Ingredients
This is a proprietary condition-oil blend, and the maker does not publish its full composition. If a specific ingredient or allergen matters to you, contact us before ordering, and test a small spot of skin before touching it to your hands.
The Spiritual Significance
Commanding formulas come out of Hoodoo, the African American folk magic tradition of the American South. In Hoodoo, commanding work is traditionally built around licorice root and calamus root, two roots associated with dominating and compelling others, though this maker does not say which ingredients its blend contains.
Commanding oil is used when a practitioner wants to be heard and obeyed in a specific situation, such as a job, a household, or a negotiation. It is often worked alongside a petition naming the person and exactly what the practitioner wants from them.
Step by step
How To Use Commanding Oil
- Start with a petition. Write the person's full name, then write your command across it, such as the decision or action you want from them.
- Next, dress a candle with the oil. Purple and red are traditional colors for commanding work. Rub a few drops of oil from the wick down toward the base while stating your command aloud.
- Then burn the candle on the petition. Set the candle on the folded petition and let it burn safely, never unattended.
- Anoint your hands before the meeting. Before you see the person, touch a trace of oil to your palms after testing a small spot of skin first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is commanding oil used for?
Commanding oil is used to strengthen personal power and to have others follow your wishes. Practitioners dress candles and petitions with it and anoint their hands before speaking with the person they want to influence.
What is the difference between commanding oil and controlling oil?
The two are closely related and often used together. Practitioners tend to use commanding oil for direct orders in a specific moment, and controlling oil for steady influence over a person or situation over time.
What color candle goes with commanding oil?
Purple is the traditional color for power and commanding work, and red is also used. Some practitioners use a figure candle that represents the person they want to influence.
Can I wear commanding oil on my skin?
It is sold as a ritual oil, not a cosmetic. Test a small spot first, use only a trace on your palms, keep it away from eyes and lips, and never ingest it.
