Ritual oils have been part of spiritual practice for thousands of years, across Hindu, Egyptian, Hoodoo, and Mediterranean traditions alike. In every culture that developed a serious engagement with the invisible world, oil was understood as a carrier for intention. A medium between the physical and the energetic. Today, spell oils and ritual oils are used by practitioners worldwide for love work, abundance attraction, protection, and spiritual power. This guide explains exactly what they are, how they work, and how to use them correctly.
Quick Answer
Spell oils are carrier oil blends infused with botanicals, herbs, resins, and energetic intention, used to anoint candles, the body, or ritual objects to amplify a specific goal such as love, money, or protection. Medha's handcrafted oils are designed for 9-day rituals and are shipped across India.
What Are Spell Oils and How Do They Work?
A spell oil, also called a ritual oil or intention oil, is a blend of carrier oils infused with herbs, botanicals, resins, and sometimes crystals, charged with a specific spiritual intention. The oil acts as a physical anchor for that intention. When you anoint an object, a candle, or your own body with the oil, you are engaging the principle that the physical world and the energetic world are in constant dialogue, and that deliberate, focused action on one level creates movement on the other.
This is not magic in the Hollywood sense. It is a practice rooted in the understanding that intention, when given form and consistency, affects reality. The 9-day structure of Medha's oils is significant: repetition over time is how the subconscious and the energetic field are actually reached. One candle lit once has some power. The same practice, held daily for nine days with focused intention, creates a far stronger field.
"Oil carries intention the way water carries salt. The vessel is ordinary. What is dissolved in it is not."

How to Use a Spell Oil: The Basics
Each oil comes with a specific 9-day ritual protocol. The general principles apply across all of them:
1. Anointing Your Body
Apply a small amount of oil to pulse points: the wrists, the base of the throat, and behind the ears. As you do this, hold your intention clearly in mind. Do not rush. The application is part of the ritual, not a prelude to it. For love oils like Mohini, you may also apply to the heart centre (sternum) and the inside of the elbows.
Do a patch test before first use, especially if your skin is sensitive. Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction.
2. Anointing a Candle
Choose a candle in a colour aligned with your intention. Red or pink for love and attraction. Green or gold for abundance. Black or white for protection and clarity. Apply a small amount of oil to the candle, working from the middle outward toward both ends (drawing intention toward you). Light the candle with a clear verbal or mental statement of your intention. Let it burn safely.
Repeat this daily for nine days. The accumulative effect of nine days of focused ritual is significantly stronger than a single session.
3. Anointing an Intention Paper
Write your intention clearly on a piece of paper. Apply a small amount of oil to the corners and centre of the paper. Fold the paper toward you (for drawing) or away from you (for releasing). Place it under a candle, on your altar, or in a small box kept out of sight.
4. Adding to a Ritual Bath
Medha also offers two ritual bath salts designed for specific purposes. You can add a few drops of a compatible oil to a bath along with the salt for a combined cleansing and attraction ritual. For example, Mohini oil with the Sunhera Soak (abundance attracting bath salt) creates a combined bath for love and prosperity. The Urja Soak (energy cleansing salt) is best used alone, as it is designed to clear before you begin working with attraction oils.
The 9-Day Ritual: Why Nine Days?
Nine is the number of completion in numerology and holds sacred significance in many traditions. In Vedic practice, nine-day cycles (like Navratri) are used for concentrated spiritual work. The nine-day ritual structure of Medha's oils is designed to create a sustained energetic field over enough time to actually shift the patterns at work. Think of it like planting and watering a seed daily versus planting it once and walking away.
Consistency matters more than perfection. If you miss a day, continue the next day. If your intention shifts midway through, pause and start again with the new intention. The ritual is a living practice, not a rigid formula.
Ritual Bath Salts: The Urja and Sunhera Soaks
In addition to the spell oils, Medha offers two ritual bath salts:
- Urja Soak, Energy Cleansing Ritual Bath Salt. Used to clear negative energy, stagnation, and accumulated psychic debris. Best used at the start of a new ritual cycle or after a difficult period.
- Sunhera Soak, Abundance Attracting Ritual Bath Salt. Used to open the energetic field to financial flow and opportunity. Particularly effective as part of a Kamalaroopa oil cycle.
Both are formulated with sea salts, botanicals, and energetic intention and are designed for use in the bath. Add to warm water, set your intention, and soak for at least 20 minutes.

Order a Spell OilFrequently Asked Questions
Which oil should I use for love?
Mohini is the primary love and attraction oil. It is designed for drawing romantic love, increasing personal magnetism, and opening the energetic field to connection. If you are more focused on removing barriers and reclaiming your own power in love, the Black Moon (Lilith) oil may be more relevant. When in doubt, message Medha directly and she will advise based on your situation.
Can I use more than one oil at a time?
It is generally best to work one oil at a time, as each oil creates a specific energetic field and combining them can dilute the focus. If you want to work with love and abundance simultaneously, complete a full 9-day cycle of one before beginning the other. Medha can advise on sequencing if needed.
Do the oils need to be refrigerated?
No. Store your oil at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. Oils are best used within 12 months of purchase.
Are these oils shipped outside India?
Currently, Medha's spell oils are shipped within India only. For international clients interested in the oils, message via WhatsApp or Instagram to ask about current availability.
