Abramelin Oil

   Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. [Exodus 30: 22-25]  

   Abramelin Oil is one of the most significant ritual preparations described in the Book of Abramelin, a 15th-century grimoire devoted to attaining the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Its recipe, composed of cinnamon, myrrh, cassia and calamus blended into olive oil, is a direct echo of the holy anointing oil revealed to Moses in the Book of Exodus. In both traditions, the oil serves as a medium of sanctification and empowerment, reserved for the consecration of sacred objects and priestly service. Within the Abramelin operation, the oil is used to anoint the altar, vestments, wand, and even the aspirant, purifying them for the great work of invoking the Angel and exerting authority over spiritual forces. Its fragrance unites the spicy, resinous, and rooty qualities of its ingredients, creating a sensory link to ancient temple rites. Thus, Abramelin Oil bridges Biblical tradition with Renaissance magic, embodying the continuity of sacred practice and the profound symbolism of divine blessing and spiritual authority.

   The original recipe for the holy oil is quoted from Exodus above. Made according to the old recipe for works of High Magick.
