Wish oils are scented ritual oils used in folk and spiritual practice to focus an intention, often by dressing a candle or an altar item. They are listed in our store as fragrance oils, so check each product page before putting any oil on skin, and keep oil away from open flame.
What is a wish oil?
A wish oil is a scented oil blended for a purpose such as attraction, protection, or opening a path. People use them in personal rituals to mark an intention. See the full range in the wish oil collection. Examples include All Purpose, Attraction, Aquarius (an astrology-aligned oil) and 7 Holy Spirits, which is named for a specific devotion.
How are wish oils traditionally used?
The most common use is dressing a candle: you place a small amount of oil on the candle with a clean finger or cloth, set your intention, and light it. Others dab a little on an altar item. Pair an oil with a candle from the spiritual candle collection, and read our 7-day candle guide.
Using oil safely near a flame
- Use only a few drops, and wipe the candle's top clear so no oil pools near the wick.
- Keep the oil bottle capped and well away from any flame.
- Burn candles on a heat-resistant surface and never leave them unattended.
- Our wish oils are sold as fragrance oils. Do not put them on skin unless the product page says it is safe to do so.
How to choose one
Start with the purpose you care about and read the product page for what the oil is made for. A general oil such as All Purpose suits a first try. Take care with oils named for specific devotions and use them in line with your own faith or tradition.
