Anointing candles-
In most traditions of candle burning it is considered important to consecrate and bless one's candles before using them for Magick. This may be done by pouring a little bit of oil onto the palm or fingertips. then applying the oil to the candle by starting from the center and rubbing upwards around the tip in smooth, even strokes then returning to the center and applying oil in the same smooth strokes downward toward the candle's lower end. Magickal oils may also be used to anoint objects and ritual tools.
You can also use herbs to anoint your candles
take any herbs you wish to use and blend them with your hands focusing on your intent , grind the herbs into a powder, than rub vegtable oil over the candle and than roll it in the powedered herbs, this is simple yet very effective, I have used this method several times, it is good if you don't have essential oils but would still like to anoint your candles.
