Origin & Lore

Michael oil honours Archangel Michael, whose name means who is like God. In Western ceremonial magick he is the archangel of the South and of elemental Fire, and in planetary magick he is often given to the Sun, so this oil is used for courage, protection and clear direction.

In the Book of Revelation, Michael and his angels fight the dragon and throw him down out of heaven, and he has been the warrior-protector of Christendom ever since.

Michael appears by name in the Book of Daniel, the Epistle of Jude and Revelation, and as Mika’il in the Qur’an. One of the oldest shrines to him, at Monte Sant’Angelo on the Gargano peninsula of Italy, dates to the late 5th century and became a great pilgrimage site.
