Origin & Lore

Protection From Harm is a named condition oil in the hoodoo and folk-magick tradition, made to set a guard around a person or place. Practitioners use it on thresholds, vehicles, charms and candles when they feel exposed or have reason to expect trouble.

The 91st Psalm, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High”, has been read over protection oils and amulets for generations.

Protection formulas are among the oldest named oils in conjure. They sit alongside a long tradition of written charms in American folk practice, such as those in John George Hohman’s Pennsylvania German charm book The Long Lost Friend, first printed in 1820, which promised its owner safety simply for carrying it.
