Hermes'
Favor (Luck) Oil
This deity, the Lord of
Chance, is one I feel especially close to, so when someone asked me for
a luck oil, I thought immediately of his influence and how it might be
transformed into a scent both he and the user would find pleasing. That
was pretty easy. I based this strongly on lavender, a scent very much
associated with this deity, but I used lavender Seville, which is not
at all like the fresh and sometimes harsh lavender we usually
encounter. Instead, it is rich and almost fruity. This fits well, I
think, with the aspect of this god that is connected to gambling--the
good side of it, anyway. I deepened that richness with the luscious
scents of labdanum and tonka bean. This oil is good for honoring Hermes
but also helps the user feel good, and when you feel good, you play
with more assurance. Should Hermes favor you, remember to show him
honor by, for instance, donating to travelers' aid societies or simply
helping someone on the road in his name. Good luck! If you are looking
for an oil specifically for honoring Hermes, check this one out.
