Hekate Meisopomenos is an epithet of the Goddess of Witchcraft presiding over the movement of the Moon; its waxing, its waning, and its nightly visitations to its twenty-and-eight lovers. Meisopomenos does not represent the Moon itself, but rather the force which guides it through the night sky — not when it comes to its rise and set, but rather to its ever-shifting position in relation to the Stars, as the months and seasons turn.
Each night, the Moon is drawn by a yoke of bulls to the Mansion of one of its lovers, the Gods whose domicile is that of the Stars marking the signs of the Zodiac. There, she makes love to them and, for one night only, gives birth to the ephemeral body of their servants who, in turn, use the body of their mother as a stepping stone placed upon the great starry pond which separates their home and the realm of Man. Meisopomenos, as midwife, eases the delivery and ensures the health of the child so that it may complete its mission — to serve as the emissary of its parent, delivering the influence of its Mansion to the children of men.
Meisopomenos is aided in this task by Jibrail, the Angel of the Moon, from beneath whose robes appear twenty-eight peacock feathers. Within their eyes reside the twenty-eight Stars with whom the Moon lays each night. Thus, the robes of Jibrail are at once the tapestry of the night sky upon which is mapped the course of the Moon, as well as the veil which covers her lovers’ abodes. Jibrail, as Messenger, is the first to announce the coming of the child engendered by the Moon and its suitors, and the one who allows it to have voice.
The oil of Hekate Meisopomenos is one which captures the pneumas of these spirits within itself, serving as spark, fuel, flame, smoke, and ash to their works. Within, twenty-eight ingredients of the animal, herbal, mineral, Ouranic, Chthonic, and Einalian realms.

Blessed and cursed beneath the fluids of the Moon’s union with each of her lovers, the oil was not let to see the Sun during the time of its gestation. Birthed once beneath the gaze of witches and sorcerers, birthed twice under the hands of Hekate and Jibrail, birthed thrice below the Plow.
In the witch’s craft, Labourer of the Moon serves as an oil of potency and of borrowed authority, as beacon and shackle to those spirits descending from the Lunar Mansions. Usurping the power of the Sorceress and of the Messenger, Labourer of the Moon is used in all Lunar operations as they pertain to the Moon-Manses, their talismans, their spirits, and their spells. It fixes the spirit conjured in such a way that it is guided to the work and captured as its animating force, unable to dissipate in the morning Sun as it otherwise would. Whether the fixing of its ephemeral quality is a blessing or a curse depends on the one who wields this oil.
In practice, a drop of this oil will empower and multiply the power of any and all talisman or working of the Lunar Mansions, while also causing their effects to last longer, and to act faster. With observance, the oil will allow the witch to enter into relationship with the spirits of the Mansions, known and unknown, and to learn the ways in which their names must be spoken to sorcerous effect. It also allows to forego the use of talismans as primary point of contact to these spirits, allowing the witch to incorporate them into simpler, dirtier, or more inspired magics than those prescribed by the bounds of traditional works.
Each bottle is accompanied by a document detailing the names, images, stars, herbs, and dominions of the Lunar Mansions as they appear in my personal work, for ease of reference and incorporation into one’s own craft.
