Anointing the Body

Clients have asked me if there are additional methods of working with oils along with performing candle spells. There are several however to keep this writing simple, I’ll offer one that was given to me a few years ago by my friend Dean.

Before I started suggesting this to clients, I tried it first. This is something I’ll do with most new things to make sure it works. I also changed it by the suggestion of my Spirits.

Recite the following as you do the anointments:

“I call on my Higher Power, Spirits of my family, Loa and all the Spirits who walk with me to bless me with (insert the purpose of the oil(s) you are using. Example: good luck, abundance, success).”

You will continue to recite the above as you apply the oils in the following manner:

Beginning at the top of your head, draw a small equal armed cross + and continue to the forehead, back of neck, heart, elbows, hands, each hip, each knee and bottoms of both feet.

Blended oils have carrier oil in them however you may want to check by dabbing a small amount on the inside of your wrist to be sure it doesn’t irritate your skin before trying the above.

Where My Site is and How to Anoint Candles

I know I haven't written anything in ages. Recently I had to move my website to another domain and that took several months to get straightened out. Over the past month I had noticed a glitch on the home page and had to talk to the host about it and it's fixed. If you went to my site and were unable to access it for any reason, it's up and operating normally now!

Many people ask how to anoint a candle, which used to be on my old website template. These instructions are basic and simple.

How to Anoint Candles:

In most cases, you’ll have oil that is for “gain.” That means you are trying to draw something to you. Here are the following types of candles and how to anoint them.

Tea-light: Start at the outside rim and circle clockwise toward the wick.

7 Day Jar: Start at the outside rim and circle clockwise toward the wick.

Tapers: Begin at the top where the wick is, draw down toward you, stop at the center. Then from the bottom, go up to the center.

Using Command or Bend Over Oil:

Use a purple taper or thicker type of candle, begin at the top where the wick is. Grasp the candle with your hand and twist “in” then “out” as you glide your hand down the candle. Go all the way down to the bottom.

Hexing, Justice, etc.

Using your middle finger (get it?), start at the wick and circle counter-clockwise to the outer rim of the jar.

With tapers, you would apply the oil moving away from your body instead of toward you. I recommend using a rubber glove when handling these types of oils.
