You’re a witch- go crazy with what feels right. ✨

"HEKATE (Hecate) was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy." - Theoi

I work with Mother Hekate to heal generational trauma, dream work, introspection, and my clairsenses. I venerate her on Saturdays as the planetary correspondences of Saturn fit her well.

She's been with me for over a decade, since the start of my practice. She took on the mother figure role when I personally did not have anyone.

This blog is actually dedicated to her for helping others learn about witchcraft and the occult.

She's a stern teacher, who will take off your training wheels on your bike and push you. However, she'll help you up when you fall. She's kind and nurturing when you need it.

I made an oil for her to call upon her. I use it to carry her with me, to wear for certain purposes and as a candle-dressing. It helps me with my intuition, clairsenses, protection, spiritual communication and divination.

You will need

A clean and cleansed jar

Myrrh - The moon, introspection, protection, spiritual connection, she just loves myrrh (UPG)

Cypress - Historical herb, strength, protection, enhances spirit connection, grief

Lavender - Dreamwork, enhances spirit connections, peace

Thyme - Clairsenses

Carrier Olive Oil - Traditional offering

You can either do the folk method or the hot method. You can find my post on infused oils here to learn how to make infused spell oils. I suggest if you are an animist or someone who wants more power from your oils. Speak to the herbs kindly, treat them less like an ingredient and ask them respectfully for their aid and the purpose they'll have in your oil. Use intention. The same goes for the Olive oil.

You can sub any of these, however, Cypress is historical for her. So is Olive Oil among the Greeks. Try to keep within the theme of the underworld, death, spiritual connection and psychic work.

Blessings!

ANTI-RACISM/PREJUDICE/SEXISM/OPPRESSION SPELL OIL - Code Name: ANTI ⚔️

This spell oil was a gift from the spirits of Mercury that came to me, with a ton of other recipes after working with them for fun. I finally got around to making it last month, since its cooking process is rather lengthy. It’s been sitting on my altar waiting for testing since.

I have only tested it out once at the gym and got some interesting results, which were positive but kind of annoying. Usually existing in blackness means people give you space, especially if you’re not all dolled up. I noticed it made more wheat 🌾 people comfortable around me and being in my space, especially 🌾 women. Everyone was in my space lol 😂

As someone who’s neurodivergent this can be very overstimulating since I enjoy my space but I’m excited to test this out some more and take more notes.

This isn’t for sale in the Coven shop - it takes so long and so much energy to make but I’m gonna enjoy testing this out some more.

I’ll keep y’all updated :))

Blessed Be Seeker of the Arcane,

Thank you for asking!

Uncrossing spell oils do have their origins in Hoodoo & African American folk magic. The metaphysical term of Uncrossing is defined by the removal of Crossed Conditions (ie; blockages, stagnant energy, challenges, curses, jinxes and hexes) in African American folk magic. While the practice of Hoodoo itself is closed to outsiders, sometimes it is okay for outsiders to purchase Uncrossing oils and other Hoodoo items from African American practitioners for their own personal use, if you are not African American.

If you are familiar with the book Hoodoo, Conjuration, Witchcraft & Rootwork by Harry Middleton Hyatt, some of you already know that African Americans have been selling Hoodoo items, mojos and spell oils to both African Americans, fellow Hoodoos & other non-African Americans for the past 200 yrs. This is actually a very well-documented historical fact.

Here are few screenshots about this from Hoodoo, Conjuration, Witchcraft & Rootwork for future reference and Hoodoo history's sake:

Many of African American Hoodunsi and Louisiana Kreyols were able to sustain a living and their livelihoods by maintaining this intersection and this truly has not changed in modern times. As long as you are not using those items to unfairly hurt an African American it IS okay for you to purchase items from African American witch shops for your own personal use, unless specified otherwise by that specific witch shop. If you have any concerns, feel free to message a shop owner directly and I guarantee they will QUICKLY let you know if it is appropriate to patronize their shop. However please keep in mind, that you are not owed anything and be on your best behavior, doing your absolute best to be respectful when doing so.

I wouldn't use any Hoodoo magical items that you've purchased for baneful or unjust purposes on other African Americans because it can backfire severely. A great deal of Hoodoo items are made under the watchful eyes of spirit and the ancestors, so it's best not to play with fire in that regard.

Spending your money at any variety of African American Hoodoo shops should not be controversial but unfortunately it is and this is rightfully so due to racial tensions and these unprecedented times. This has honestly led to a great deal of witchy cultural appropriation by non-African Americans and thievery, because there has always been a demand for these items that used to be met and supplied but recently there have been many false rumors, that purchasing items from Hoodunsi or African Americans is not okay and appropriative.

I personally am of the belief, that this rumor was spread on purpose so that others could financially exploit and steal from African Americans, slowing down business to steal additional profits for themselves, after subtly causing all this infighting as a distraction. This rumour has always simply been an all-out bald-headed lie, especially when we go back to actually look at the history for reference.

As a self-proclaimed historical preservationist of Hoodoo, I will not stand for ANY historical revisionism, when it comes to Hoodoo, Rootwork & Conjure. I always do my very best to deal in truth and facts, painstakingly refining and re-correcting if any mistakes have been made. I am deeply passionate about maintaining the integrity of Hoodoo’s history and its gotten me into trouble a few times.

Here's a cool but little-known metaphysical fact:

A strong majority (but not all) of spell oils, recipes and potions on the western wiccan and pagan marketplace currently can actually trace their origins from Traditional African American Folk Magic , Conjure & Hoodoo recipes. Up the power in your witchy arsenal by going directly to the source.

Remember in order to practice Hoodoo, you must be African American but purchasing items from a Hoodunsi or supporting an African American witch shop, does not mean you are practicing Hoodoo.

Hoodoo is a bloodline genetic practice, the only way to practice Hoodoo is if you have African American heritage.

If you've finally made it to this part,

Thanks for reading and joining me on this brief history lesson on African American folk magic. Also thanks again for asking me a genuinely interesting question.

I hope this was helpful for you,

What is the Evil Eye? Evil eye is caused by many things from envy to a malicious look. Receiving the Evil Eye can cause misfortune and bad luck, nightmares, tripping, headaches etc. This oil is 1 Oz.

This oil was created to combat it, this is a jam packed herb mix from Rue to Eucalyptus to Nettle to Anise to Thyme and many more. There is also some Lemon Essential Oil in it to help cleanse and break the eye. This oil is best applied to the wrist, ankles and bottom of the feet. The base of this product is Olive Oil and Vitamin E Oil.
