This is a really good anointing oil to have. It's tough to read here in the picture so I've posted it below:
- 1 airtight 2 oz. jar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon rosemary
- 10 drops myrrh oil
- Light colored olive oil - used to completely fill the jar
Mix well in an airtight two-ounce jar. Turn jar over daily for at least 10 days before using. Rub the oil on the candle before burning.
Interesting Point: I was raised Catholic and every February 3rd we would go have our throats blessed - using anointed candles. Known as the feast day for Saint Blaise; two candles are blessed, held slightly open, and pressed against the throat as a blessing is said. Saint Blaise's protection of those with throat troubles apparently comes from a legend that a boy was brought to him who had a fishbone stuck in his throat. The boy was about to die when Saint Blaise healed him.
There are so many similarities between Sabbats and 'holy days' - it's so interesting!
