Thirteen is a powerfully occult number, which my 13 oil captures with thirteen ingredients, made on the thirteenth day in the thirteenth hour.

For both 13 and 7 oil, I use the equal hours of the day, with the start of the day being sunrise. (Planetary blends use a different way of counting time.) Therefore, 13 is easy to make after dark, even in my sunny, warm day climes, e.g. I don’t make it during the bright time of year. Really, at the time I invented it, I had no good idea what people would use it for, but I was strongly compelled to compose a potion that would reflect the occult powers of this favorite (un)lucky number. It has been used to bring the power of a full coven of thirteen witches to a working, even if you are practicing alone.

13 oil contains some of the spookier, more occult essential oils, so it could be used for calling spirits, holding Seances, or working the Ouija board. It could also be used similarly to “Controlling” oils. Use it on purple candles, especially purple skull candles, for this purpose.
