The Spiritual Significance

Dragon's blood is the deep red resin of the Daemonorops draco palm of Southeast Asia, and the related Dracaena draco of the Canary Islands, long burned across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East for protection and purification. Scott Cunningham places it under Mars and the element of Fire, naming protection, power, and exorcism among its workings. In hoodoo and folk magic its smoke is foundational, burned to cleanse and protect a space and to add force to a working, while the ground powder is also dusted into sachets, spell jars, and dressing powders to lend that same protective charge. Ground fine, it catches quickly on charcoal, so a small pinch goes a long way. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and strengthens the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Burn a pinch to protect and cleanse a space, or add it to a working to strengthen it.

How To Use

1. Light a charcoal disc. Hold a charcoal tablet with tongs and light its edge until it sparks across and begins to ash over, then set it in a heat-safe censer or burner half-filled with sand or ash.
2. Add a pinch of powder. Once the charcoal glows, sprinkle a small pinch of the powder on top; the fine resin catches and smokes quickly.
3. Set your intention. As the smoke rises, name what you are protecting, cleansing, or empowering, and add another pinch as needed.
4. Burn it safely. Use a heat-safe burner on a protected surface, keep tongs handy, burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, and never leave burning charcoal or incense unattended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need charcoal to burn it?

Yes. Dragon's blood resin powder will not light on its own. Sprinkle a pinch onto a glowing charcoal tablet in a heat-safe censer, and the heat releases the smoke.

What is the difference between the powder and the granular resin?

The powder is the same resin ground fine, so it catches and smokes quickly and blends easily into spell powders and sachets. The granular form is whole grains and shavings that burn a little slower. Choose the powder for a fast catch and for dressing work, the granular for a steady burn.

What is it used for?

Protection, purification, and amplification, cleansing and guarding a space, strengthening a working, and dressing sachets, jars, and powders.

How much should I use?

A small pinch. The resin throws a lot of smoke, so less is more, and a full pound supports a great many workings.

How do I burn it safely?

Use a heat-safe burner with sand or ash on a protected surface, handle hot charcoal with tongs, burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, and never leave it unattended.
