venerate: a devotional oil
-
Product Info
venerate was created as a ritual oil for the threshold between the human and the divine. it is for the person lighting a candle and asking, “who walks with me?” it is for the devotee returning to an altar that has gone quiet. it is for the witch who already has a beloved deity, but feels another symbol, name, dream, or presence beginning to stir at the edge of their practice. this oil is not about forcing contact. it is about preparing yourself to listen.
this oil also draws on older devotional materials used across ceremonial traditions. frankincense lifts the work into prayer, consecration, and sacred atmosphere, while myrrh deepens the current with reverence and ancient offering. together, they create a holy feeling that is not demanding. venerate may be used to anoint candles, petitions, altar tools, jewelry, devotional objects, offering bowls, or the hands before prayer and ritual.
use venerate when beginning deity work, refreshing your devotion, asking for signs, preparing for divination, creating an altar, entering dream work, or performing any ritual where you wish to approach the divine with humility, beauty, and protection. this is an oil for reverence, not command. a flame at the threshold. a hand over the heart. a quiet invitation for the right presence to step closer.
produced in extremely small quantities, oil has about a 6 month shelf life if stored in a cool, dark place. please use your own discernment for when it's passed it's prime!
