Origin & Lore

Unblocked oil belongs to the road-opening family of condition oils, kin to Road Opener and Abre Camino. It is used when progress has stalled, whether in money, love, career or spiritual growth, to clear the way ahead.

A key, a crossroads and a lit candle: those three things sit at the heart of road-opening work in almost every tradition that does it.

Road-opening work has deep roots in the African diaspora, where crossroads spirits such as Papa Legba and Eleggua open and close every path. Hoodoo carried the same idea into condition oils sold as Road Opener, Block Buster and Unblocked.
