Origin & Lore
Success oil belongs to the Crown of Success and Success family of hoodoo condition oils, made for advancement, recognition and getting ahead. It is a general working oil for any goal you are actively pursuing, from a promotion to a creative project.
The Greeks crowned the victors of the Pythian Games at Delphi with laurel, and success magick has never really let go of that image.
Crown of Success and plain Success formulas were staples of mid-century hoodoo catalogues and are still standard condition oils today. They draw on solar symbolism that runs from Greek laurel wreaths to the gold of royal crowns.
Did You Know?
The word “laureate”, as in poet laureate or Nobel laureate, comes from the Latin laureatus, crowned with laurel.
