Smite the Patriarchy Oil - Limited Edition

Smite the Patriarchy oil has been several years in the making, in part because it took this long to gather the materials and in part because my life has been something of a mess, in a number of ways a sort of microcosm reflecting many of the themes that the United States as a whole is experiencing right now, from gaslighting and unpredictable tantrums, to whataboutism and firehoses of fallacies as default rhetorical strategies, to being commanded to not just accept but to actually appreciate the abuse. It basically took me this long to find the place to stand from which I could do the proper Work to create this oil.

On the (comparatively) mundane side, this meant brainstorming with other practitioners on ingredients and development, and its formulation has definitely been a group effort, with contributions coming in from far and wide. These include coppermouth bones, a black widow spider, hammerhead worms, devil's shoestring, a red velvet ant, orb-weaver web, wild allium, couch grass, and poppy seed, among other ingredients.

Less visible is the discernment, divination, and ritual development this has involved, all of which has led to my finally being sure the time for this is right now. I'll try to sketch the major components (and I'm happy to answer questions if you have them - if I read this, I would definitely have some!)
