In order to change out or substitute one oil for another in a candle spell, you need a source of reference for the magickal properties of each oil’s herbs and essences. I am using the Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic – A Materia Magica of African-American Conjure by cat yronwode.

The John the Conqueror Root (also known as “John the Conker”) is a heady, musky, earthy root that reminds you of mossy forests and tobacco. This root, used for external uses only and never is to be ingested, is considered THE root for men to carry for strength and virility. It is considered the root to use for drawing money to you, to enhance sexual power over women and also to bring luck for gamblers. I have heard that some women use it for dominance in the workforce or home, whoen decisiions have to be made and she does not want to be viewed as some ‘premenstral b**ch’. I have also heard that some women who want to be the ‘male’ partner in a same-sex relationship might want to use this for this power.
I would not use High John the Conqueror Oil to substitute in a Revenge Candle Spell.
However, you may make up a small batch of Revenge Oil in a pinch by using a good Extra Virgin Olive Oil and adding these items:
Red Pepper, Black Peppercorns, Sulphur (break it off from a matchstick), Needles, Dead Spiders, Dead Flies, Graveyard Dirt.
