Snake Oil - Traditional Protection & Strength Formula

Product Type: Condition Oil Size: 1 oz glass bottle Base: Jojoba oil with steeped herbs (this is NOT a vegan oil)

Description

Snake Oil represents one of hoodoo's most formidable protective formulas, combining four powerful snake-themed roots revered in traditional conjure practice. This authentic blend features Black Cohosh (Black Snake Root), Sampson Snake Root (Echinacea), Rattlesnake Master Root, and the increasingly rare Virginia Snake Root, each contributing its own folkloric reputation to create a comprehensive working oil. The mother bottle contains ethically obtained Rattlesnake materia.

In African-American folk magic tradition, snake roots have long been valued for their association with strength, cunning, and protective power. This formula honors those historical practices, creating an oil suitable for multiple traditional applications from personal empowerment to household protection.

Traditional Folkloric Uses

Protection Work Historically used to create spiritual barriers against negative influences, unwanted attention, and harmful intentions. Traditional practitioners applied this type of formula to doorways, carried anointed roots as talismans, or added it to protective baths and floor washes.

Strength & Mastery The combination of roots in this formula reflects folk traditions around personal empowerment, gaining respect, and asserting one's will in challenging situations. Sampson Snake Root, named for the Biblical strongman, carries particular reputation for conferring strength and the ability to overcome obstacles.

Success & Favor Within conjure tradition, snake root formulas have been used when seeking advantage in competitive situations, legal matters, and business dealings. Practitioners have carried anointed roots or dressed mojo bags with similar oils when needing to command respect or open doors.
