Van Van Oil

Van Van Oil is a traditional New Orleans Hoodoo formula used to clear away bad luck, crossed conditions, and spiritual residue, then turn the situation toward luck, protection, success, and open roads. Reach for it when circumstances feel stuck, plans keep going wrong, or you need to clear the old condition before beginning something new.

All Van Van products are made by Michelle here at Smudge. A portion of your purchase goes to support our local Hiatus House.

Van Van is especially useful for changing the tone around a home, business, journey, job search, money matter, or personal working. It can be used to dress candles, anoint petitions and talismans, feed mojo bags, or strengthen floor washes and spiritual-cleansing preparations.

• Clear bad luck and crossed conditions
• Open roads and remove obstacles
• Turn a difficult situation in a better direction
• Draw luck, success, opportunity, and favourable outcomes
• Protect the home, business, personal belongings, and ritual space
• Dress candles, petitions, mojo bags, charms, and talismans

How to Use

For candle work: Apply a small amount to your fingertips and lightly dress a white candle for cleansing and protection or a green candle for luck, money, and opportunity. Keep oil away from the wick and flame.

For petitions: Anoint the four corners of a petition paper. If drawing luck or opportunity, move toward the centre. Fold the paper toward yourself and place it beneath a candle, carry it with you, or add it to a mojo bag.

For mojo bags and talismans: Add a small amount to feed a luck, protection, success, or road-opening hand. A little oil is enough; do not saturate fabric or paper.

For a floor wash: Add a few drops to prepared wash water. Clean from the back of the space toward the front door while praying for bad luck and obstacles to leave. Finish at the threshold and ask for clear roads, protection, and better opportunities to enter.

Size: 10 ml glass dropper bottle.
