Agate Red in roller bottle

How to Use It

Witchcraft & Folk Magick

• Fill it with a carrier oil and a few drops of a courage or protection oil, so each application touches the stone as well as the skin.
• Roll your blend onto a red candle on a Tuesday, the day of Mars, before a challenge.
• Keep a blend in it for anointing yourself before confrontations or physical effort.

A Simple Working

• Choose a carrier oil such as sweet almond, jojoba or fractionated coconut, and a few drops of a condition or essential oil suited to courage and protection.
• Hold the roller bottle in both hands for a moment and state what the blend is for.
• Fill the bottle most of the way with the carrier, add your chosen drops, and press the red agate roller ball firmly into place.
• Light a red chime candle and roll a line of the blend down the candle from wick to base.
• Roll the blend onto your wrists or the back of your neck, naming your intention aloud.
• Let the candle burn down, and label the bottle with its purpose and the date.

Origin & Lore

This is a glass roller bottle fitted with a smooth red agate rolling ball, made for storing your own essential oil or condition oil blends and rolling them onto the skin, candles or charms. Red agate is a banded chalcedony long worn as an amulet, and in modern crystal lore it is linked with courage, vitality and steady protection.

Agate is one of the oldest worked stones: carved seals, beads and amulets of it turn up in sites thousands of years old.

Agates were prized in the ancient Mediterranean for seals and amulets, and Pliny’s Natural History describes many varieties along with the virtues ascribed to them. Red agate in particular has been worn as a protective and fortifying stone in Middle Eastern and European amulet traditions.
