Ritual oils have long held a sacred place in spiritual practices across cultures. These potent blends of herbs, flowers, and essential oils are more than just aromatic—they’re spiritual tools infused with energy and intention. Learning to anoint with purpose can deepen your connection to your rituals and help manifest your desires more powerfully.
What Is Anointing?
To anoint means to apply oil with intention—blessing an object, space, or part of the body for spiritual purpose. It’s a sacred act, a physical expression of your inner will. When you anoint with ritual oils, you’re not just applying fragrance; you’re channeling energy, focus, and sacred power into your work.
1. Anointing the Body
Anointing yourself is a beautiful way to carry your intention with you throughout the day.
-
Third Eye: Use oils like frankincense or lavender to awaken intuition during meditation or divination.
-
Wrists & Heart: Apply love or protection oil here to carry those energies with you into the world.
-
Feet or Crown: Anchor yourself with grounding oils, or open up spiritually with higher vibrational blends.
When applying, say your intention aloud or silently:
"I anoint myself with peace, clarity, and divine protection."
2. Anointing Candles
Candles are powerful conduits of energy. Anointing them with oil enhances their magic.
-
Rub oil from the center of the candle outward for drawing in (love, money, success).
-
Rub from the top to bottom for banishing (negativity, blocks, bad habits).
Be sure to choose oils that correspond with your goal—Love Spell Oil for attraction, Banishing Oil for release, Money Oil for prosperity. As you anoint, visualize your intention igniting with the flame.
3. Anointing Tools and Talismans
Consecrate ritual tools, crystals, jewelry, or spell jars with oil to empower them.
-
Dab a small amount on a pendulum to connect with clearer answers.
-
Bless an amulet or charm to charge it with protective energy.
-
Use a drop on your altar space to maintain a sacred vibration.
4. Incorporating into Daily Routines
Ritual doesn’t need to be elaborate. Infuse magic into daily habits:
-
Add a drop to your bath for a spiritual soak.
-
Rub a bit into your journal cover to bless your manifestations.
-
Use oil in a diffuser while you meditate or pray.
The key is intention. The moment you pause and apply with purpose, your mundane becomes magical.
Final Thoughts
Anointing with ritual oils is a simple yet powerful way to blend the physical and the spiritual. Whether you're dressing a candle, preparing your space, or blessing yourself for the day ahead, each drop is an invitation for divine energy to flow into your life.
The oils you choose become allies—working with your energy, magnifying your purpose, and helping you stay aligned. With every anointing, you affirm your path, your power, and your sacred presence.
