Oil of Hermanubis II

I am such a big fan of this oil! I have used it multiple times to anoint myself, and after each time I feel such an instant connection to my ancestors and Akhu. I do prefer to use it at night, but I feel like any time of use will still be highly effective.

Using this oil is like turning your senses up - it gets so much easier to "see" and "hear" the dead. Have also had several spirits indicate their approval of it as an offering, which is beyond helpful.

This oil, along with other materia from the series, is extraordinarily powerful and such an effective tool for ancestor work. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I use this to anoint myself before engaging with the beloved dead and use the incense and dead drawing spray as offerings. Wise to have some Ascelpius or similar on hand as suggested.

I was a pet sitter for 10 years and had to end my business. I got this as an offering for my alter, because long before I was able to pursue my dream of being a dog walker, I built a relationship with this really powerful being. I have a million reasons why I took the write up seriously and didn’t use the oil. But, having it as an offering was enough to intermediate what I was putting to rest. Sphere and Sundry makes such exquisite offerings for the best opportunities. That said, this rolled in on the post like the dead and came up the alley like the legend of sleepy hollow and was a presence to be honored the whole time I worked with it until it was put to rest. Truly transformative.

Hermanubis oil was a complete surprise for me in its power and intensity. I wasn’t expecting such a strong connection, but from the first use, I felt a deep, visceral link to my ancestors that I had never experienced before. The energy is palpable—it’s like the presence of the dead becomes more solid, almost tangible.

This oil is POTENT. I can not overstate this enough. I read the description thoroughly before trying it but, as a magic and S+ newbie, wasn't even quite sure what a "trance" REALLY meant. I followed the recommended protocols and used this in an ancestor ritual and quickly learned what it means 😉 That said, on this first time, I had only applied a bit and was able to pull myself out of falling into a deep trance and had a wonderful, very effective ritual with my ancestors. I have used this since in ancestor rituals to wonderful effect. Definitely recommend, just heed the warnings/protocols and take it slow, especially if you're a newbie 😉

I’ve had this oil for a while now and every time I work with it, I have some sort of incredible experience or connection to my ancestors. I like to anoint my wrists a little before starting any of my genealogy research or ancestor veneration. I’ve noticed that when I use this oil while doing genealogy research, especially on ancestors or family lines that are a bit more difficult to trace, it seems like things just suddenly appear for me, and the research process is easier. It’s as if these ancestors are saying “I’m ready to be found now, here I am!” They seem to leave more breadcrumbs for me to follow when I work with this oil.
I’ve also enjoyed applying a bit before bed sometimes, and I’ve had two specific really memorable dream experiences. The very first time I used this oil, I had an incredibly vivid dream where I visited an ancient homeland and one of my maternal ancestors guided me through the process. In another experience, I received a very special message from my grandpa, who has been deceased for 10 years now. I woke up with happy tears in my eyes, just being able to hug him again, and he reminded me that he is always here for me, even when he can’t be there physically.
Highly recommend this oil for anyone who is looking to strengthen their connection with their ancestors!

I get a crazy feeling. I need a clearer framework but I know im supposed to. its really potent, you can tell by holding it or looking at it, thats why I dont keep it out. maybe writing this will get a message to the universe to show me what to do next. will report back with something more substantial. its real

I was intimidated to use this and I'm typically a pretty courageous witch, but I shouldn't have been so nervous. I have actually really enjoyed working with this and oddly **adore** the scent which I did not expect at all. The oil feels really really thick, almost viscous, and a little goes a long way. This is one that I enjoy anointing my feet with, in addition to my pulse points and heart center. I have used this to connect with beloved dead with much success. I do highly recommend smoke bathing with something really supportive after working with it and I also recommend keeping it wrapped up in a dedicated space as that really helps direct and preserve the charge.

Whenever I work with this oil, it gives me the sensation of the dead being more solid… more concretely felt. It changes my typical sensation of the dead from an energetic awareness to a very visceral presence.
