Basil Oil for Ritual, Anointing, and Blending
I stock this basil oil because it’s one of the most versatile and widely used ritual oils in stock, and the 16 oz bulk size makes it practical for anyone who works with oils regularly. Ocimum basilicum has been used across Hoodoo, folk magic, and Mediterranean traditions for centuries, particularly for its association with money, abundance, and clearing negative energy from a space.
You’ll find basil oil useful across a wide range of workings. It’s a go-to for money drawing and prosperity candles, a natural addition to mojo bags focused on financial luck, and a solid base note when you’re blending custom ritual oils. It also carries a reputation for clarity work and mild protection, making it a practical anchor scent in multi-herb blends. At this size, you’re buying enough to dress dozens of candles, fill mojo bags for a season, or portion out into smaller working bottles without running dry.

How to Use Basil Oil in Ritual Work
How to use basil oil in ritual and anointing work.
- Anoint a candle for money drawing
Pour a small amount of basil oil into your palm. Starting at the candle's midpoint, stroke upward toward the wick while focusing on financial abundance. Repeat from the midpoint downward, then roll the candle to coat it evenly.
- Dress a mojo bag or spell packet
Add three to five drops of basil oil to the herbs or objects inside your mojo bag. Close the bag and hold it in both hands, breathing your intention into it. Carry it on your person to keep the working active throughout the day.
- Blend with a carrier for anointing
Combine basil oil with a neutral carrier such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil at a ratio of about one part basil to ten parts carrier. Apply a small amount to your wrists or the base of your neck before ritual or intention work.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this oil because the supplier behind it has a track record of consistent fill weights and stable scent across batches, which matters when you’re ordering in bulk. Oils that vary batch to batch make blending unreliable, and that’s a problem I’ve seen with cheaper sources. This one holds up. It’s a fragrance-based ritual oil, not a steam-distilled essential oil. If you’re looking for botanical basil essential oil for aromatherapy, I carry that separately. What this is designed for is ritual work: anointing, blending, dressing candles and sachets. It does that job well and at a size that makes sense for practitioners who go through oil regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is a fragrance-based ritual oil, not a steam-distilled essential oil. It's formulated for anointing and spell work, not therapeutic aromatherapy. If you need a botanical basil essential oil, I carry those in my essential oils section.
Basil oil is traditionally used for money drawing, prosperity work, protection, and clarity. You can dress candles, anoint petitions, add it to a mojo bag, or blend it into a carrier for direct skin application during intention-setting rituals.
It depends on how often you work with oils. If you anoint candles, blend your own ritual oils, or run a practice, a pound goes surprisingly fast. It is also a solid buy for those who blend and want to make custom scented ritual oils in batches.
You can use it in an oil burner or diffuser with water, but keep in mind it is a fragrance oil, not a pure essential oil. The scent carries well in a warm diffuser. For therapeutic aromatherapy, a true essential oil would be the better fit.
