Various oils have a long and rich history of ritual and ceremonial use in various cultures around the world. The efficacy of scented oils has been based on the belief that scents have the power to influence people and objects. In many rituals, oils symbolize purity, holiness, and power. They represent a transition from ordinary everyday life to a sacred state.
Oils are used, for example, in anointings that symbolize consecration, blessing, or authority. This may involve, for example, the installation of the priesthood or the consecration of the object of a ritual. In ancient Egyptian funeral ceremonies, the priest was required to anoint himself with certain oils before pronouncing words that ensured the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife. In the rituals of different churches and denominations, oils are used in varying ceremonies and meanings.
