Origin & Lore

A sanctuary is a holy place, and from that came the idea of a place of refuge. This oil is made to create that refuge, a protected, quiet space for meditation, rest and coming back to yourself.

In medieval England a fugitive who reached certain churches and grasped the door knocker could claim sanctuary, and the law could not drag them out for a set time.

The right of sanctuary existed in English law until it was abolished for criminals in 1623. Durham Cathedral still has its famous bronze sanctuary knocker, a lion’s head on the north door, though the one on the door today is a replica.
