10 Dollar Oil

This is my own rendition of the traditional Cleo May Oil – specifically
geared toward the protection and proper payment of sex workers. It packs a
little more thorn to match the typical rose that is Cleo May Oil. While I am
not a sex-worker myself, I have known a few and have the utmost respect for
their line of work. Why shouldn’t I? – I practice the world’s oldest “religion”
and they the world’s oldest profession.

Ingredients

  • Licorice Root
  • Brown Sugar
  • (1) Cinnamon stick
  • (2) Vanilla Beans (whole)
  • (7) Rose petals – red, dried
  • (3) Iron Nails
  • Perfume – of your choosing, or the one you most often wear
  • Jezebel Root – optional, but highly recommended
  • Heart of a Plum – plum pit

Additional Supplies

  • Bottle – wide-mouth to accommodate the plum pit
  • Red String
  • Black String
  • Oil – 1: 4, Castor:Carrier

Recipe

To the bottle, add licorice root, Jezebel root, Heart of
Plum and brown sugar to your bottle. Gather your cinnamon stick and vanilla
pods and tie them around (3) times with the red string – knot. Add this to the
bottle. Gather your nails and tie them around in the same fashion with the
black string and place them in the bottle “point” up. Warm the oil along with
the rose petals on the stove-top and pour into the bottle over the other
ingredients. Cap, and seal with red or black wax. Dress the bottle in perfume
and –  

For sex workers: Let the bottle “steep” on a bed of cash
paid to you by clients for at least a week. At which point, it can be used on
the neck and wrists to garner protection, added funds and draw in more clients.

For other uses, such as power-over-men and love: Store under
the bed for at least a week, it can then be adorned on the pulse points or used
to dress a gris gris/mojo bag.

This is also great for women who work for tips: such as
waitresses, bartenders, etc.

And then, of course, rituals, assorted charms and MAYBE my tarot deck! The last of which depends on the demand.

Whore of Babylon Oil

image

A condition/formula oil used to garner favor by shamelessly utilizing your own wiles – both natural and added. 

In a sense, it is a mean by which to climb any metaphorical ladder or obtain dominion over a person or a group of people.

In this aspect, it is similar to Bend Over Oil or Commanding Oil. But it doubles for its ability to conjure lust – as a means by which to gain this power. 

Shamelessly, of course.

As an ode to Revelations’ portrayal of Rome (or Jerusalem – depending on who you ask), the Whore of Babylon is portrayed riding atop a beast with 7 heads – which draws immediate tethers in my mind to Pomba Gira at this point. Thusly I concocted this oil in accordance to the “7 heads” of the beast, incorporating 7 elements/ingredients to the formula.

  • Anise Seed (not star anise)
  • Licorice Root
  • Calamus Root *
  • Thorny Rose Stems
  • Half-Stick Candle**
  • Black Pepper
  • (7x) Knotted Red Ribbon

In a carrier oil heat any crushed or powdered herbs over low heat until it becomes fragrant – at which point remove and allow to cool until safe enough to tolerate (should any hot oil get frisky).

To your bottle (amber or red is better, but not wholly necessary) add sticks, stems, roots and curios – those being Licorice Root, Calamus Root (if not powdered), Rose Stems, Half-Stick Candle and Knotted Ribbon. Obviously, be careful with the sharp bits – though blood may very well be beneficial – as it often is.

Add to this your warm oil, cork and allow to steep for a least one week before use.

Feel free to adjust the ratios of ingredients until they feel right to you.

Notes:
* An alternative to calamus root (in this particular oil, not in general) is to lightly spritz candied ginger with water or white vinegar and dust with cinnamon powder, then dried in the oven on very low heat.
** A Half-Stick Candle is what I call a small candle (like a chime) that has been formed of two halved candles. Here you would want half black and half red – the order of which is unimportant. Simply halve one red and one black chime candle replace the length with the opposite color and bind the halves together with heat. Ex: x = black, o = red; xxxx|oooo
