 Galbanum
Resin
Ferula
galbaniflua
Crowley associated this scent with the Element
of Air, and that is the case when it burns.
But raw it is an Earth
aroma. This stimulant resin
is taken from the roots of a Persian tree. Galbanum is often
used in perfume and in work involving learning, developing psychic abilities,
and contacting angels and the dead. In Liber Juratus, this resin is associated
with Libra. This is a soft, thick fluid that has been strained to
remove all the bark, plant fibers, bits of jute baling and whatnot usually found in raw
galbanum. It's fluid because it contains the full measure of
its natural essential oils, up to 60%. It is pure galbanum resin
and beautiful for binding incense. Warm it a little
to make it more fluid. Try it in Abramelin incense according to the recipe in
the German manucripts, historically accurate ketoret incense
from the Hebrew Bible, or Crowley's Tetragrammaton
incense (equal parts galbanum, storax, olibanum, and onycha). Galbanum is also known as
feshook.
