Origin & Lore

Exorcism oil is a named formula oil in the folk-magick and hoodoo tradition, made for banishing evil spirits and unclean presences from people, objects and places. It is used in house clearings, after hauntings, and in ceremonial work where unwanted entities must be sent away.

The Roman Rite of Exorcism, set down in 1614, called for blessed oil and holy water, and folk exorcists have borrowed from it ever since.

The Rituale Romanum of 1614 contained the Catholic Church’s formal rite of exorcism, which remained largely unchanged until 1999. Folk exorcists and hoodoo workers adapted its prayers, psalms and use of blessed oil and holy water to their own house cleansings and spiritual clearings.
