How to Make Conjure & Wiccan Oils with Essential Oils

Conjure and Wiccan oils are made by blending essential oils, herbs, roots, and crystals into a carrier oil such as almond or olive oil, with each ingredient chosen for the magical property that matches your intention. For love, work with jasmine, rose, or ylang-ylang; for prosperity, reach for cedarwood, cinnamon, or bergamot; for protection and cleansing, use frankincense, eucalyptus, or myrrh. You can combine several essential oils in one blend to boost both potency and aroma. Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before use, and consult a healthcare provider if you are pregnant.

In our previous post, How to Make Conjure Oils: Choosing the Right Carrier Oil, we discussed the process of making spiritual oils and the significance of working with specific carrier oils. If you're new to this practice, start with what conjure oils are and how to use them before diving into blends. Today, we're going to elaborate on this process and take a deep dive into the power of essential oils and how they can enhance blends that align with your intentions.

What Are Essential Oils and How Are They Used in Magic?

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts created through a distillation process, or through a cold-press method where the juice or essence is squeezed from the plant material. They're a wonderful staple ingredient for any type of spiritual oil and are common in both conjure oils and Wiccan Oils. The process involves blending essential oils with other materials, such as herbs, roots, and/or crystals, mixed into a carrier oil. Each ingredient is added based on its spiritual or magical properties, and the mix varies depending on the practitioner's specific intention and goal.

How to Choose and Blend Essential Oils for Your Intention

When making any type of conjure oil or Wiccan oil, it's important to choose an essential oil that aligns with your desired intention. For love and attraction oils, you may want to work with jasmine, rose, or ylang-ylang. For prosperity, reach for cedar, cinnamon, or bergamot. For protection and cleansing oils, frankincense, eucalyptus, and myrrh are traditional choices. Keep in mind that you can use more than one essential oil in your blends — our Wiccan Oils typically include an array of essential oils, which not only enhances their efficacy but also gives them a wonderful aroma. If you're just getting started, our guide to ritual oils for the beginning practitioner walks through how to put these blends to use.

Essential Oil Safety, Dilution, and Carrier Oils

It's important to note that using essential oils does require caution. Always dilute your oils into a proper carrier oil — see our guide to choosing the right carrier oil for help picking the right one for your blend. This is particularly important for anyone who wishes to apply oils to the skin. Pregnant women should always consult their healthcare provider prior to handling essential oils, as some can be problematic when used during pregnancy.

What are conjure and Wiccan oils made of? Conjure and Wiccan oils are blends of essential oils, herbs, roots, resins, and sometimes crystals mixed into a carrier oil such as almond or olive oil. Each ingredient is chosen for its magical or spiritual property, and the exact mix changes with the practitioner's intention, whether that is love, prosperity, protection, or cleansing.

How do I choose an essential oil for my intention? Match the oil's magical association to your goal. For love use jasmine, rose, or ylang-ylang. For prosperity use cedarwood, cinnamon, or bergamot.

A common love-drawing mix combines rose with jasmine and vanilla, while ylang-ylang with jasmine and cardamom makes an all-purpose seduction blend.
