Frankincense Resin

In modern magical traditions, frankincense is often used as a purifier – burn the resin to cleanse a sacred space, or use the essential oils* to anoint an area that needs to be purified, mix with other herbs to give a magical boost.

1 Oz bag

To burn your frankincense resin, you will need:

• A pea-sized piece of resin or a ½ tsp (about 2 grams) scoop of powdered resin.
• Charcoal tablet or “puck”.
• Censer (heat-resistant dish or plate).
• Lighter and tongs.
• A small amount of sand or ash.

Steps to burn frankincense resin:

• Gather a small mound of sand or ash in your censer.
• Light your charcoal tablet until it begins to spark. Place it down on the sand/ash mound (using tongs), and allow it to continue burning until it has burned enough for a thin layer of ash to cover the charcoal tablet.
• Place your resin on the charcoal tablet and allow it to burn.
