Using Oils

Ritual application of oil to a person or an object is an almost universal practice in the history of religions, although both the steps and oils used and meanings ascribed to ritual anointments vary by spiritual paths. It is an ancient practice that has been revived in modern paganism.

The medicine person or sage of a tribe was both a physician and spiritual leader. In ritual anointing, this conjunction of religion and medicine is clear. Anointment applies the power of natural forces to the sick and those seeking change in life, partnering with herbal allies to enhance and empower these experiences.

Anointing ceremonies have been used for blessings, consecration, and initiations and can be an integral part of a spellcasting ritual.

Using anointing oils

There is a fallacy that oils can be purchased and used as is from the shelf. The power of the blends comes through ceremony and in elevating the oil from a mundane to a sacred tool. Only then are the energies of the blend activated and the herbal spirit allies called.

The oil should be used with clear intent. A simple anointing ceremony is outlined below.

Simple Anointing Ceremony

Create sacred space before you begin.
Focus on your intent – what is your ceremony about? Are you blessing a person or object? Are you empowering or consecrating a tool?
For objects: Once the intent is clear, pick up the oil and apply it to the object. Keep focusing on your goal, and as you rub the oil on your tool, visualize your intent imprinting on it.
For People: Once the intent is clear, pick up the oil and apply it to the person (or yourself) in key places in the body—the center of the forehead, the center of the chest, wrists, and ankles.

Once anointed, sit with the person or object for as long as needed to feel the energies imprinting on them. You may burn some incense during this time or say your blessings.
Close your circle and release your sacred space
Your Ceremony is complete!

Anointing Ceremony for Body Love

This is a simple anointing ceremony for body love. This is a beautiful ceremony to perform when working with body image issues. I would like to have this ceremony after a shower or bath.

You will need the following:

Pink Candle
Your Rosa Oil
A Mirror (full lenght if possible)

The Ceremony:

This ceremony can done on any moon phase, but I generally enjoy it on the waning crescent moon phase.
Call in your sacred space as you usually do.
You will need to be naked for this ceremony and have the mirror be in front of you.
Charge your candle with your intent, in this case, your love for your physical body. If you are unsure how to do that, check out this article by Raven.
Light your candle, close your eyes and feel your heart fill with love.
Look at your reflection as it if were a diifferent person. Take a good look. Pay attention to the details.
Visualize your reflection as your best friend or someone who love and care for deeply.
Begin with your feet, take a little bit of oil and anoint both feet. Lift your feet up to the mirror, and look at the feet of the reflection. Say one positive thing about their feet. It can be something elaborate or something simple such as “your joints are strong and support your every step.”
Once done with the feet move up to the calves and repeat the process. Always anoint the body part, then look at it in the mirror and say something nice to the person in the mirror.
If you struggle with self-image issues, this may take you some time. You want to focus on the positive things about the image not the things you don’t like about it. This is not a time to change things, but it is a celebration of the what you already have.
It is important to take as long as needed for this ceremony. Do not rush the process!
When you have completed the process, not only will you smell amazing, but your skin will feel soft and dewey. You do not need a lot of oil for this ceremony – a little goes a long way.
Let your candle burn all the way down.
Keep the oil on you until the next day. I love doing this ceremony before bed, and going to sleep and feel the oil working on me overnight!
This is a great ceremony to perform once a month!
