Occhio Chiuso, meaning “Closed Eye,” is a spelled anointing oil created for protection from and removal of the malocchio (evil eye)—envy, ill intent, and unwanted or lingering attention.
In Sicilian folk belief, the power of the malocchio lies in the gaze itself. To close the eye is to end its reach, withdraw its fixation, and neutralize its influence. This oil is named Occhio Chiuso to reflect that intention: the eye is closed, the crossing undone, the attention broken.
This oil is rooted in my personal Sicilian folk magic tradition, drawing from household protections, botanical knowledge, and spiritual practices historically used throughout Southern Italy. It is crafted on an olive oil base, long regarded in Sicilian culture as both a sacred and protective medium.
The oil is dressed with rue, rosemary, basil, and fennel—herbs traditionally associated with warding, cleansing, reversal, and breaking the malocchio. Lemon and orange peel are included both physically and symbolically; citrus has long been used in Sicilian folk practice to cut through envy, cleanse crossed conditions, and restore vitality and clarity. Additional protective botanicals are incorporated to reinforce energetic boundaries.
Each bottle contains a removable evil eye charm that has been included in the working as part of the protective preparation. The charm may be removed and worn on a bracelet, necklace, keychain, or charm holder, allowing you to carry the protective symbolism with you after the oil has been received or used.
Each batch is ritually prepared and intentionally spelled, designed for personal anointing, candle dressing, charm work, or spiritual maintenance when protection and clearing are needed.
The scent of Occhio Chiuso is intentionally bright and citrus-forward, reflecting the folk belief that light, living scents help dispel fixation and stagnation.
Notes of lemon, orange, and bergamot open the oil with clarity and freshness, echoing the protective role of citrus in Sicilian tradition. These are softened and grounded with vanilla, tonka bean, and a subtle honeyed warmth, creating a balanced, wearable scent that feels uplifting without being sharp.
Supporting essential oils traditionally associated with cleansing and protection—sweet orange, lemon, clove, and mint—reinforce the oil’s spiritual purpose, aiding in clearing residual energy and restoring balance.
This is not intended as a conventional perfume, but as a ritual scent meant to sit close to the skin, quiet and protective.
Apply sparingly to the wrists, neck, ankles, or other ritual points. May also be used to dress candles, charms, tools, or personal items. Intended for spiritual and ritual use.
