The Sacred Art of Anointing
The Art of Holy Anointing
For thousands of years in ancient temples and mystical traditions around the world, a secret lineage of deeply devoted priestesses—known as Scent Priestesses, Myrrh Bearers, and Myrrhophores—understood the alchemical magic and transformational power of holy anointing.
These Scent Priestesses anointed with consecrated holy oils—infused with intention, prayer, and the living light of Divine Love. With these sacred oils, they healed and blessed, celebrated and sanctified. They guided souls through initiations and rites of passage that honored the sacred rhythms of life, death, and rebirth
The most well-known scent priestess is Mary Magdalene, often depicted with an alabaster jar filled with Spikenard. Today, the art of holy anointing has returned, awakening in the soul-memory of those who carry the lineage of the Divine Feminine in their body, heart, and soul. Perhaps you, too, carry the memory of holy anointing. Perhaps you feel a stirring in your heart when you hear these sacred words.
Like Mary Magdalene and the priestesses who walked these lands before us, we, too, will practice holy anointing rituals at each sacred site. We will work with high frequency holy oils that have been used since ancient times. These blends act as conduits of divine energy, gently healing, uplifting, and guiding us home to a remembrance of our true divine essence. Every drop is a sacred prayer, a liquid treasure, a symphony of light. Every touch a consecration of the body as a holy temple of radiant love and limitless light.
Come, dear Sister, let yourself feel the kiss of Spirit upon your body as the holy oils work their alchemical magic. Simply open your sweet heart to receive this most ancient and holy blessing.
To anoint is to remember:
You are whole. You are holy. You are Light. You are Love.
Our Sacred Pilgrimage
Walk with us in The Way of Love.
Remember Who You Are
The Magdalene’s Prayer
You are more magnificent than you can imagine. Even if you expanded your vision of your greatest self a thousand times, it would still be just a fraction of who you are in truth. You are part of a timeless river of sacred stars that sings through your blood, breath, and bones, pulsing with every heartbeat and echoing through eternity. You hold the template of enlightened love in your heart and codes of light in your DNA. You hold the memory of healing in your hands, the kiss of Spirit in your sacred touch, and the light of miracles in your prayers.
Remember to remember, dear daughter of the Magdalene.
May The Way of Love guide your steps.
May the flame of remembrance burn ever bright within your heart.
May you walk as Love — for all beings, for all time.
You are an embodiment of Divine Love and Sacred Illumination.
Awaken to your true nature.
Each time a sister remembers the truth of who she is, the world blossoms anew.
Welcome home to your Holy Heart.
Scent Priestesses know that every act of devotion is a celebration of Spirit. Every offering of love is praise for the Divine. And every gift of grace is a blessing from the Goddess.
Love and Only Love
To come home to the beauty, mystery, and power of our own hearts.
To heed the call. To open the door.
The Magdalene is calling, waiting with open arms and gifts we can’t yet imagine.
Love and only love shows the way.
Can you hear Her whispering your name?
