In Mexico, San Simon is dressed in the late 19th or early 20th-century black suit and tie. He is clearly a man of means, often with a cigar and bottle seated in an old-style chair. In drawings, he is sometimes shown sitting in a chair at the crossroad. Every October 28, the feast day of San Simon, thousands of pilgrims from all over Guatemala and even neighboring countries meet in San Andres Itzapa to celebrate and thank San Simon who is affectionately called "hermano Monchito." With the marimba, alcoholic drinks, and dancing the atmosphere becomes very festive. Attendees request luck in health, business, and love, while giving offerings to the images.
San Simon is invoked for destroying sorcery, for removing obstacles, for granting wealth, and for good luck.
In Catholic lore, San Simon is frequently honored with San Judas Tadeo, as they share the same feast day, Oct. 28. To honor San Simon and San Judas Tadeo together, especially on Oct. 28, light two green or white candles. As an "opener of the way," Guatemalan festivals coincide with Holy Week, culminating on Good Friday.
His weekday is on Tuesday. Offerings include hats, silk ties, silk scarves, bandanas, carnation flowers, copal incense, fresh fruit, pineapple juice, coins, sausages, bananas, Coco-Cola (the Real Thing brand), springwater, dark beer, tequila, and rum. There is a prayer accompanied by an offering of ragwort and liquor.
Oh, powerful San Simón, help me with all of my actions and with any dangers that may arise that I may need assistance. If I need help in matters of love, you will draw the one I love closer to me, if it is business, that I will be successful, if it is enemies, that you will help me to overcome them, and to keep hidden troubles away from me. I offer you your cigar, your tortilla, your liquor, and your candles if, in return you will keep me safe from any danger I may come across. (State your petition)."
What are Magickal Oils?
Magickal oils have been used for their mystical, energizing, and transformative powers for thousands of years by many cultures and religions for ritual and occult purposes. The use of magickal oil goes back to ancient times. Spanning the boundaries of culture and doctrine, their widespread popularity throughout the globe speaks to their effectiveness and strength. Today, we use these sacred oils in many of the same ways as our ancestors, harnessing powerful energy that transcends space and time.
An important use of magickal oil is to strengthen your intent for a specific task, or even strengthen your relationship with spirit. Magickal oil acts as a beacon for energy you want to attract, making it a powerful addition to any ritual or intention. You can use magickal oil as an aid or support to focus your energy throughout the day to your goals. Applying your intent with the oil helps opens the way for energy to flow towards the goal you want to achieve.
Oils are known for their spiritually-infused uplifting properties. The Conjured Saint offers a variety of magickal oils formulated for healing, consecration, protection, enhancing psychic visions, honoring Spirits and Deities, drawing love, luck and money, repelling evil, and turning back curses and the Evil Eye. Oils are an essential element to any spell, prayer, altar, or spiritual practice.
The Conjured Saint sacred oils are hand-blended formulated with ancient principles and magick, but made with purity and perfection in mind. We offer a wide selection of premium blessed oils tailored to your specific needs and desires, designed to be a spiritual application and support your individual journey and draw positive vibrations into your life.
How to Incorporate Magickal Oils into Your Practice
How you use The Conjured Saint oils depends on your spiritual background, practices, and beliefs. Designed to be versatile and aid any spiritual practice or manifestation, our oils can be applied to the body, objects of importance, or spiritual tools.
Anointing - The application of oils to the body or objects is called, “anointing.” Anointing is the perfect way to supercharge candles, talismans, and other magickal tools, because it helps draw positive energy to the object, thereby strengthening its power. When seeking to draw positivity to your work or spiritual tool, rub the oil with one hand over the object in an inward motion towards you. To dispel negative energy, rub in an outward motion. Likewise, do the same for your body. Anointing the body with oils is an excellent way to strengthen your intentions. The aroma of the oil acts to keep your desires and prayers at the forefront of your mind throughout the day. The more thought and concentration you put into your prayers, intentions, or spells, the stronger they become. “Remember intent is what drives the power of the tool”.
Offerings – Because of their pleasant and strong properties, magickal oils make the ideal offering to your favored Spirit or Deity. When using oil as an altar offering, you may pour it into a special dish and leave it on your altar, or simply uncork the bottle and leave it open. It’s always beneficial to dedicate an oil offering before presenting it to your favored Spirit or Deity.
Home Use - Magickal oils can be sprayed into the atmosphere or used to clean the home. Our oils have the ability to help change a force field. If you’ve been down on your luck or noticing low vibrations in the home, use the oils to clear away harmful psychic energy and summon light energy instead. Bring love to your sacred space, or keep love flowing, with one of our love or desire oils. Burn a bit of our money oil in a burner or in boiling water and allow its fragrance and energy to fill the home to bring good fortune. All of our oils can be used in the home for protection, cleansing, healing, or drawing positivity into your life.
Additional Usage - Oils may be added to baths and washes, to incenses, massage oils, used as bottle spells, and even combined for delivering one hell of a spiritual wallop. Let your own creativity and intuition guide you.
Keep in mind that oils will "tell on you" if you use them too liberally. Be mindful of staining papers and fabrics, and leaving slick spots on hard surfaces. A little goes a long way when it comes to using The Conjured Saint magickal oils, so you enjoy lasting benefits with every bottle.
