44 Days of Witchery Day 11: Witchy Tools: Oils

I don't use oils very often. My coven has a tradition of anointing at the beginning of every ritual. We usually use a citrine oil because that's our coven stone, but seeing as to how it's a stone, I actually have no idea what's in the oil. The only other purpose I've found for oils is dressing candles, which I never do largely in part because I don't perform any candle-magick though I suppose I could dress candles lit for the deities. Oils have just never been my thing.

How do you use oils?
