Origin & Lore

Sun oils belong to the tradition of planetary oils, made to align work with one of the seven classical planets. The Sun rules success, vitality, fame, leadership, health of the spirit and clarity.

Sunday belongs to the Sun, and in planetary magick it is the day for anything that needs light, confidence and success.

Many ancient religions honoured the Sun as a god: Ra in Egypt, Helios and Apollo in Greece, Sol in Rome.

In Western magick, the Sun’s day and hours have been used for success and leadership work since at least the medieval grimoires.
