13 Herbs Incense
Frankincense 1 pinch
This was an experiment to see if I could combine 13 ingredients. And
have it turn out well! I originally planned on having 13 different
ingredients....but....the Rosemary Oil is a repetition of the herb
Rosemary.
*Note: 29 drops of Rosemary is way way way too much!
After sitting a week, it was even stronger!

December Full Moon Incense
Frankincense one pinch
I mixed in this order in a marble mortar. Grinding the Sweet Grass
was the hardest. Should have cut it up small with scissors instead
of trying to grind it down. Ended up pinching it into smaller bits
with my nails.
The texture was very dry before adding the oil. The addition of the
oil made this incense like dry cookie dough....kind of crumbly.
Burning it was a treat! Very little smoke in terms of other
incenses I have made. Wonder why? Maybe because I didn't use my
normal base of Witch Hazel leaves? I will have to experiment. This
left a nice floral smell all over.

KALI INCENSE

ATHENE OIL & INCENSE
The olive is sacred to Athene, so use pure olive oil as anointing oil in particular, rub between the palms of your hands and anoint your feet, forehead and lips. For the Incense:
1 oz (30gm) Cedar wood chips
Blend the first four ingredients well, at the full moon, and add the olives. Put in a jar and leave for one month to mature. Then remove the olives (Which will have imparted their essence to the rest) and throw them away. Stuffed olives, both black and green, are an obvious food for a ritual of Athene, also stuffed vine leaves, a very Athenian dish. If possible, of course, the wine should be Greek - especially retsina, though that is an acquired taste.

Meg Bradley`s Purification Incense
Needed:
mortar and pestle
Put equal parts of the herbs in the mortar and grind them with pestle. As you
grind, focus your intent on the purifying qualities of the herbs, and project
your intent into the herbs, charging them with magickal energy. If you don`t
have a mortar and pestle, you can use a food processor, but the physical effort of grinding the herbs by hand is magically more effective because it helps to
focus intent. If you like you can chant while grinding, perhaps something like:
"Parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage
(or you could sing the folk song "Scarborough Faire," which has "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" in the chorus!). When finished put the incense in an airtight container and store away from light.
Burn this incense on a charcoal briquette when magickal purification is
needed. It has a pungent odor, so be sure you have plenty of ventilation. You
may wish to experiment with the proportions of the herbs to adjust the scent
according to your own personal tastes.
A note on the herbs used: Parsley, rosemary, and thyme can be found in any
grocery store. White sage (sagebrush) is sold at metaphysical shops and other
stores that sell supplies for Native American religious practices. If you can’t
find white sage, you can substitute regular kitchen sage. This herb is not
usable for purification, but it does have a quality of magickal protection, so
using it would make a purification/protection incense.
Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE PEBBLE INCENSE
Once upon a time, pebble incense was one of the things that nearly every
young woman in the English-speaking world knew how to make before she left
her parents' home. Like many of the forgotten crafts of our great-grandparents' time, it's well worth reviving.
What You'll Need:
A mortar and pestle, a mixing bowl and spoon, and a flat surface covered with
wax paper are all the equipment that you'll need. Ingredients consist of the
herbs, flowers, and other scented material you intend to use in the incense,
the essential oil or oils, and the whites of one or more eggs, depending on
the quantity you want to make.
How It's Done:
Grind up the solid ingredients thoroughly in the mortar, then pour the
powder into the mixing bowl and add the essential oil a drop at a time,
stirring between drops to disperse the oil. When the mixture smells right,
begin stirring in the egg white a little at a time until the mixture is
moistened all the way through, but not yet sloppy. On the wax paper,
roll small amounts of the mixture into little balls one-third to
one-half inch across. Dry these until hard; if you live in a humid climate,
drying them in an oven set on "warm" may be a good idea. Put one or two
of the resulting pebbles on hot charcoal to release the scent.

Jasmine:
As a well-used scent, Jasmine provides strength in matters of spiritual love and money. It has a soothing effect on the inner-self and lends its scent well to meditation and contemplation. You may experience dreams of a visionary nature, thus triggering further thought processes. Pay close attention. Jasmine acts as a conduit for knowledge you are given from sources not always distinct. Jasmine is of the feminine principle and is ruled by the moon. Any moon ritual or meditation will be enhanced by the scent of jasmine.
Sandalwood:
Also feminine with the moon as ruler, Sandalwood is a necessary item in your spiritual cupboard because of its potent protection properties. As a sealer for entrances,gently blow the smoke of sandalwood around the doors and windows of your home, or leave some to burn in the entryways. Sandalwood powder mixed with your potting soil adds strength to the plant's root system. Sprinkle the powder lightly at the four corners of your property, calling on the moon as an energy source for the shield you build to reflect negativity away from your home.
Cinnamon:
Is an extraordinarily potent masculine scent ruled by the sun. Burned as protection, it's unequalled. In a sick room (not burned, merely its presence) it will help to dispel the negative energy of the illness itself. Cinnamon can be used for love work. And lends great strength to any lusty venture. (Specialty coffees dressed with a cinnamon stick for e.g.. )
Rose:
As a feminine scent, ruled by Venus, rose stands out as a scent to be reckoned with in relation to love. When doing a reading or divination, use rose oil or rose incense for more clarity in matters of the heart. Let the under-essence of the scent capture you as you divine the images. The expression "rose colored glasses" has a distinct meaning within the scent experience. Rose picks up the spirit, sooths the angered soul and relaxes a space.
Pine:
Mars rules this incredibly strong scent. Masculine and potent, pine has many facets. The two strongest, in this writer's opinion, are prosperity and ridding an area of spiritual interference. This may be exactly why pine is used at Yule/Christmas. Unconsciously, people may be aware of a "clean" feeling about their home during this time. An uncluttering, if you prefer.
Patchouli:
As a scent to attract lusty ventures, Patchouli certainly ranks up there with the most potent. A feminine scent ruled by Saturn, Patchouli brings out an almost primal evocation of memories for some people. When mixed two parts patchouli to one part sandalwood, it makes a lovely scent for women. Using the essential oil Patchouli, some find it unpleasantly "turpentine" smelling. Depending on your purpose, patchouli can be mixed with many other oils to take the edge off the scent itself. It works well with sandalwood, poppy oil and musk.
Saffron:
As fiery Saffron's color shows, the Sun rules this masculine scent. It has healing powers, but its extraordinary vein of strength lies in its power to greatly enhance psychic work. Any type of exercise of the psyche is made more powerful by burning saffron. The power (prohibitively expensive some areas) is well-added to incense mixtures which will be used for divination, dreams and channeling.
Finally, for traditionalists, here is the most famous of all incenses, the
classic blend of ancient Egypt. There are many different recipes for kyphi,
even in documents dating from the time of the pharaohs. The following
version is based on two of the surviving accounts from Egyptian papyri.
Take two parts each of juniper berries, galangal root, calamus root,
frankincense, and pine resin; one part each of orris root, broom flowers,
myrrh, and styrax; three parts each honey and raisins; and enough red wine
to moisten the final result. Pound the raisins into a paste, and mix with
the honey; grind all the other ingredients (except the wine, of course)
together in a mortar, and mix the result into the honey and raisin mixture,
moistening with the wine as needed to produce a paste. Roll the result
into little balls, and let dry thoroughly before storing.(source=unknown)
3 tsp Frankincense
Grind and mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Let sit in an air tight container for two weeks. In a separate bowl mix the oils, wine, honey and raisens. Add to dry ingredients and blend together with hands. Let sit in air-tight container for an additional 2 weeks then grind into a fine powder.

Wolves do an ancient dance
By conception is this magick
Formed
Wolves are born once more
A soul returns again
Transformed
Wolves are of the of Earth
In their body dark
Perceive
Wolves breathe the still night air
In their mind light
Believe
Wolves in hunger feed the flame
In honor may they fulfill
Passion
Wolves drink from the crystal brook
Deep and ancient bond
Love
Wolves living deep in the spirit
Know how cold Luna shines
Wisdom
Wolves whimper and whine at death
Their soul returns once more
Reborn
