Frankincense & Myrrh Anointing Oil by Envision Crystals, 2 Dram

The classic consecration pairing. Frankincense and myrrh appear together in scripture, in ceremonial magic, and in Wiccan altar practice, so this one oil covers blessing, purification, and consecration without a second bottle.

A 2 dram bottle for altar work. A quarter fluid ounce is plenty for anointing tools and candles, which use a drop at a time, and it keeps the resin scent concentrated rather than spread thin across a big bottle.

Made by Envision Crystals. Envision Crystals blends this oil for ritual use; the current listing describes it as a frankincense and myrrh blend, with the full formula available from Plentiful Earth on request.

Frankincense and myrrh oil is used for consecration, purification, and blessing across Wicca, ceremonial magic, Hoodoo, and Christian folk practice. Myrrh is named among the ingredients of the holy anointing oil in Exodus, frankincense burned in the temple incense, and the two arrive together as gifts in the nativity story, which is why so many practitioners keep this pairing as the default oil for making a thing holy.

Scott Cunningham places frankincense under the Sun and Fire and myrrh under the Moon and Water, and that balance is the point: one resin to illuminate, one to protect and preserve. Wiccans anoint the athame, the chalice, and the candles of a new altar with it. Ceremonial magicians use it for consecrating tools and talismans. In Hoodoo it shows up in blessing and spiritual cleansing work, often alongside holy oil. You can use it for all of these, and for the smaller consecrations too: a new journal, a new home, a new year.

1. To consecrate a tool, put a drop on your finger and trace a small cross, pentacle, or circle on the object while you speak its purpose: this blade is for cutting nothing but air, this cup is for the water of my rite.
2. To bless a candle, anoint it from the middle outward toward both ends, which many Wiccans use for blessing and balancing work, then light it with an invocation of your choosing.
3. To bless a space, touch a drop to the top of each doorframe and each windowsill, moving clockwise through the home.
4. To anoint yourself before a working, a single drop on the forehead or the back of each hand is traditional. This is a ritual oil rather than a cosmetic, so dab a small spot on your inner arm first, keep it away from your eyes, and never take it internally.
5. Let the scent settle before you begin. Frankincense and myrrh reward a slow start; trust the quiet they bring.

• Frankincense and Myrrh Granular Incense, 1 oz: The same pairing in resin form to burn on charcoal while you anoint, so the scent fills the room and the tool alike.
• Frankincense Resin Tears, 1 oz: Pure frankincense tears for solar and offering work when you want the brighter half of the blend alone.
• Myrrh Resin Incense, 1 oz: Pure myrrh resin for lunar, protective, and remembrance work, the deeper half of the pairing.
• White 6" Household Candle: A plain white candle to dress with the oil for blessings, consecrations, and new beginnings.
• Holy oil 4 dram: Holy oil for practitioners who work in a Christian folk or Hoodoo frame and want to layer the two blessing oils.

What is anointing oil, and why frankincense and myrrh?

Anointing oil is oil applied with intention to a person, tool, candle, or space to bless or consecrate it. Frankincense and myrrh are the classic anointing pairing because both resins appear in the biblical holy oils and temple incense, and because they balance each other: frankincense is solar and bright, myrrh lunar and protective.

How do I bless anointing oil before I use it?

Bless anointing oil by holding the closed bottle in both hands, naming what it is for, and asking that every drop carry that purpose. Some practitioners recite a psalm, offer a short invocation to their deity, or simply breathe over the bottle three times. Leave it on the altar overnight and it is ready.

Is frankincense and myrrh oil appropriate for Wiccan altar consecration?

Frankincense and myrrh oil is one of the most common choices for Wiccan altar and tool consecration. Anoint the athame, wand, chalice, and pentacle with a drop each while dedicating them to their purpose, and dress the altar candles from the middle outward. Many covens consecrate on a full moon.

Can I use this oil in Hoodoo blessing work?

Frankincense and myrrh oil is used in Hoodoo for blessing, spiritual cleansing, and dressing candles for protection and peace in the home, often alongside holy oil and a psalm. Anoint a white candle and the corners of a room, or add a drop to a floor wash for a house blessing.

Is this made with essential oils or fragrance oils?

The supplier describes the oil as a blend of frankincense and myrrh essential oils from Envision Crystals. It does not name the carrier oil, so Plentiful Earth can confirm the full formula before you order if that detail matters for your practice.

How long does frankincense and myrrh oil keep?

Kept upright in a cool, dark place with the cap tight, a resin-based anointing oil keeps its scent for a year or more. Two drams is about 140 drops, and since consecration work uses a drop at a time, one bottle usually lasts through many rites. If the scent fades or turns, replace it.
