There are moments in life that do not fit neatly into the categories of ordinary experience. The anniversary of a loss that still carries weight years later. The specific quality of missing someone who is no longer here in a way that has no practical resolution. The quiet, unhurried contemplation of the larger mysteries, what life is for, what lies beyond it, what we owe to those who came before us and what they might still, in some form, owe to us. These moments do not require action or resolution or the kind of productive, results-oriented intention that most ritual practice is designed to support. They require something quieter. The specific quality of creating a space that honors what cannot be resolved, that sits with what cannot be answered, and that holds the mystery with genuine reverence rather than the anxious urgency of needing it to become something more manageable than it actually is. Between Worlds is for making that space.
The Between Worlds Anointing Oil from House of Cleo Devine is a ritual oil designed to create a peaceful atmosphere for meditation, remembrance, quiet reflection, and the specific practice of honoring life's mysteries with the reverence and stillness they deserve. It is part of The Mystic Collection, the House of Cleo Devine line built around the specific frequencies of expanded perception, inner knowing, and the dimensions of experience that exist beyond the immediately visible and immediately rational. Where Temple Smoke creates sacred space for active ritual and Spirit Keeper accompanies formal spiritual practice, Between Worlds is designed for the quieter, less purposeful, more genuinely contemplative space between things, the meditation that is not trying to achieve anything, the remembrance that does not need to be healed, the reflection that does not need to arrive anywhere in particular.
The scent was chosen specifically for this oil because fragrance is one of the most direct pathways to energetic frequency, and Between Worlds needed to smell like sacred space that has been inhabited by loss and beauty in equal measure and has become richer for both. Warm and deeply resinous on the opening with the specific sacred quality of Temple Smoke, it is deepened here by a heavier, more luxurious second layer of dark resinous complexity that adds genuine weight, genuine contemplative depth, and a quality of ancient, sacred sorrow that the simpler purity of Temple Smoke does not carry. The combination feels more layered, more complex, and more genuinely contemplative than Temple Smoke's cleaner version, built for the specific quality of sitting with something rather than actively working within it. It is the most layered and quietly sorrowful fragrance in The Mystic Collection, carrying the specific quality of a space that holds both the sacred and the grief without requiring either to resolve into the other. It smells like the specific atmosphere of a space set apart for something that cannot be named more precisely than mystery. It smells like between.
What this oil does:
The Between Worlds oil is blended to work on the specific frequency of contemplative remembrance and sacred stillness in the face of life's unresolvable mysteries, the energetic quality of creating and inhabiting a space of genuine reverence rather than productive intention. It works on the meditation atmosphere channel, creating the specific energetic conditions in which meditation that is not trying to achieve a particular outcome, that is simply sitting with the quality of genuine stillness and genuine mystery, feels genuinely supported and genuinely meaningful rather than purposeless. It works on the remembrance layer, supporting the specific quality of peaceful, reverent, unhurried holding of those who are no longer here, the energetic conditions in which remembrance can be genuinely experienced rather than quickly resolved or avoided. It works on the quiet reflection frequency, creating the atmospheric conditions in which the most honest, most unhurried, most genuinely contemplative quality of self-reflection becomes possible, the kind that is not trying to solve a problem or reach a conclusion but simply to be with what is honestly there. It works on the mystery honoring channel, supporting the specific quality of genuine reverence in the face of what cannot be known, the ability to sit with the great questions of existence without the anxious urgency of needing them answered. Applied consistently whenever any of these specific contemplative needs arise, it creates the accumulated sacred atmosphere of a practice that has learned to honor what it cannot resolve.
How to use:
Between Worlds is strictly a meditation oil and is designed for the specific contemplative purposes of remembrance, quiet reflection, and honoring life's mysteries rather than for active working, intention-setting, or results-oriented practice.
To anoint your wrists and heart center before meditation: Apply to your wrists and your heart center before sitting for any meditation session whose purpose is quiet contemplation, remembrance, or the specific practice of sitting with life's mysteries rather than resolving them. As you apply the oil, release any agenda for the session. There is nothing to achieve here. There is only the quality of genuine presence with what is.
To anoint a candle for a remembrance or contemplative session: Apply the oil from base to tip of an unlit candle while holding the person, the mystery, or the quality of quiet reflection you are honoring, then light it and allow its presence to hold the sacred, contemplative atmosphere as you sit. White candles carry the most aligned frequency for this use.
To anoint a photograph or memorial object: Apply a small amount to the corners or back of a photograph of someone you are remembering, or to any object that carries memorial significance, creating the specific energetic connection between the oil's sacred, between-worlds atmosphere and the act of reverent remembrance.
To anoint a contemplative journal: Apply to the cover or corners of any journal used for the specific kind of quiet, unhurried, genuinely contemplative writing that does not try to solve or conclude but simply to be honestly present with whatever is there.
To anoint a remembrance or meditation altar: Apply to the surface or perimeter of any altar, remembrance space, or area set aside for quiet contemplation, building the accumulated sacred atmosphere of genuine between-worlds reverence over time.
To anoint bath water before a deep contemplative session: Add a few drops to a warm bath taken specifically as preparation for a session of quiet reflection or remembrance, using the deep, layered, sacred quality of the fragrance to establish the specific atmosphere of reverent stillness before sitting.
For best results use only for its specific intended purpose, quiet meditation, remembrance, and the contemplation of life's mysteries, understanding that Between Worlds is not a working oil and is not designed to produce outcomes, attract results, or support active intention practice, but rather to create the specific sacred atmosphere in which what cannot be resolved can be genuinely, reverently held.
This oil pairs with:
The Between Worlds Anointing Oil pairs with the contemplative and remembrance crystal pieces in the collection, including the Moonstone Cube Bead Bracelet, the Amethyst Cube Bead Bracelet, and the Rose Quartz pieces in the collection. Within The Mystic Collection it sits alongside Temple Smoke and Spirit Keeper as the most sacred and ceremonially still of the three, distinguished from Temple Smoke by its greater complexity and contemplative weight and from Spirit Keeper by its specific orientation toward remembrance and mystery rather than formal spiritual practice. It pairs most naturally with Ancestor's Light from The Protection & Spiritual Collection for those who want both the ancestral honoring of Ancestor's Light and the deeper, more contemplative, grief-acknowledging sacred atmosphere of Between Worlds working together in a complete remembrance practice.
Scent profile:
Deep, layered, and quietly sacred with genuine contemplative weight. Warm resinous sacred quality on the opening shared with Temple Smoke, deepened by a heavier more luxurious second layer of dark resinous complexity that adds genuine weight, ancient sorrowful depth, and a quality that the simpler purity of Temple Smoke does not carry. More layered and contemplative than Temple Smoke, built for sitting with rather than working within. The most layered and quietly sorrowful fragrance in The Mystic Collection. It smells like a space that holds both the sacred and the grief without requiring either to resolve into the other. It smells like between.
Care and use notes:
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Patch test before use if you have sensitive skin. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the fragrance and botanical integrity of the oil. When using in bath water, use sparingly. When anointing candles, apply before lighting and never leave burning candles unattended.
This oil is for you if:
You want a dedicated ritual oil for the specific contemplative practices of remembrance, quiet reflection, and sitting with life's unresolvable mysteries rather than a working oil designed to produce outcomes or support active intention. You want a ritual oil that integrates into a complete remembrance and contemplation practice, meditation sessions, candle rituals, memorial objects, contemplative journaling, remembrance altars, and pre-session bath rituals, carrying the between-worlds frequency into every touchpoint of a practice that honors what cannot be resolved. You are drawn to a deep, layered, luxuriously resinous and sacred fragrance as a dedicated sensory anchor for the specific quality of reverent stillness in the face of mystery and loss. You want to gift the most contemplatively sorrowful and genuinely sacred oil in The Mystic Collection to someone who is in a season of grief, remembrance, or the specific kind of quiet that comes from sitting with the great unanswerable questions of existence.
Q: What is the Between Worlds anointing oil and what does it do?
The Between Worlds anointing oil is a ritual oil designed to create a peaceful atmosphere for meditation, remembrance, quiet reflection, and honoring life's mysteries. It is strictly a meditation and contemplative oil rather than a working oil, designed to create and hold the specific sacred atmosphere in which what cannot be resolved can be genuinely, reverently held rather than to produce outcomes or support active intention practice.
Q: How is Between Worlds different from Temple Smoke and Spirit Keeper?
Temple Smoke creates sacred space for active ritual and ceremonial practice. Spirit Keeper accompanies formal spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, and journaling with a specific intention for depth and wisdom. Between Worlds is designed for the quieter, less purposeful space between things, the remembrance that does not need to be healed, the mystery that does not need to be answered, the meditation that is not trying to achieve anything but simply to be genuinely, reverently present with what is.
Q: What does this oil smell like?
Between Worlds opens with the warm resinous sacred quality of Temple Smoke, deepened by a heavier, more luxurious layer of dark resinous complexity that adds genuine weight, ancient sorrowful depth, and a contemplative quality that Temple Smoke's simpler version does not carry. It is the most layered and quietly sorrowful fragrance in The Mystic Collection and was chosen specifically because it smells like a space that holds both the sacred and the grief without requiring either to resolve.
Q: Is this oil appropriate to use during grief?
Yes. Between Worlds is specifically designed to support the contemplative, reverential dimension of grief, the quiet sitting with loss, the acts of remembrance, and the specific quality of being present with what cannot be resolved rather than trying to move through it more quickly than it is ready to move. It is not a healing oil in the active sense but a holding oil, creating the sacred atmosphere in which grief can simply be what it is.
Q: Which crystal pieces does this oil pair with?
The Between Worlds anointing oil pairs with the contemplative and remembrance crystal pieces in the House of Cleo Devine collection, including the Moonstone Cube Bead Bracelet, the Amethyst Cube Bead Bracelet, and any Rose Quartz pieces in the collection. It pairs most naturally with Ancestor's Light from The Protection & Spiritual Collection for a complete remembrance practice.
