Fiery Wall of Protection Oil
I've wanted to do my own version of this oil ever since I first ran across the name years ago. Protection is the most-often requested type of magic, in my experience, so I knew that people would find it useful. After creating a Archangel Michael (Fire) protection talisman for someone, I felt like I had a much better grasp on the concept behind this oil. I started with some Fiery scents, like ginger, black pepper, allspice, and turmeric. All of these are warming and naturally purifying on the material plane and have often played a role in traditional formulations of this oil. I added a couple of Crowleyan Fire of Mars scents, rose and geranium. Citrus scents (I think it's impossible for evil to exist in the presence of lemon!) give a lot of cleanliness to the oil profile. And for a deep and powerful body, I chose Fiery olibanum and myrrh. Olibanum is much mellower than frankincense and does not have its churchy associations but it is also more closely linked with the history of magical purification, since it is a primary ingredient in Abramelin operation tools. Myrrh was used in various ancient cultures including that of Egypt and Israel to purify the dead, which indicates it is master of the Dark (and because it comes from a thorny tree, it is often considered a Mars and therefore Fire fragrance). Because of the warm ingredients like ginger and pepper, this oil might feel warm on the skin, especially if your skin is very fair. I deliberately resisted adding cinnamon for that reason. Use it for protection particularly from negative magic or for canceling a negative person's effect.
