How to Make Blessing Oils
Oct
Making blessing oils is a simple and fulfilling process that allows you to create a blend infused with specific intentions, energies, and properties. These oils can be used in rituals, anointing, or as part of spiritual practices. Here’s a guide on how to make your own blessing oils:
Materials Needed
- Base Oil: Choose a carrier oil as the base for your blessing oil. Common options include olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil. These oils serve as a neutral base that can carry the scents and properties of your added ingredients.
- Essential Oils: Select essential oils that correspond to your intended purpose for the blessing oil. Some popular choices include:
- Lavender: For peace and tranquility.
- Rose: For love and compassion.
- Frankincense: For protection and spiritual awareness.
- Bergamot: For uplifting energy and joy.
- Cedarwood: For grounding and purification.
- Herbs and Botanicals (optional): You can make oils with various herbs. I highly recommend working with it as you go, adding and taking away various other herbs that have related properties to your purpose. For instance, you can add cinnamon to increase psychic vibrations of the clover and peppermint. Plus this can create a new aroma that may increase your awareness when using it. You may also add dried herbs or flowers that align with your intentions, such as:
- Basil: For prosperity.
- Sage: For protection and cleansing.
- Cinnamon: For empowerment and success.
- Chamomile: For luck and calmness.
- Glass Container: A small glass bottle or jar with a secure lid for storing your blessing oil. Dark glass is preferable to protect the oil from light degradation.
- Mixing Tools: A small funnel, dropper, or stirring tool may be helpful for combining your ingredients.
Steps to Make Blessing Oils
- Set Your Intentions: Before beginning the process, take a moment to clarify your intentions for the blessing oil. Focus on what you wish to manifest, such as love, protection, or healing.
- Prepare the Base: Fill your glass container with your chosen base oil. Leave some space at the top to add essential oils and herbs.
- Add Essential Oils: Using a dropper, add 10 to 30 drops of your selected essential oils. The number of drops will depend on the desired strength of the scent and properties. A good practice is to start with fewer drops and add more to your preference.
- Incorporate Herbs/Botanicals: If using dried herbs or botanicals, add a pinch of each to the base oil. You can tailor the mix based on your intent, but be mindful of the proportions so that one ingredient doesn’t overpower the others.
- Blend and Infuse: Close the container tightly and shake gently to blend the oils and herbs. As you do this, visualize your intentions infusing into the oil. You can also hold the bottle in your hands and speak your intentions aloud or meditate on them.
- Allow for Infusion: For enhanced potency, allow the mixture to sit in a cool, dark place for a few days to two weeks. Shake the oil daily to help with the infusion process. Alternatively, you can warm the mixture gently (without boiling) to expedite the infusion, but be cautious when heating oils.
- Strain (if necessary): If you used dried herbs, you may want to strain the oil through a fine mesh cloth or coffee filter to remove solid particles, especially if you plan to store it for an extended period.
- Store Your Blessing Oil: Once ready, label your container with the name of the oil and its intended use. Store it in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
Using Your Blessing Oil
- Anointing: Use the oil to anoint candles, spiritual tools, or yourself before rituals.
- Rituals and Ceremonies: Incorporate the oil into your spiritual practices by adding it to baths, using it in spells, or during meditations.
- Blessing Items: Use the oil to bless and charge items, such as talismans or crystals.
Timing
The best time to make an oil is two days before a full moon and then on the day of the full moon, you can prepare it for storing and use. As the moon is waxing into the full moon phase your oils will build with magical potency. The peak of the full moon represents maximum energy available for spiritual work. You should focus spiritual energy into the mixture related to your purpose as you finish making the oil.
Storage
I suggest using a small container with a lid to store the oil. Remember how perfume samples comes in small tubes? This is a great way to store a small amount. It is best to use a small tinted glass vial with a screw cap. Place the crystal from your steeped oil in first. Then take a few of the leaves and such from your oil and place them into the vial. You can then fill the vial with some of the oil.
Clearly label the purpose of the oil on the vial. You can use blank address labels like those found in sheets for computers. This will help keep additional light from souring your oil. Store the vial in a cool dark place such as a box or drawer to keep light and heat exposure to a minimum.
I store oil for around 90 days then I prepare some more. You can put a few drops of the old oil and the crystal you used in your new mixture to add extra potency to it. As you replenish your stock, the oils created will become more powerful as time goes on because each batch is building power from all previous batches. I do not recommend using the herbs from an older batch in the new oils created.
Using you new Blessing Oil for Spell Casting
Using blessing oil in spell casting is a powerful way to enhance your intentions and manifest your desires. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to effectively incorporate blessing oils into your spellwork:
1. Choose Your Intention
- Before starting, clearly define what you want to achieve with your spell. This could be anything from attracting love, success, protection, or health. Your intention will guide the entire process.
2. Gather Your Materials
- Blessing Oil: Use the oil you’ve prepared or a commercially available essential oil blend that aligns with your intention.
- Items for Your Spell: Collect any other materials you may need, such as candles, herbs, crystals, or a spell jar.
- Altar or Workspace: Set up a clean, sacred space where you can focus on your spell.
3. Prepare Your Space
- Create a calm and focused environment. You might light candles, burn incense, or play soft music to set the mood.
- If you practice grounding techniques, take a few moments to center yourself before beginning.
4. Anointing
- Anoint Yourself: Begin by applying a small amount of the blessing oil to pulse points, such as your wrists, behind your ears, or at the base of your throat. As you do this, speak your intention aloud or silently visualize what you wish to manifest.
- Anoint Tools or Candles: Use the blessing oil to anoint any tools you will use in your spell, such as candles, crystals, or spell jars. For candles, you can rub the oil from the top towards the center for drawing things in, or from the center to the bottom for banishing.
- Anointing Sigils or Symbols: If you are using symbols, sigils, or written intentions, anoint these with the oil as well.
5. Perform the Spell
- Follow the specific steps of your spell casting, incorporating your anointed items as needed.
- Affirmations: Recite affirmations or incantations that align with your intention while using the oil. For example, you might state, “With this oil, I draw forth love and joy into my life.”
6. Visualize Your Intention
- As you perform the spell, visualize your intention materializing. Picture every detail and allow yourself to feel the emotions associated with achieving your desire.
- Focus on the energy of the blessing oil as it aids in manifesting your goal.
7. Closing the Spell
- Once you have completed your ritual, express gratitude for the energy and assistance you invoked. This could be to deities, spirits, or the universe.
- Extinguish any candles used in the spell and dispose of or store any materials according to your discretion.
8. Follow-Up
- Keep the blessing oil nearby as a reminder of your intention, and consider using it regularly until your desire manifests.
- You can also revisit the spell, especially if you feel the need to reinforce your intention.
