Unction:

 Ceremonial anointment with oil. Unction is sometimes performed as an act of consecration. It is also used in rites for the severely ill or dying, as in the case of extreme unction.
In ceremonial magic, unction is often used as a symbol of the quest for initiation, or the dedication (consecration) of the magician to enlightenment. (See also Consecration; Theurgy)
