The Spiritual Significance

Frankincense and myrrh are among the oldest sacred resins, burned together on temple altars from ancient Egypt and the Near East onward. In the Western magical tradition frankincense is attributed to the Sun, lifting and clarifying, and myrrh to the Moon, grounding and protecting, so the pair holds a balanced, full-spectrum sacred quality. Scott Cunningham lists frankincense for protection, purification, and spiritual elevation, and myrrh for protection, healing, and consecration. Burned together on charcoal, they are reached for to purify and consecrate a space, to open prayer or meditation, and to bless ritual tools in the rising smoke. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and elevates the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Burn a pinch to purify and bless a space, to open a working, or to set a sacred, elevated tone.

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 resin. Once the charcoal glows, drop a small pinch of the granules on top and let the warm, resinous smoke rise.
3. Set your intention. As the smoke fills the space, name what you are purifying, blessing, or consecrating, 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

Warm, resinous, and balsamic, frankincense bright and piney over myrrh's deeper, earthier base. It is the classic sacred temple scent.

What is it used for?

Purification and consecration, clearing and blessing a space, opening prayer or meditation, and consecrating ritual tools in the smoke.

How much should I use?

A small pinch. The resin throws plenty of smoke, so less is more, and this starter size supports 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.
