Frankincense and Myrrh as a Ritual Pair
Frankincense and myrrh are among the most consistently documented ritual materials in recorded history. Both are resins harvested from trees of the Burseraceae family, frankincense from Boswellia species and myrrh from Commiphora, and both have been burned as offerings, used in embalming preparations, and incorporated into sacred anointing practices across ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Their combination in a single formula reflects centuries of cross-cultural use: the pairing appears in biblical texts, in kyphi recipes from ancient Egypt, and in modern ritual practice for purposes of purification, protection, and spiritual connection.
Espiritu oils are ritual fragrance oils formulated for traditional spiritual and folk magic applications. They’re used for anointing, not for skin care or aromatherapy diffusion. This Frankincense and Myrrh blend carries the deep, balsamic character of both resins in an oil base that makes it easy to apply to candles, ritual objects, and altar surfaces.

How to Use Espiritu Frankincense and Myrrh Ritual Oil
Three traditional uses for Espiritu Frankincense and Myrrh ritual oil.
- Dress a Candle
Apply a small amount to your fingers and stroke it onto the candle from the center outward toward each end. Use a white, gold, or purple candle for purification or spiritual work, and a specific color for more targeted intentions that fit the blend.
- Anoint Ritual Objects
Apply a drop to the base or back of a talisman, prayer card, petition, or ritual tool to anchor the object within a frankincense-myrrh context: purification and protective presence. Wipe excess and allow the anointed object to rest before use.
- Prepare Your Space
Apply a small amount to the palms, rub together, then pass your hands over the altar surface before beginning. This traditional method sets ritual intention in a space and creates the distinct atmosphere associated with frankincense and myrrh.
