Ok.. I am wanting to do a clarriying 'ritual' for myself. I bought 3 white candles for the job. i was thinking about carving into the candles rune symbols, and using somekind of oil on the candles as well.. maybe patchouli? Would this work? Is Patchouli good for using as a purifying type oil? I know its really grounding... but would it work for this purpose? I am wanting to cleanse my aura.. and just get in tuned with my inner self more. Any ideas??

Does patchouli smell and "feel" like a purifying oil to you? If it does, then it's okay to use. Rituals work because they mean something to you, not because they mean something to a stranger, regardless of what kind of education/spiritual experience they have.
There isn't much more to add for me because of how personal rituals must be to work.
A note to the point grabbers and text-thumpers, religion makes absolutely no difference in this case. Christians do purifying rituals too. What do you think baptism is?

Actually, a bit of your own saliva would work nicely as the ritual is for you.
Patchouli does not really have any purifying qualities, but if in your mind you associate it with purifying by all means, use it. You could opt for plain vegetable oil.
Whatever you use, charge it with your intent.

Maybe smudge some sage in your work area before you begin? Always helpful to cleanse your space, purify the outside and the in... it is your ritual, so do with it as you will, just be clear of your intent before you start.
Namaste!

I'm a Celt and I am insulted that you associate Celts with witches, pagans, wiccans and neopagans.
What a horrid and insulting thing to say!!!
