 Frankincense
Boswellia
spp.
The dried gummy resin of
these trees is probably the most famous incense in the Western world.
A Fire and Sun associated scent, it is good for spiritual development, centering
oneself for meditation or other spiritural work, purifying areas of negative
energy, and for finding the spiritual side of what appears to be a material
matter. Some use it to clean chakras, especially the Third Eye. It
is fabulous for smudging yourself, your animals, and your home when
you are the target of negative magick. The fragrance is very relaxing
and gives one a feeling of wholeness and wellness. The scent of this
resin changes
as it ages (and the water in the resin evaporates) and with the temperature.
Resin just unpacked from a cold box is going to smell different than
it will after it has warmed up. Some people prefer their frankincense fresh;
others would rather let it age. Put some aside to let it age and see which
you like better. Top

  My
regular
frankincense is a good incense grade harvested from the Boswellia
carterii tree in Kenya. It has the classic, churchy
scent and comes in either small tears (on the left), which are nice for blends, or mixed
sizes of tears (on the right), so you can sort out the bigger pieces and grind the small ones. Top
