Sun anointing oil is used in Wiccan and ceremonial planetary magic for success, confidence, recognition, vitality of spirit, and blessing. The planetary system that assigns the Sun to Sunday, to gold, and to solar herbs like frankincense and bay descends from the Hermetic tradition written down by Agrippa in the sixteenth century and carried into modern witchcraft through the Golden Dawn and Wicca. Working the Sun means working with light, warmth, and the open hand.

You can dress a gold or yellow candle with it on a Sunday for a job, a promotion, a performance, or a public success. You can anoint a charm of citrine or a gold coin to carry your confidence into the world. At Litha, the summer solstice, many witches anoint their brow with a solar oil at noon to honor the year's longest light. And on an ordinary gray Tuesday, a single drop on the wrist is a small, private way to remember that the sun is still up there.

1. Choose a Sunday, a noon hour, or a waxing moon if you can; solar work likes the light on its side.
2. Dress a gold or yellow candle from the base toward the wick, drawing the success toward you, and light it while you speak an affirmation of what you are stepping into.
3. Anoint a solar charm, a citrine, a sunflower, a gold coin, or a piece of jewelry you wear to work, with a single drop and name what it is for.
4. To wear it, a drop on each wrist and one over the heart before you walk in. 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. Close by facing the sun, or a window, and saying thank you. Your own sense of when you have had enough light is a fine place to stop.

How do I use anointing oil on a candle for success?
