Origin & Lore

Fertility oil is a named condition oil in the folk-magick tradition, made for prayers and workings around conception and family. It is used alongside the older devotional practices of lighting candles to fertility saints and blessing couples who hope to become parents.

Eggs, pomegranates, hares and the full moon: almost every fertility charm in European folk magick reaches for something round, full or abundant.

Saint Gerard Majella, an 18th-century Italian Redemptorist, is the Catholic patron of expectant mothers and those hoping to conceive. Candles and prayers to him are widely used in Italian and Latin American communities, and condition oils for fertility sit within that devotional tradition.
