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, one of the most reached-for materials in protection and conjure work. 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, to add power and force to a working, and to seal and guard what has been done. These HEM sticks carry that classic dragon's blood scent in an easy-to-burn form. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and strengthens the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to protect and cleanse a space, to empower a working, or to set a strong, guarded tone.

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 resinous scent fills the room, name what you are protecting, cleansing, or empowering.
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.
