Origin & Lore

This almond oil is a blend made for ritual use, named for the almond tree, Prunus dulcis. The almond’s early blossoms made it a sign of renewal and watchfulness across the ancient Mediterranean, and modern magickal herbals place it under Mercury for money, prosperity and wisdom.

Folk magick has long treated the almond as a nut of quick wit: it was eaten before study and carried for prosperity.

Almonds have been found in Bronze Age sites in the Near East and in the tomb of Tutankhamun. In the Bible the almond appears as a symbol of divine favour, and in Christian art the almond-shaped halo, the mandorla, surrounds Christ and the Virgin in glory.
