Origin & Lore
Go Away oil belongs to the family of named banishing and moving formulas in hoodoo, used to send unwanted people, spirits and situations out of your life. It is worked on candles, doorsteps and in the footprints of the person who must go. It is part of the same branch of work as Hot Foot and Go Away Evil.
Sometimes a problem has a name and a face, and all you want is for it to leave.
Moving and banishing work is one of the best documented branches of Southern conjure, and spiritual-supply houses sold Go Away, Hot Foot and Get Away formulas as oils, powders and candles. Throwing work into running water to carry it away is one of the commonest endings recorded for this kind of working.
Did You Know?
Hot Foot formulas were traditionally sprinkled where the target would walk, so they carried the work away on their own feet.
