Oils & Anointing
Making simple ritual oils from herbs, flowers and resins, how to anoint with them, and how to keep them safely.
Anointing is one of the oldest magical acts. The holy oil in Exodus was made from myrrh, cinnamon, cane and cassia blended into olive oil, and set apart for sacred use. Folk practitioners have always made their own oils from garden herbs, flowers and resins, and the practice remains a simple way to mark a candle, a tool, a doorway or yourself.
