Annointing

To anoint is to pour or smear with perfumed oil, or other substances, a process employed ritually by many religions and races. People and things are anointed to symbolize the introduction of a sacramental or divine influence, a holy emanation, spirit, power or god. It can also be seen as a spiritual mode of ridding persons and things of dangerous influences.

Use of Anointing Oils for Magickal Purposes:

Tune in to your surroundings. Choose an oil that attunes you to your ritual, Sabbat, deities or spells. To attune with a group, dab anointing oil on those around you so that your energies attune to each other.

Bless or consecrate people and objects using your anointing oil. Anoint the person or the object with the oil while saying your consecrating prayer or blessing.

Attract money with anointing oils. Select oils with money-attracting properties to enhance any prosperity magic or rituals you do.
Wear anointing oil with protection properties. Choose an oil based on whether you want to banish negative energies or you want general, overall protection.

Choose anointing oils with beneficial scents. Anointing oils provide the health benefits associated with aromatherapy. Decide the health benefit you want to achieve. Then, pick a corresponding oil.
Use anointing oils to enhance the atmosphere of whatever you\'re doing. In this way, you bring some magic into your everyday life.

Candles: Bless the anointing oil to be used, appropriate to ritual. State and engrave (if you wish) what the candle is to represent. Anoint the candle with oil and focus on desire (purpose of ritual).

For ritual of achievement: anoint oil from the top of the candle to the middle in a downward motion, then from the bottom of the candle to the middle in an upward motion.

For ritual of banishment: anoint oil from the middle of the candle to the top in an upwards motion and then from the middle to the bottom of the candle in a downwards motion.

Anointing oils are for external use only. If you have sensitive skin, test the oil on a small patch of skin before using it. Always get the permission of people who you are working with before anointing them with oil.
