Myrrh is one of the oldest sacred resins, burned since antiquity in the temples and tombs of the ancient Near East and Egypt. Scott Cunningham places myrrh under the Moon and the element of Water, naming protection, purification, healing, and spirituality among its powers. Its deep, warm, slightly bitter smoke has long been reached for to consecrate a space, deepen prayer and meditation, and form a protective, grounding atmosphere. As a hand-rolled stick from Madre Tierra, that old resin tradition carries into easy daily use. The incense does not act on its own; it scents and settles the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to purify and protect a space or to deepen meditation and prayer.

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 deep, resinous scent fills the room, name the purification, protection, or prayer you are setting.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.

• Hindu Sandal Incense Sticks by Madre Tierra: a grounding sandalwood from the same maker.
