Dark Arts Oil—Cursing An Enemy.
To create this powerful oil, you will need the following ingredients:
Black dog hair,
Mullein, which is also called Vandal root,
Devil pod,
and graveyard dirt.
Magickal oils are an essential part of witchcraft and ritual work. They are valued for their mystical, energizing, and transformative qualities. For thousands of years, people from many cultures—such as those in ancient Egypt and rural Europe—have made and used these oils for both spiritual and practical reasons.
The long history of magickal oils shows how effective and respected they are among practitioners. In the past, wise women, cunning folk, and shamans would make these oils by infusing a base oil with herbs, roots, resins, and sometimes animal ingredients.
Each ingredient was chosen for its special energy. For example, black dog hair is linked to protection and the ability to move between worlds. Mullein, or Vandal root, is used to drive away negativity and protect against evil spirits. Devil pod, a rare seed from water plants, is believed to trap harmful energies. Graveyard dirt is often used to connect with ancestors or to ground a curse in the physical world.
Today, modern witches continue these ancient traditions, adapting them to fit their own needs and intentions. Magickal oils are used to strengthen spells, consecrate ritual tools, or create protective barriers.
For example, you might use a Dark Arts oil to anoint a black candle during a banishing ritual, or to dress a poppet that represents an enemy. This helps to focus and amplify the purpose of your spell. Some people add a few drops of the oil to a sachet or charm bag, or use it to mark doorways and windows for spiritual protection.
Making magickal oil is a ritual in itself. It is often done during certain phases of the moon or under specific astrological signs to make the oil more powerful. The practitioner keeps their intention clear throughout the process, turning simple ingredients into a tool for energy work.
This act transforms the oil into a vessel for the energy you want to attract or repel. Whether you use magickal oils for cursing, protection, love, or prosperity, they are a flexible and powerful part of a witch’s practice.
These oils, filled with spiritual energy, can help you uplift, shield, or direct energy. They support you in manifesting your desires and navigating the unseen forces of the magical world.
