Origin & Lore
Protection oil is a named condition oil used across witchcraft and hoodoo to guard the body, home and spirit. Many practitioners wear it during divination and spirit work to keep the doors they open from letting in anything unwelcome.
Every tradition that opens the psychic senses also teaches you to shield first, and protection oil is one of the simplest shields there is.
Ceremonial and folk traditions alike prepare the body and space before opening to spirits or psychic impressions, through cleansing, anointing and drawing a protective boundary.
Protection oils were a staple of the spiritual supply houses that served American hoodoo and Spiritualist practitioners through the twentieth century.
Did You Know?
In Spiritualist churches of the early twentieth century, mediums often opened séances with prayers of protection before calling on spirits.
