XENIOS 

The Welcomer. An expansive, joyous, festive oil that honors the sacred act of opening one’s doors. An oil that guards travelers, blesses hosts, and keeps peace between amicable strangers. Utilize to enhance festivities, invite easy conversation, and smooth frayed bonds, and encourages goodwill, open hands, and gentle hearts. This oil rewards those who offer warmth, bread, and a place at the fire to those in need.

HERKEIOS

The Bulwark: protector of the home, the hearth, and the family. An oil for warding, anchoring, and sanctifying homes that need fortification and for protecting families (found or blood) who deserve to rest without fear.

Use to seal a space, bless a doorway, or shield your household. Wear or utilize in ritual when you need to feel rooted, watched over, and unshakably safe. May your hearth stay lit, your walls stay strong, and your loved ones remain fiercely, quietly protected.

EPIKARPIOS

The Guardian of Fruits. Under the wide, magnanimous crown of Jupiter, fruits thicken on the branch and ambitions grow fat with promise. Epikarpios is the old name whispered to the orchards, the title given to the god who watches every seed, every plan, every hidden hope and coaxes them toward sweetness. Utilize in ritual to enhance personal growth that unfurls like hearty vines, financial growth that roots deep and rises strong, and success that ripens heavy in the hand, and to enforce your sovereign right to thrive with your hard-won harvest.
