Saint Lucy: Conjure Oil Recipe

[folkwitch]

Lucy’s name means “light”, with the same root as “lucid” which means “clear, radiant, and understandable.” Saint Lucy can shed light on any situation and will clear away any and all confusion. She can also keep a close watch on your enemies.

Saint Lucy’s was martyred under the rule of Diocletian. Refusing to turn her back on her faith, her eyes were put out as part of his torture. Lucy is the Patron Saint of the blind and of those with eye problems.  Statues of Saint Lucy generally depict her holding a dish with two eyes on it, both a reminder of the sight that was taken from her and for the light she can shed on matters that aren’t clear. She is also almost always depicted carrying a palm branch, a symbol of her unwavering faith.

If you are plagued by self-doubt, depression, anxiety, confusion……or simply don’t know where to turn, Saint Lucy is a powerful ally. She will lift your spirits and clear away the veil of confusion. She can be called on to heal more than eye problems, as she miraculously cured her own mother of terminal illness. She is a two-headed worker, meaning she will clear away trouble and confusion and firmly remove anything standing in your path. She is a strong advocate in enemy work. Many times the first sign that an enemy is working against us is a general feeling of confusion and a sense of emotional paralysis that you just can’t put your finger on. Don’t wait for it to get worse, Call on Saint Lucy for help immediately.

Saint Lucy favors women. Legend has it that she was betrayed by her fiancé. He is rumored to be the very one that turned her over to Diocletian to face torture and death. She will always side with the woman in relationships and home matters and can be petitioned to help with an unfaithful spouse or lover. In matters of divorce, she will ALWAYS side with the wife.

You can make a simple but powerful blessing oil to use as an offering to Saint Lucy and for your own use. Here is a traditional Appalachian recipe:

• ·       Olive oil
• ·       Frankincense
• ·       Myrrh
• ·       Angelica
• ·       Eyebright (also known as euphrasia)
• ·       Sage   
• ·       Sweet Woodruff (wild baby’s breath)  *Some call this “Master of the Woods”, but in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s known as Woodruff, Sweet Woodruff, or wild Baby’s Breath. It’s scientific name is Galium odoratum.

Place your ingredients in an amber colored bottle and store in a cool dark place. I prefer to let all of my oils “work” for a full moon cycle before I use them, but if you need it asap, don’t be afraid to use it immediately (this is practical hoodoo!)

You can use the essential oil of the herb or the actual herb. My only caution is: Don’t purchase mass produced conjure oils. If you absolutely want to buy oils vs. make them, there are plenty of professional conjure workers out there who will properly prepare high-quality oils for you at nearly the same cost as the “warehouse” type suppliers. Most of them are very generous with their time, knowledge, and services.

This is a mild, pleasant, sweet and woodsy smelling, oil that you can use to anoint yourself and anything that you want to dedicate to Saint Lucy. It makes a wonderful offering when petitioning Saint Lucy. Use this oil to anoint prayer cards, medallions, candles and statues. Your imagination is your only limit!
