Horned God Oil by Espiritu, 2 Dram

In Wicca, the Horned God is the masculine face of the divine, lord of the wild wood, the hunt, and the turning cycle of life, death, and rebirth, the consort and equal of the Goddess. Horned God Oil is a devotional anointing oil for honoring him, a blended fragrance oil for those who call on his wild vitality, grounding strength, and protective power. This Horned God Oil by Espiritu is made for dressing candles, anointing tools and images, and marking the rites where you honor the god of the green world.

This 2 dram bottle is a sampler devotional size, the right amount to meet him in practice and dress a candle or two without committing to a larger bottle. Dress a candle as you call on his strength and vitality, anoint a ritual tool or image, or mark yourself, diluted, as you step into his rites. The oil carries the intention; the devotion is yours.

The Spiritual Significance

The Horned God is one of the two central deities of modern Wicca, the masculine divine principle who stands beside the Goddess. He is a god of the forest and wild animals, of the hunt, of male vitality, and of the great cycle by which life is born, dies, and is reborn with the turning year. As he is honored today he is a modern synthesis, drawing together older horned figures such as the Celtic Cernunnos and the Greek Pan into a single devotional image; his worship in this form took shape with the Wiccan revival of the twentieth century.

A devotional oil offered to him brings that reverence into hands-on practice. Dress and burn a candle as you call on his strength and vitality, anoint a ritual tool, antler, or image on your altar, or mark yourself, diluted, as you step into his rites. He is honored especially at the sabbats that trace his journey through the year. Approach him with respect, and let your own path with him guide the work. The oil is an offering and a focus; the devotion is the heart of it.

How To Use Horned God Oil

1. Center in devotion. Greet the god and settle your intention before you begin.
2. Dress a candle. Touch a few drops to a green, brown, or gold candle and burn it safely, never left unattended.
3. Anoint a tool or image. Mark an antler, staff, or statue as an act of devotion.
4. Mark yourself, diluted. Touch a diluted trace to yourself as you enter his rites.
5. Honor the turning year. Mark the sabbats with it, and store the oil cool and dark.
