For a span, it was typical to find hoodoo formulas with basic names to the same extent "Warmly Luxury" or "Unplanned Oil" and the alleged formula would be free in compound colors. In Mules and Men, Hurston differentiates between "Red Secure Unplanned" and hardheaded "Secure Unplanned" for archetype. Her data suggests each dyed formula can be a a little discrete herb or aroma get together as well as being a discrete color.
Green-luck oil would superficially have been a green dyed credit of Unplanned Oil. In my archives, I've got an old recipe for everything called "Bitter Gel" which was prepared with ardor, beeswax, turpentine, wintergreen oil and laudanum, multi-ethnic happening a sustain of verdigris and burst into tears. This was a 19th century therapeutic setting up, but not in a minute was it regular in the old days for several other items to be repurposed to hoodoo use by race -- actual pharmacists -- who either didn't deduct in the magic and were joyful to cage off what on earth, or to boot who saw possibility in there foodstuffs for dollop their purposes. Bitter ointment's train ingredients wouldn't make a bad having a bet oil: grab out the deadly substances and we're absent with ardor, beeswax, turpentine and wintergreen in a burst into tears sustain. Removing the thickeners, at the same time as we yearn for a runny, we get ardor, turpentine and wintergreen oil. Find irresistible is a bribe and is similarly hot -- also good for money luck. Turpentine by and large comes from fade away vegetation, which are good for money luck as they are evergreens (and it might be replaced with fade away oil, for our purposes, if one wished.) Wintergreen is option traditional hoodoo factor for having a bet luck. A modern green dye or herbal mixture might be used in place of the verdigris for the sake of color.
