San Simón Conjure Oil

The Favor, Protection & Blessings of Hermano San Simón

Some saints are approached with folded hands and whispered prayers. Others are approached with a glass of liquor, a lit candle, a good cigar, and a promise that will not be forgotten.

Hermano San Simón, also known as Brother Saint Simon or Maximón, belongs to the latter tradition.

For generations, devotees throughout Guatemala and Central America have sought the assistance of this mysterious and powerful folk saint. Neither entirely saint nor simply spirit, San Simón occupies a peculiar place in the world of folk devotion. He is known as a friend to ordinary people, a patron of those facing difficult circumstances, and an intercessor who understands that the troubles of this world are seldom solved by prayer alone.

People come to him for money when their pockets are empty, employment when doors have been closed, protection when enemies gather, and good fortune when life has dealt them a particularly difficult hand. His devotees know him as a figure who appreciates respect, offerings, and the keeping of promises.

San Simón Conjure Oil is prepared for those who wish to petition Hermano San Simón and seek his assistance in the affairs of everyday life.

Unlike a simple blessing oil, this preparation is intended for devotional and petition work. It may be used to dress candles, anoint written petitions, prepare offerings, and accompany prayers directed to Brother Saint Simon. Whether you seek protection for your household, relief from financial hardship, favorable employment, or a change in stubborn circumstances, this oil provides a means of incorporating his devotion into your conjure practice.

Working with San Simón

San Simón is traditionally approached with offerings that may include tobacco, liquor, candles, and other gifts appropriate to the devotee's particular tradition. Those who seek his assistance often maintain a dedicated space for him, presenting their petitions with respect and acknowledging favors received.

Our San Simón Conjure Oil may be used with candles of different colors according to the nature of your petition:

• Green Candle — Money & Prosperity: Dress a green candle when asking for financial assistance, increased income, profitable business, relief from money troubles, or opportunities to improve your material circumstances.

• Blue Candle — Good Luck & Employment: Use a blue candle when petitioning for favorable employment, successful job interviews, better working conditions, good fortune, and the opening of opportunities.

A Simple Petition to Brother Saint Simon

Place a candle of the appropriate color before an image or representation of San Simón. Write your petition plainly, stating exactly what assistance you seek. Dress the candle with San Simón Conjure Oil, keeping your attention upon the matter at hand.

If it is part of your devotional practice, accompany the candle with an offering of tobacco, liquor, bandanas or another gift associated with his traditions. He appreciates simple offerings. Speak to San Simón respectfully and directly. Tell him what troubles you, what you need corrected, and what you are asking him to do on your behalf.

When your petition has been answered, remember your gratitude. The relationship between San Simón and his devotees has long been understood as one of mutual acknowledgment, respect, and the honoring of promises.

For those who honor Hermano San Simón, this conjure oil is a dedicated preparation for petition, protection, prosperity, and the pursuit of better fortune.
