Origin & Lore

Bend Over oil is a traditional domination condition oil in hoodoo, used to bend others to your will. It is worked to make people pliable and willing to do as you wish, and to overcome the resistance of a boss, partner, official or rival.

Bend Over is one of the bluntest names on the hoodoo shelf, and that bluntness is the point: it is worked to make people yield.

Bend Over is one of the old domination formulas of the hoodoo tradition, sold alongside Commanding, Compelling and Do As I Say by twentieth-century supply houses. These oils were used in very practical situations, from keeping a job to winning an argument at home.
