Few roots carry the dark glamour of the mandrake, the forked, man-shaped root wrapped in centuries of witch-lore, protection, and the opening of hidden sight. Mandrake Oil draws on that storied reputation, a blended fragrance oil for protection, spirit work, and deep ritual, made for dressing candles, anointing tools, and marking the workings where you reach into the hidden currents. This Mandrake Oil by Espiritu carries the root's old, potent name into hands-on practice.
This 16 ounce bottle is the practitioner size, a generous supply for those who do protective and spirit work often, dress many candles, or keep a steady altar through a long season of practice. Dress a candle to guard your space and deepen your workings, anoint a ritual tool, or mark a petition for protection and clear sight. The oil carries the intention; the power you raise is your own.

Ingredients

The Spiritual Significance
The mandrake is one of the most legend-laden plants in all of magic. Its forked root, said to resemble a human figure, made it the stuff of grimoires and folk tales for centuries, prized as a powerful protective charm and a root of deep magical force. In Scott Cunningham's herbal it is ruled by Mercury and the element of Fire, and counted among the herbs of protection, fertility, money, love, and health, while the wider witching tradition has long turned to it for trance, spirit work, and the opening of the hidden senses.
An oil named for mandrake carries that potent, shadowed reputation. Dress and burn a candle to guard your space and deepen your workings, anoint a ritual tool or talisman, or mark a petition for protection and clear sight. The true mandrake root is toxic and is never ingested; this is a fragrance blend for ritual anointing, not the plant itself. As with all conjure, the oil focuses your intention; the power you raise is your own. It draws on folk herb-lore in the Wiccan and eclectic tradition.
