Art of Oils in Hoodoo

Oils in Hoodoo



Much like powders oils are widely used in Hoodoo , for anointing ritual tools , all sorts of mundane objects , even persons .
I mentioned them quite a few times in my earlier articles , so I will focus on oil making procedure and recipes .

Well we basically make them in two ways

1. Blend of e. oils mixed with base oil such as castor oil , sweet almond , olive or jojoba. Sometimes we will also add plant or fruit juice , since it is obvious that for example apple does not contain any e. oil
2. Placing herbs , roots , fruit chops in jar with base oil , leaving them closed tightly in cold places for some time and then perhaps repeat the process only with new herbs. I make my Hoodoo oils in Wiccan manner since I am eclectic , so I let them stay for a moon cycle ( from waxing to waxing Moon , 28 daays ) and If available I add new herbs into oil weekly .

Some herbs and resins are more readily absorbed than others. If you have an essential oil of an herb used in a recipe, you can add some to the recipe to enhance the aroma, as well. Be sure to add a few drops of tincture of Benzoin to your oils or they will go rancid (unless you are using jojoba oil as a base).

Blessing the oils can be simple as holding them and visualizing the positive outome , it can be petition to Lord , or a prayer or psalm . Or even a passage from Bible that refers to oils , here is an example


The Lord spoke to Moses: Exodus 30:22-25
Take the finest spices of liquid myrrh
five hundred shekels,
and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much,
that is, two hundred fifty,
and two hundred fifty of aromatic cana,
and five hundred of cassia -
measured by the sanctuary shekel -
and a hin of olive oil,
and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil
blended as by the perfumer;
it shall be a holy anointing oil.

I love to use my own words , something like this:

Blessed be , thou made by art of Fire , Blessed and Consecrated by The Highest Divine Virtue , and in the Name of the Most Supreme than has power over all. And as the Lord Jesus His Son , turned water into wine , so shall You with this prayer become a Consecrated and Blessed oil . So mote it be !
