Origin & Lore

Time Mastery is a modern condition oil, made in the tradition of formula oils that each target one problem in daily life. It is meant for the scattered, the forgetful and the chronically late, and is worked to steady attention, hold to a schedule and finish what has been started.

Saturn, the slowest of the old planets, was the lord of time to astrologers: the patient teacher who rewards discipline and punishes delay.

Renaissance mages assigned each hour of the day to a planet, beginning at sunrise with the planet that rules the day, and grimoires such as the Key of Solomon instruct the magician to work only in the proper hour. Saturn ruled Saturday and was linked with time partly because the Greek god Kronos was long confused with Chronos, time itself.

Time Mastery is a modern formula in the older tradition of oils named for exactly what they are meant to do.
