The Ritual of Oil Blends For “Getting Dressed” Before I Start My Day
One of my favorite and most essential morning rituals is something I call “Getting Dressed.” This ritual involves applying specific oil blends in a particular order, with each oil chosen for its magickal properties and its ability to help me align with the energies I want to harness for the day. It’s not just about physically preparing myself—this ritual is about mentally, emotionally, and energetically preparing myself for whatever the day may bring.

Step 1: Cleopatra Oil – Channeling Power, Intelligence, and Confidence
The first oil I apply in this ritual is Cleopatra oil, and I start at my feet, slowly working upwards towards my head. This isn’t about the seductive and alluring side of Cleopatra that we often hear about. Instead, I focus on channeling her intelligence, power, and political acumen.
Cleopatra wasn’t just a beautiful woman; she was a masterful strategist who ruled Egypt for nearly three decades, in a time when the political world was dominated by men. She was highly intelligent, multilingual, and had a deep understanding of diplomacy. By applying Cleopatra oil, I’m invoking her qualities of strength, wit, and leadership, helping me to tackle the day with grace and confidence.
This oil sets the tone for my day, reminding me that I have the strength to manage anything that comes my way, whether it’s a work challenge or a personal hurdle. I imagine myself walking with the same poise and confidence that Cleopatra must have had as she navigated complex political landscapes. -
Step 2: St. Dymphna Oil – Invoking Mental Clarity and Emotional Stability
The next oil I apply is St. Dymphna oil, which I place on my head. St. Dymphna is known as the patron saint of mental illness and those who suffer from emotional distress. Her story is both tragic and inspiring. After the death of her mother, her father’s mental state deteriorated, and in his instability, he eventually took her life. Despite her young age, St. Dymphna is remembered for her courage and compassion.When I apply this oil, I focus on inviting mental clarity and emotional stability into my day. I ask for St. Dymphna’s help in protecting my mind from stress, anxiety, and any mental clutter that may try to invade my thoughts throughout the day. This oil is particularly important for me because it serves as a gentle reminder to take care of my mental health and to stay grounded, no matter what challenges I might face.

Step 3: Money Drawing Oil – Attracting Prosperity and Financial Opportunities
After grounding my mind and emotions, I turn my attention to financial abundance. The third oil I use is Money Drawing oil. As I apply it, I visualize myself as a magnet for financial prosperity. This step isn’t just about wishing for money; it’s about actively signaling to my subconscious mind that I am open to receiving abundance.
I imagine the Money Drawing oil creating a magnetic field around me, attracting wealth, opportunities, and financial growth. I also remind myself to be mindful of the resources I already have and to make wise decisions about spending and saving. This oil helps me stay conscious of opportunities to increase my income and be resourceful with what I already have.
In addition to attracting new wealth, this oil also helps me set the intention to protect and grow the money I have. I feel empowered to make smart financial choices throughout the day, keeping an eye out for unexpected opportunities to grow my resources.

Step 4: Protection Oil – Creating a Shield of Safety
The final oil I apply in my ritual is Protection oil. This oil is the last layer of my morning “armor,” and I imagine it creating a shield of fiery energy around me. This isn’t just any kind of protection—it’s an intense, impenetrable force that keeps me safe from negativity, harm, or anything that could disrupt my peace.
As I apply this oil, I visualize a powerful wall of flames surrounding me, burning away any negative energy that tries to approach. Whether it’s toxic people, harmful situations, or even my own self-doubt, this oil helps me feel safe and empowered to face the day with confidence.
By the time I finish applying Protection oil, I feel fully prepared—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—to step out into the world and face whatever comes my way.
Conclusion: A Ritual for Balance and Empowerment
Incorporating these oil blends into my daily routine has become a vital part of my life. This ritual allows me to intentionally focus on the energies I want to harness each day—whether it’s Cleopatra’s power and intelligence, St. Dymphna’s mental clarity, the abundance of financial prosperity, or the protective shield from Fiery Wall of Protection. Each oil serves a purpose, helping me set intentions for the day ahead.
Ask yourself: “How do I get ready for my day?” Whether you choose to incorporate oil blends or create your own unique ritual, consider starting your mornings with intention, aligning yourself with the energies you want to attract. It makes all the difference in how you experience the world.
