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.
