Spell oils are also called conjur oils and they are used in witchcraft, voodoo, hoodoo
and rootwork.
Their uses are as varied as the people who make them.
Four Thieves oil is used to promote good health and vitality.
This oil recipe has been handed down from the 1400’s and was used by plague doctors
during the black plague.
Four Thieves oil and four thieves vinegar has as many variations as there are stories
about it.
It can have up to 10 ingredients and as few as 4 or 5 herbs.
My version has 5 herbs.
Most are antimicrobial and antiviral.
The word Thieves has almost become a generic term to describe any type of antibacterial,
immune-boosting blend of essential oils.
You can also put these ingredients, as essential oils in apple cider vinegar to create an infused
vinegar which consists of a combination of antimicrobial herbs.
Before I talk about each ingredient and what it adds to the oil, I feel like I need to
say that When making your own Four Thieves Oil, you should incorporate the ingredients
you have on hand, that provide the effects you want in your oil.
As always, my tutorials should only be a starting point for you to develop your own craft.
I encourage you to use what feels right for you, and what you have access to.
There is no need to buy expensive herbs or spices, unless you want to.
You can use any bottle you have on hand for spell oil.
I chose this tall thin bottle but one with a wide opening can be a bit easier to add
herbs into.
This is called the master bottle.
All of the ingredients are mixed into this bottle.
I usually start with the dry ingredients, then add the essential oils, and finally add
the carrier oil.
You can do this the opposite way if you prefer to start with the main oil.
Cinnamon can help to speed up the magic in your spell oil.
It is used for both love and luck magic.
Anoint your wallet with cinnamon oil or carry a cinnamon stick to draw money to you.
It can be used in spells relating to success and can bring you luck.
Cinnamon has a wide range of magical uses, which is why I love it so much, but beware
that it may cause skin irritation.
Medicinally, Cinnamon has a positive effect on infection control, blood sugar management,
and other conditions.
It has antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties
It is said that if you burn cloves as an incense you draw wealth and prosperity and drive away
hostile and negative forces, Using cloves is said to ensure that your magickal intention
is realized.
Historically cloves were worth their weight in gold and could often only be afforded by
the wealthy.
Because of this, cloves are often associated with money and prosperity.
Medicinally, the benefits of clove oil are an antimicrobial, to help kill bacteria.
as a pain reliever for conditions such as toothache and muscle pain. for digestive upset.
to relieve respiratory conditions like cough and asthma.
I also added some Lemon Peel.
Lemon emits positive energy and repels negative entities.
I love adding lemon peel to my oils and spells and I always save and dry the peels when I
cook with this citrus fruit.
Used in clearing magic to break negative ties, lemon Peel is used for repelling the evil
eye and cutting unhealthy attachments to the past.
Lemon Peel is used for clearing out old attachments, romantic and otherwise, as well as for cleaning
up a current romantic relationship.
It can also be used as protection from jealous or envious people.
Lemon Peel is known to draw both Love and Friendship.
Health Benefits of lemon oil are that it fights exhaustion, helps with depression, clears
your skin, kills harmful viruses and bacteria, and reduces inflammation.
Rosemary is known for purification and protection.
Rosemary is burned to purify a room or ritual space before magickal workings.
Burn Rosemary and Juniper together to drive the staleness from a home after a long and
lingering illness.
Rosemary is useful for all spells to accelerate learning in school or work.
Sniff a sprig of Rosemary while studying to improve your performance on an exam.
Medicinally Rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which are
thought to help boost the immune system and improve blood circulation.
Rosemary is considered a cognitive stimulant and can help improve memory performance and
quality.
It is also known to boost alertness, intelligence, and focus
Eucalyptus leaves are commonly used in purification magic.
They can be burned to represent air, and cleanse a person, place or space.
The leaves are also useful in healing.
Eucalyptus naturally calms the mind and soothes irrational anxieties.
Add the essential oil to a diffuser to help clear distracting worries and renew a sense
of calm and focus.
Spiritually, eucalyptus promotes balance.
If things are feeling hectic, smelling some eucalyptus can calm the agitated mind and
help you achieve more moderation and balance in your life.
It can also be used for: bringing joy, helping to overcome blockages, and reconciling difficulties
in relationships.
Medicinally, Eucalyptus is known for its antiseptic qualities.
It is effective in fighting microorganisms that cause disease and illness.
Eucalyptus is used in many over the counter medications for coughs, colds and infections
both viral and bacterial.
I have added my dry ingredients to the master bottle so far, now is the time I add my essential
oils.
You can always substitute essential oil for dried herbs or visa versa.
Use whatever you have on hand.
I added Rosemary essential oil to add a bit more purification and stimulation to the oil
and another layer of protection
I decided to add lemon essential oil to add a boost of lemony scent and boost the lemon
peel
And I added some additional eucalyptus magic with some essential oil as well.
With all the dry ingredients and essential oils in the master bottle, it is time to fill
the rest of the master bottle with the carrier oil.
The carrier oil I am using is Olive oil.
However you could also use castor oil which is often used in blends that deal with protection
and absorbing negativity.
Coconut oil is also used for protection.
However you can use any carrier oil that you have on hand.
Two of my other favorites are sweet almond oil and grapeseed oil.
Once the master bottle is full, allow the herbs to steep inside for three or four weeks,
shaking occasionally to mix them.
Once the oil has steeped sufficiently, you can strain the herbs out of the oil using
a cheesecloth lined strainer if that is your preference.
I like to leave my herbs in the oil.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool place.
This way, it can last from a year up to 18 months.
There are a number of ways you can use four thieves' Oil.
I like to anoint tools and candles any time I am doing a healing spell.
If you are not sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients you can also use this oil
topically.
Add it to massage oil or lotions and creams.
You can also place the oil in a diffuser to scent a room, or add it to boiling or steaming
water as a steam inhalation.
Diffused thieves oil provides ambiance to a room, promotes alertness, may elevate your
mood or reduce feelings of stress or anxiety.
If you decide to make four thieves oil I hope that this video has given you some ideas for
ingredients and that you manifest the vitality and good health that you desire.
