Zombie Crayz essences oil

How to Use It

Witchcraft & Folk Magick

• Wear it to a Samhain gathering or Halloween ritual as a glamour oil, a scent that announces you before you speak.
• Dress an orange candle for confidence, vitality and a good mood before an event you are dreading.
• Anoint a costume mask or the edge of a mirror before glamour work, so the face you put on carries a charge.

Ceremonial & Occult Magick

• On a Sunday, the day of the Sun, use it to dress a gold or orange candle in simple solar workings for success and recognition.

A Simple Working

• On a Sunday morning or before a big night out, set out an orange chime candle and a small hand mirror.
• Warm a drop of Zombie Crayz oil between your fingertips and dress the candle from base to wick.
• Light the candle and set the mirror behind it so the flame is doubled.
• Anoint your wrists and the back of your neck.
• Look into the mirror and say plainly how you want to be seen tonight.
• Let the candle burn down while you get ready, and carry the scent out with you.

Pairs Well With

• Dried orange peel, the classic solar ingredient to add to sachets alongside the oil.
• Cinnamon sticks, a warm, quick spice traditionally added to success and attraction work.
• Sunstone or carnelian, bright stones kept for confidence and courage.
• Orange or gold candles, the colours of the Sun in most candle-magick tables.
• A small mirror for glamour work.

Origin & Lore

This is a novelty scent oil, Zombie Crayz, with a single bright note of blood orange. Its name nods to the walking dead, but in the craft its scent sits with the orange: a solar fruit whose peel has long gone into folk magick mixes for joy, attraction and success. It suits Samhain and Halloween rituals, glamour work and any spell that wants a little brazen cheer.

Before the zombie shambled into horror films, it was the zonbi of Haitian folklore: a body raised and set to work by a sorcerer.

The Haitian zonbi belongs to a body of belief in which a bokor, a sorcerer, could raise the dead or seize a living person’s soul and set the body to labour. American writers carried the idea north in the 1920s and 30s, and Hollywood did the rest, turning a figure of enslavement into a figure of horror.

Blood oranges, meanwhile, are sweet oranges grown above all in Sicily and Spain; varieties such as Moro, Tarocco and Sanguinello take their crimson flesh from the climate they are grown in.
