Black Dragon Incense
Designed to honor a chthonic spirit who opens the
gates to forbidden wisdom, this incense is founded around opoponax,
that most mysterious resin. Once thought to be poisonous, the scent
of opoponax is a complex mix of bitter and sweet myrrh. The mythical
poisonousness of opoponax as well as the veneficium of forbidden
knowledge itself (the poison path) is realized in the addition of
deadly belladonna (just a hint), which we consider to be the most complex of the baneful
herbs. Earthy, woody vetiver root combines with patchouli and
galbanum, the scent of fresh soil, to represent the rootedness of
the dragon. The Fire aspect of the dragon, the quintessential chthonic
animal and creature of transformation, is here figured in the addition
of sweet fir needles and cypress, the wood of the dead. This
incense is excellent for honoring any chthonic spirit, especially
when the acquisition of knowledge is involved, and is perfect
for working with Belial and other entities mentioned in the grimoires.
