Long ago, shamans and witches discovered that perfumed resins from herbs and tree branches could be thrown into the fire to release their properties. Ever since then, incense has been an essential tool in magical rites, recognized for its ability to restore universal equilibrium.
Making incense requires a mortar and pestle and a collection of 4-ounce (115ml) lidded jars. The incense is burned on small charcoal cakes, available at all metaphysical stores. Safe burning requires either a censor or use of a fireproof glass or clay dish.
Simple Incense Recipes
* For peace of mind: Crush sandalwood, bay leaves, and amber resin together. Burn a small amount on a charcoal cake in your fireproof glass or clay dish on your altar and meditate. The plant damania can be added to increase concentration.
* For mastery of mind: Crush together equal parts cinnamon and resinous benzoin. You will achieve your goals by burning this combination.
* To enhance meditation: Mix equal parts white sandalwood and frankincense, and add one-fourth part white orrisroot. Add a drop of oil from one of the following plants: angelica, agrimony, or aloe. Use this during the day of a full moon or during any lunar ceremony.
