Frankincense & Myrrh Anointing Oil, 16 oz

Frankincense and myrrh have traveled together for so long that their names are almost inseparable, named side by side in scripture, traded along the same desert routes, burned at the same altars. One is solar and bright, the other dark and grounding, and together they form the most cross-traditional anointing pair in the Western magical world. Espiritu's Frankincense and Myrrh anointing oil brings both resins into a single carrier base built for ritual: dressing candles, anointing tools and pulse points, feeding charms and mojo bags. It belongs to the botanica lineage of condition oils, made for working practitioners rather than the cosmetics shelf. Whether you are consecrating an altar, opening a prayer, or preparing a candle, this is a blend almost every tradition has a place for.

Key Features

• The most cross-traditional sacred pairing there is. Frankincense and myrrh together are documented across ancient Egypt, the Hebrew Temple, early Christianity, Hoodoo, and Wicca, so a single bottle covers an extraordinary range of workings.
• Purpose-built for ritual oil work. Formulated in a carrier base for candle dressing, anointing, and consecrating tools and charms, not for cosmetic or aromatherapy use.
• Espiritu botanica line. A consistent, established condition-oil formula sold through specialty spiritual supply, made for working practitioners.
• 16 ounce bulk size. The supply size for shops, teaching spaces, and steady daily practice, since a working takes only drops. Also available in 1 oz and 2 dram bottles.

The Spiritual Significance

Frankincense is a solar resin, tied to the Sun and the element of fire, while myrrh is its lunar counterpart, linked to the Moon and to water. Cunningham lists frankincense for protection, exorcism, and spirituality, and myrrh for protection, healing, and consecration, so the blend carries both lift and grounding at once. In Hoodoo and Southern conjure, a few drops at the pulse points or the soles of the feet prepares the body as a clean vessel before prayer or a working. In Wiccan and eclectic witchcraft, this pair dresses candles for consecration, space clearing, and protection: stroke the oil base to wick to draw energy toward you, or wick to base to send it outward, then light the candle with your intention spoken plainly. Because it balances solar and lunar energy, the blend suits workings on any day of the week and across any moon phase, which makes it one of the most dependable dressing oils a practitioner can keep on the shelf.

How To Use Frankincense & Myrrh Anointing Oil

Ritual oils reward a light touch; a working is measured in drops, not pours. For candle dressing, put a few drops on your fingers or the wax and stroke in the direction of your aim, toward you to draw, away to banish, then light the candle with your intention. To anoint yourself, place a drop at the pulse points, wrists, temples, the base of the throat, or the soles of the feet, before prayer or meditation. To consecrate a tool or altar piece, hold the object, apply a small amount, and state its purpose. To feed a mojo bag or charm, stroke a drop along the outside or add it to the contents. For a ritual bath, stir a small amount into the water or into an unscented liquid soap before you step in. This blend is for external use only; keep it away from the eyes and broken skin, and patch test on the inner arm if your skin is sensitive to fragrance oils.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Espiritu Frankincense and Myrrh oil used for? It is a ritual, or condition, oil for folk magic: dressing and anointing candles, consecrating altar tools, feeding mojo bags and charms, and anointing your own pulse points before prayer or meditation. The pairing suits work of purification, protection, consecration, and spiritual elevation.

Why are frankincense and myrrh used together? Frankincense leans solar and elevating while myrrh is lunar and grounding, so together they cover both halves of a working, lifting and clearing energy while anchoring and protecting it. The combination carries positive associations across Hoodoo, Wicca, ceremonial magic, folk Catholicism, and Espiritismo.

Is this oil safe to apply to skin? It is formulated in a carrier base for external ritual use, so a drop or two at the pulse points is fine for most people. Keep it away from the eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin, do not ingest it, and patch test on your inner arm first if you react to fragrance oils.

Which size should I choose? The 2 dram is a compact size for altar work and travel, the 1 ounce is a comfortable everyday working bottle, and the 16 ounce is a bulk supply for shops, teachers, or steady practice. Since a working uses only drops, even the small bottles last a long while.

How should I store this oil? Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark spot away from sunlight and heat, which wear down fragrance oils over time. A drawer or cabinet is ideal. Stored well it stays usable for a year or more; replace it if the scent fades sharply or turns sour.
