Amber oil

How to Use It

Witchcraft & Folk Magick

• Attraction: wear a drop on the wrists and throat before a date or social event, or dress a red or pink candle for drawing a lover.
• Solar strength: anoint a gold or orange candle on a Sunday when you need warmth and confidence after a difficult season.
• Amulet care: rub a trace of oil onto an amber or jet bead and hold it while speaking your intention to charge it.

Ceremonial & Occult Magick

• Sun correspondences: the oil suits solar talismans and rites of vitality, used alongside gold, citrine or sunflower.
• Coven tradition: in Gardnerian-derived Wicca, a necklace of amber and jet is the mark of a High Priestess, and amber oil is used to honour that regalia.

A Simple Working

• On a Friday evening, take a red chime candle and carve your name and the word “warmth” into it.
• Dress the candle with amber oil from the base up to the wick, drawing toward you.
• Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the saucer around the candle.
• Light it and say what kind of love you want to draw.
• Dab a drop of the oil on your heart while the candle burns.
• Let it burn out, and wear the oil when you go out over the following week.

Pairs Well With

• A red chime candle: for love and passion work.
• Cinnamon: adds heat and speed to attraction spells.
• Amber or jet beads: for charging and wearing as an amulet.
• Rose petals: to soften the warmth toward romance.

Origin & Lore

True amber is fossilised tree resin, found most famously on the Baltic coast and carved into beads and amulets since the Stone Age. In perfumery “amber” names a warm, sweet, resinous accord rather than the stone itself, and amber oil carries that glowing scent.

Ovid tells how the sisters of Phaethon, weeping for their brother after he fell from the Sun’s chariot, turned into poplars whose tears hardened into amber.

Baltic amber was traded south along the so-called Amber Road to the Mediterranean, and amber amulets appear in Neolithic graves around the Baltic. In Wiccan practice the amber and jet necklace is linked to the God and Goddess, light and dark, sun and earth.
