Magickal oils are also known in different traditions as conditioning oils, anointing oils or potions (though not meant for consumption). These are blends that are created for a specific energetic purpose using essential oils and sometimes incorporating herbs, stones and other ingredients. The blends are put in “carrier oils” or “base oils” which not only give it more of an oil consistency but also help dilute the oils themselves which in turn makes the essential oils less intense and harsh on the skin.

These carrier oils are derived solely from plants and thus are ruled by different planets and elements and carry their own vibration. While a carrier oil will not override or change the overall intention or energetic signature of a magickal oil, you can definitely select a carrier oil that will match and enhance your intention, giving it that extra boost. I have chosen (arguably) the ten most popular carrier oils for magickal oils and researched their correspondences.
