Origin & Lore

Boundaries oil is a modern formula in the protection and warding family, made to help you set limits and keep them. It draws on old traditions of marking and guarding borders, from Roman boundary stones to the threshold magick of folk practice.

The Romans had a god whose only job was to stand at the boundary and stay put: Terminus, the god of boundary stones.

The Roman festival of Terminalia, held on 23 February, honoured Terminus with offerings at boundary stones.

In English villages, the custom of beating the bounds involved walking the parish boundary and striking markers to remember them.
