The ingredients:
Olive oil is often associated with light and enlightenment in many spiritual traditions. It symbolises the divine spark within each individual, representing knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual awakening. Additionally, olive oil is used in rituals to cleanse and purify the body and spirit to clear negative energy and promote spiritual clarity. Beyond its physical healing properties, olive oil is also valued for its spiritual healing qualities, nourishing and rejuvenating the body, mind, and spirit, and promoting overall well-being. The anointing of kings with olive oil in Judea was a profound ritual that signified divine selection and blessing. This act of anointing was not merely a political gesture but a deeply religious one, believed to endow the king with the Holy Spirit, granting him the wisdom and strength necessary to rule. The oil used in these anointing ceremonies was not ordinary olive oil. It was often mixed with spices such as myrrh and cinnamon, creating a special consecrated oil reserved exclusively for holy purposes. This sacred mixture underscored the sanctity of the ritual and the divine favour bestowed upon the anointed king. The preparation of the anointing oil was a meticulous process. Olives were crushed, and the oil was allowed to drip out naturally, ensuring its purity and sanctity. This pure oil was then used in the anointing ceremony, where it was poured over the head of the king, symbolising the outpouring of God’s blessings and the king’s consecration to his divine role.
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) has a rich history spanning over 4000 years, entwined with magic and religious practices. In ancient Egypt, it held the esteemed position of being the most valuable perfume material. Myrrh was meticulously added to perfume recipes, often as the final touch—a seal of quality or the mark of Hathor. Hathor, the patroness of perfumes, had Myrrh dedicated as her sacred fragrance. Once a year, during her annual festival, this precious perfume graced the air. But Myrrh’s influence extended beyond festivals; it played a role in the mummification process and was a key ingredient in various perfumes. In the temple, Myrrh found yet another purpose. It featured in daily recipes for anointing the statues of gods. Beyond its aromatic allure, Myrrh boasts antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it exerts a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting stillness of mind and tranquillity.”The Commiphora species that yield myrrh are shrubs or small trees, reaching heights of up to 10 meters. These plants have sturdy, knotted branches, trifoliate aromatic leaves, and small white flowers. The trunk produces a natural oleoresin—a pale yellow liquid that eventually hardens into reddish-brown tears, known as myrrh. Native collectors create incisions in the tree bark to enhance the yield. Myrrh is native to northeast Africa and southwest Asia, particularly the Red Sea region (including Somalia, Yemen, and Ethiopia).
Cinnamon Leaf (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) has a warm, sweet, and spicy aroma that enhances and energises our physical, mental, and psychic well-being. It gives an extra boost to all magical work and aids in focusing the mind on the magical intention. It’s ideal for cleanses, purification, and consecration of ceremonial or ritual spaces. Additionally, cinnamon can open psychic channels, making it valuable for divination. Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka, Madagascar, the Comoro Islands, South India, Myanmar and Indochina. It’s a tropical tree up to 15 metres high, with strong branches and thick scabrous bark.
Galangal (Kaempferia galanga) is a monocotyledonous (grass-like) plant in the ginger family and one of four plants referred to as galangal. It primarily grows in open areas in Indonesia, southern China, Taiwan, Cambodia, and India, but is also widely cultivated throughout Southeast Asia.
The rhizomes of galangal contain essential oils and have been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a decoction or powder. An alcoholic maceration has also been used as a liniment for rheumatism. However, it’s important to note that the extract can cause central nervous system depression, decreased motor activity, and reduced respiratory rate.
Decoctions and sap from galangal leaves may possess hallucinogenic properties, possibly due to unidentified chemical components in the plant’s essential oil fraction. Galangal oil shares many characteristics as a relative of ginger but has a unique scent. Its aromatic, warm, earthy, and spicy fragrance is complemented by fresh, lemony, and floral undertones that stimulate the senses. Galangal nurtures the inner fire, dispelling indecisive thoughts and enhancing concentration. It promotes a focus on our intentions, and clarity of vision and enhances visualisations.
Calamus (Acorus calamus) (also called sweet flag, sway or muskrat root) is a species of flowering plant with psychoactive chemicals. It is a tall wetland plant of the family Acoraceae, in the genus Acorus. Although used in traditional medicine over centuries to treat digestive disorders and pain, there is no clinical evidence for its safety or efficacy – and ingested calamus may be toxic – leading to its commercial ban in the United States. Calamus is found in various locations including India, Nepal, central Asia, southern Russia, Siberia, Europe, and North America. It thrives in habitats such as the edges of small lakes, ponds, rivers, marshes, swamps, and other wetlands.
Calamus is a nervous system stimulant that aids in clear self-expression. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend it for eliminating metabolic toxins from the body and reducing mental issues, especially those associated with substance abuse or an imbalanced lifestyle. In both Western and Eastern medicine, Calamus is valued as a remedy for nervous indigestion, dyspepsia, and stagnation of the digestive system. The Calamus plant is believed to be a means of communicating with the souls of the deceased, serving as a unique channel between the living and the departed. It is considered a symbol of good fortune and carrying a Calamus root is thought to bring prosperity and serendipity. The plant is also used to prepare an elixir for immortality and invisibility, and it is believed to protect against evil spells and bad energies. Hanging a sprig of Calamus above doorways is said to offer protection against the unseen. Additionally, the plant’s stimulating and uplifting scent is said to brighten and uplift weary spirits, as well as clear the cobwebs from minds entangled in doubt.
Please remember to shake well before using the oil.
