The act of anointing is an old religious ritual in which holy oils are applied
upon a person to purify him or her spiritually. This ceremonial act is an old
tradition of priests, nuns and other clergymen and it has been practiced by
different cultures over centuries. Most oils used in the ritual are considered
natural and the oils themselves are typically quite common ones but there are
stories of clergymen applying miracle oils to bestow magical blessings. One
should also be careful when dealing with fire, as most oils can be highly
flammable and instead of anointing a sudden spark could be mean a recipe for
disaster.
