The Spiritual Significance

Frankincense is among the oldest and most revered of all ritual incenses, burned for thousands of years in temples and on altars across the ancient world as an offering, a purifier, and a carrier of prayer. Its warm, balsamic, resinous smoke is reached for to purify and bless a space, to lift and elevate the spirit, and to deepen prayer, meditation, and consecration. Scott Cunningham places frankincense under the Sun and the element of Fire, naming spirituality, protection, and purification among its powers. These sticks bring that sacred resin into an easy-to-burn form, with no charcoal required. The incense does not act on its own; it purifies and lifts the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to cleanse and bless a space, to raise the energy for prayer or meditation, or to consecrate a tool or altar.

How To Use

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
3. Set your intention. As the warm, resinous scent fills the room, name what you are purifying, blessing, or praying for.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of curtains and drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
