Magical oils are among the most mysterious and intriguing tools used in Wicca and other forms of Witchcraft. Since before recorded history, shamans and healers of all kinds have used fragrant oils in ritual, magic and medicine, knowing as we do that their use has the potential to transform lives on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Because of their unique effects on the mind of the practitioner, botanical oils provide a direct tie between the natural physical world and the spiritual plane. But what exactly are magical oils and where do they come from?
Unlike other natural ingredients such as crystals and plant roots, oils don’t come fully-formed into the world on their own—instead, they are derived from processes developed by human beings. Many who are new to the Craft may have little understanding of just what it is they’re anointing their candles (or their own bodies) with, since unlike most other tools used in ritual and spellwork, oils aren’t exactly easy to examine close-up. This lack of familiarity can make working with oils seem daunting, or even create an unintentional energetic disconnect between the beginning magician and these otherwise-powerful substances. If you’ve ever wondered how or why to use botanical oils in your spellwork, this guide will serve you well.
Essential Oil Magic was created to provide you with a comprehensive overview of magical botanical oils and their use in modern Witchcraft. Best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain explains the evolution of magical oils over time, from their rustic beginnings to their modern incarnations in the form of essential oils, giving you a clearer sense of how these unique substances came to be and why they greatly enhance your ritual and magical practice.
In addition, you’ll be introduced to a Witch’s dozen of essential oils commonly used in both healing and contemporary magic, many with histories of magical use going back for thousands of years. These 13 oils represent a wide range of scents, plant types, and healing and magical properties, and are among the most affordable essential oils available today. What’s more, each of the blend recipes and spells utilize oils from this Witch’s dozen, making it easier for you to get your blending practice underway in no time.
Foundations for Using Essential Oils in Your Magical Practice
Knowing what goes into essential oils and how these ingredients contribute to magic is an excellent first step. But to create the highest quality magical blends, you’ll need to know what to look for when purchasing your oils, and how to properly care for them. Furthermore, you’ll need to get acquainted with each of your single oils on its own terms—its unique scent, its magical properties, and which oils to mix it with for a pleasing and powerful blend. Essential Oil Magic has all of this information and more, including:
- How our spiritual forbears in the Craft used botanical oils in ritual, magic and healing in ancient civilizations
- How the magical properties of oils add power to your spellwork
- Profiles of 13 of the most popular and readily available oils used by Witches today, including their magical properties and associations
- Detailed instructions for creating your own magical blends
- Blend recipes, oil-oriented spells for you to try your hand at, and a few other ideas for taking your practice further
By the end of this guide, you will have a solid foundation to work from as you incorporate magical oils into your practice, and you’ll be delighted by the diversity of this very special form of herbal magic!

Full of repices for making home made essentials oil, how to charge them and how to enchant them ect. Font is a nice standard size. Paper is a nice thickness. Good cover artwork. Great book for beginners who want to start making their own anointing oil or Vaterns who might be looking for some new oil repices.

This is an excellent guide for persons new to learning the mysteries of essential oils. It provides a simple to use guide to some of the most common oils and their application, providing the greatest degree of positive results. I specifically like the fact that the book differentiates the value of an oil derived from various parts of a plant such as the bark versus the flowers or bark. This is a great starting point for people looking to build a solid foundation of knowledge of oils.

My spiritual journey is just beginning and find this is what I needed. There is so much to learn and many different resources that are out there but I found this book to be easy to understand. Upon reading it I knew immediately that I made the right choice in purchasing. I plan to also purchase the full Wicca series of books. Thank you so Much for providing the knowledge, and this amazing resource to those like me who are just starting out but…may need to take baby steps. Peace and Blessings~

This book had some good information. Definitely geared for beginners. I was hoping for many more recipes. Glad I read it before I purchased my essential oils.

This is my third book by Lisa Chamberlain, the previous two books I have are candle spells which I enjoyed very much but my husband reacted badly to the candles so we decided to try oils instead and bought “Essential Oils Magic” by Lisa and WOW – it opened up a whole different way of enjoying “Magic” the oils were easily obtained so no problem there and we used Tea Light candle holder for the oils infusing them with hot water for their essence being guided by references in the back of our previous books by Lisa. I have now sent off for “Herbal Magic” by Lisa.

This book is excellent for learning 13 basic essential oils that help with a variety of issues. I started reading wicca books to get closer to the earth. This book is a great start! I love how it provides guides on how to spot fake oils. I plan to go with the brand plant therapy now.

Best book on oils

This was a good book for beginners in essential oil magic. You can find a lot of information on oils online, but not too much centered around Wicca. There are better titles out there, but at this price you can’t beat what this little book has to offer.
