Origin & Lore

Black Cat is a named formula in hoodoo, where the black cat has long been a powerful figure in luck, protection and crossing work. This oil is used as an all-purpose blend, especially for defence and protection.

Whether a black cat crossing your path is lucky or unlucky depends on where you were born: in Britain it was often lucky, in America often the opposite.

In hoodoo, black cat formulas have been used both to bring luck and to cross enemies, a dual role reflected in American folklore about black cats.

In Britain and Ireland, a black cat on the doorstep was often a sign of good fortune.
