Creating “anointing oil,” also known as blessing or consecrating oil, is a ceremonial act that turns standard oil into a great spiritual symbol and tool.
Here are some VERY special recipes for you to try!
Anointing Oil #1
5 drops Sandalwood
3 drops Cedar wood
1 drop Orange
1 drop Lemon
Mix with 4 oz. of carrier oil. Use for general ritual anointing purposes. Recipe is for 12 or
more uses.
Anointing Oil #2
5 drops Myrrh
2 drops Cinnamon
Mix with 4 oz. of carrier oil. Recipe is for 12 uses or more.
Anointing Oil #3
5 parts Frankincense
5 parts Cedar wood
4 parts Sandalwood
2 parts Myrrh
Add to 4 oz. carrier oil. Add a tiny Amethyst crystal to the bottle Used to bless candles
before a ritual. Working outwards, coat the entire candle with oil from the middle to
each end, while visualizing your magical intent. For purification & cleansing, use to wipe
down your altar or ritual area. (Spellwork- use on candles; add to incense; in
purification bath water).
Anointing Oil #4
3 drops Patchouli
2 drops Cinnamon
1 drops Verbena
Add to 2 oz. carrier oil.
Anointing Oil #5
Take a glazed pan half full of grease or olive oil. Put in sweet mint leaves bruised (or
whatever you like).
Place pan in hot water bath. Stir occasionally. After four or five hours pour into linen
bag and squeeze grease through into pot again and fill with fresh leaves. Some people
even use coffee filters or paper towels in a pasta strainer to filter. Repeat until grease is
strongly scented.
Do same with marjoram, thyme and pounded dried patchouli leaves. When strongly
scented, mix all the greases together and keep in a well sealed jar.
Anointing Oil for Candles
1 cup rose petals
1 cup violets 1 cup water 1 cup olive oil 1 tbsp clove oil
2 teaspoons powdered cinnamon
1 tablespoon powdered myrrh
1/4 cup wild fennel seeds
Gather rose petals and violets at sunrise. Place them in a clean ceramic crock.
Cover with water (fresh rain water, preferably) and let crock sit in a sunny location for
three days until an oily film (the essential oil of the flowers) is seen floating on top of the
water.
Remove oil from water by carefully absorbing it into a small cotton ball.
Squeeze out oil into a clean, long-necked glass bottle. Add olive and clove oils, and swirl
gently in a clockwise direction to slowly agitate oils. Next, add cinnamon, myrrh, and
fennel seeds.
Seal bottle tightly and store it in a dark, cool place.
After four weeks, strain through cheesecloth and use to anoint candles.
