What are Magickal Oils? Magickal oils have been used for their mystical, energizing, and transformative powers for thousands of years by many cultures and religions for ritual and occult purposes. The use of magickal oil goes back to ancient times. Spanning the boundaries of culture and doctrine, their widespread popularity throughout the globe speaks to their effectiveness and strength.

Today, we use these sacred oils in many of the same ways as our ancestors, harnessing a powerful energy that transcends space and time. An important use of magickal oil is to strengthen your intent for a specific task, or even strengthen your relationship with spirit. Magickal oil acts as a beacon for energy you want to attract, making it a powerful addition to any ritual or intention. You can use magickal oil as an aid or support to focus your energy throughout the day to your goals. Applying your intent with the oil helps opens the way for energy to flow towards the goal you want to achieve. Oils are known for their spiritually-infused uplifting properties. 

What are Magickal Oils?

First, Magickal oils are NOT “essential oils.” Essential Oils are a liquid (not necessarily oily) that has been distilled via steam or water from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, or roots of a plant. It takes a lot of an herb to create an essential oil. This is one of the reasons they are so expensive. They are highly concentrated, containing the true essence of the plant from which it was derived. They are also volatile, and are primarily used to make perfumes, flavorings, and to accentuate ritual and spiritual oil blends.

Magickal oils, on the other hand, are oils that have been infused with herbs or herbal combinations, most often for a specific purpose or ritual. Magickal (or Spiritual) oils have been used in ceremonies for thousands of years. They are often used to annoint the body, candles, and tools; in spells, as a sensory prop or an essential element of the spell’s intent, alone or combined with color magick, to turn crystals, amulet, talismans, etc., from mundane items to magickal ones.

Magickal oils are also used in rituals, thru annointing of the body or via aromatherapy. These can lead to ecstatic states or focused energy work. When annointing the body, however, care must be taken with the “carrier oil” for the scent. Some oils are much likely to cause skin irritations or rashes than others. 

Cold Oils

This method takes the longest amount of time, but it is one I have used often.

To make cold oils begin with fresh herbs, plants or flowers, just as in the directions above for warmed oils.

Pack the herbs/flowers in a very clean, dark glass jar (blue, green, or brown glass are possibilities), and add just enough oil to cover the herbs. You’ll need to be patient for this step; it will take a few minutes for the oil to settle completely in the jar. Add more oil, if needed (and it probaby will be), once the first pour has settled.

Screw the lid on lightly and store in a cool dark place.

Once a day, at least, check on the oils. Swirl them around in the container well and then allow to sit. Every Time you swirl the oil and herbs, you can recite your spell or incantation.

At the end of one week check your oil. If the desired scent has not yet been achieved remove the herbs and replace with fresh herbs.

Repeat this process for at least three weeks or until desired scent is achieved.

When desired scent is achieved strain the oil and pour into containers. With this method, you can use a collander to strain the herbs from the oil, if you wish. If you really want to get the most out of your herbs, after straining them, pick them up and squeeze any liquid from them back into your jar.

Store your oil in a clean, sterilized jar just large enough to completely hold the oil. There should be no chance of air being trapped inside the jar with the oil!

Be sure to label your oils, just as you do with the other methods.

Herbal Oils

Though extracting oils by steam distillation and other methods is almost prohibitively expensive, we are spared this cost by the wide availability of essential oils and synthetics on the market today.

Many so-called “essential oils” are actually synthetic; this does not negate their use in magic, however.

If they smell good, use them.

Essential oils are used in numerous ways. They are worn on the body, rubbed onto candles, dabbed onto sachets and poppets, added to baths, burned on charcoal blocks, and smeared onto roots.

The healing power of Tea Tree Oil

Despite its name, tea tree oil has nothing in common with Camellia sinensis, the plant from which tea is prepared, nor with tea oil, obtained from the pressed seeds of the mentioned tea plant.

This oil, also referred to as Melaleuca oil, is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, native to Australia.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil, “essential” meaning that it carries a distinctive scent and it’s a volatile product.

Colorless or colored in pale yellow, this liquid has a long history as a natural topical treatment, being used by Aboriginal people as a remedy against fungal and bacterial infections.

Oils and Incenses in Magick

Oils and incenses, like herbs, are very versatile.

The easiest way of attracting all the good things you want not only for yourself but also for those you love and for those in need is to burn oils and to release the appropriate fragrances and let them work in their own way.

You can choose the appropriate oil for health, happiness, love, success, prosperity, confidence, and protection, to name but a few.

Oil Magick

You can use oils as part of a ritual.

In traditional magick, oils are placed in the West of the altar for the Water element, or the East, if lit, to symbolize the fragrance rising in the Air.

But they can equally form the focus of any spell, each oil being charged with its particular purpose before use.

There are many ways you can use oils magically as well as therapeutically: for example, you can burn them in special holders (these are available everywhere from pharmacies, hardware shops and
supermarkets);

you can sprinkle a few drops on an open fire or on cotton wool;

you can pour a little into a saucer and place it above a radiator;

you can dispense them in sprays or in any of the variety of condensers and diffusers that are available, or you can dilute them and use them as floor washes.

Cautions

Oils are very potent and should only ever be used in accordance with instructions inside the box from the manufacturer.

Generally, oils such as lavender, Chamomile, rose, rosewood and geranium are so mild that for an adult you can use up to ten drops quite safely in a bath full of water.

However, do not add more than three drops of peppermint, lemon or Cedarwood, and no more than four or five drops of other astringent or potent oils such as orange, pine, rosemary, tea tree and thyme to a bathful of water and follow instructions carefully.

You can also put a drop or two of the milder oils on a handkerchief or inhale from the bottle, but again follow instructions to the letter.

For children, use no more than four drops of mild oil (lavender, Chamomile, rose, rosewood or geranium) in total in a bath; for small children, do not use more than two drops and use only gentler
fragrances such as lavender or Chamomile (this is excellent for calming children).

Some conditions preclude the use of certain oils; this applies for use in baths, and for inhalations and massage.

As with herbs, It is recommended that you should always check with your doctor before using any oils.

Epilepsy:

Avoid sweet fennel, hyssop, sage, and rosemary.

High blood pressure:

Avoid cypress, hyssop, rosemary, sage and thyme.

Pregnancy:

It is best to avoid the following oils during any stage of pregnancy.

Angelica, basil, bitter almond, Cedarwood, clary sage, clove, fennel, hyssop, juniper, marjoram, myrrh, peppermint, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, wintergreen, yarrow.

Photo-Toxic Oils

Certain oils, particularly citrus oils, can irritate the skin if they are exposed to the light, and about half of the normal amount of other oils should be used in baths and massage.

Avoid direct sunlight for six hours after use.

They include Angelica, bergamot, ginger, lemon, lime, mandarin and orange. However, they are ideal for burning and are all energizing.

Skin Irritants

Some can be an irritant to the skin and so should be used sparingly and well-diluted.

They include: Allspice, basil, cinnamon, clove, fennel, frankincense, lemon, lemongrass and peppermint.

Oils should never be taken internally and except for pure rose and lavender should not be applied undiluted to the skin.

ABC of carrier oils

Vegetable and carrier oils have a plethora of fine uses which include acting as a carrier for therapeutic applications, as an excellent addition to your culinary creations, as a lathering agent for soap, and as a binding medium for cosmetics.

It is hard to imagine where we would be with our creations if it were not for the goodness and substance that pure oil provides.

There are so many varieties, however, that it is easy to get overwhelmed. Here is a list of the most commonly used carrier oils!

Almond Oil

This is one of the most useful, practical, and commonly used oils.

It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin.

It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products.

Apricot kernel oil 

A wonderful oil similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and prematurely aged skin.

It can be used liberally in most body care recipes.

Argan oil 

This rare and exquisite oil is meticulously pressed from the fruit kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree.

Argan oil is rich in natural tocopherols (vitamin E) and phenols, carotenes, squalene, and fatty acids, making it a truly luxurious oil.

Argan oil absorbs quickly and is often used in skin, nail, and hair treatments to deliver deep hydration, strengthen brittle hair and nails, and prevent/reduce stretch marks.

Avocado oil 

This ultra-rich organic oil is a delightful treasure containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E.

Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids.

Highly prized by those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments, it also makes a lovely salad oil for dressings and condiments.

Highly recommended for those with sensitive skin, problem skin, and other irritations that require vitamin-rich oil.

Baobab oil

This exquisite oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Baobab fruit trees growing in Africa.

The normal lifespan of a Baobab tree is 500 years, with the oldest trees reaching the age of 5,000 years and a height of 20 meters.

Known to the locals in its natural habitat as “The Tree Of Life”, Baobab’s bark, leaves, and fruit pulp are also used.

Its lovely white flowers emit a smell of rotting meat, which attracts pollinating moths, flies, and ants; however, the seed oil itself possesses a light, nutty, almost floral scent.

Rich in vitamins A, E, and F and sterols, baobab oil absorbs quickly and is a wonderful oil to use in dry skin treatments and products designed to moisturize dry hair.

Borage seed oil 

Because of its extremely high levels of gamma-linolenic acid, Borage Seed Oil has many potential uses.
