Misha (Mandaeism)

In Mandaeism, misha (Classical Mandaic: ࡌࡉࡔࡀ, romanized: miša) is anointing sesame oil used during rituals such as the masbuta (baptism) and masiqta (death mass), both of which are performed by Mandaean priests.[1][2]

In the Qolasta

Several prayers in the Qolasta are recited over the oil, including prayers 48, 63, and 73.[3] In some prayers, misha referred to as misha dakia, or "pure oil."
