Oh christener! Oh anointer of flesh!
"Christ" comes from the Greek word for one who is anointed in oil, also the meaning of the word Messiah in Hebrew. Mary Magdalene is associated with two events of anointing in the life of Jesus the Nazoraean, the first being the rather erotic act of anointing his feet with tears and expensive perfume and kissing them and wiping them with her hair. The second is when she went to his tomb as Myrrhbearer with Mary Salome and Mary Jacobae to anoint his body after the crucifixion.
This rich blend of essential oils of spikenard and myrrh, the oils found in the Mary Magdalene's anointing jar, in a traditional base of high quality olive oil is appropriate for use as a general blessing oil, during Gnostic Rituals, or during rites of sacred marriage. Mary Magdalene, the Apostle of the Apostles, the anointer of Christ, the Lady of Watchtowers, awaits her beloved, the Bringer of Light.
