Burn Temple incense to create a temple atmosphere wherever you need to do magic. This is a simple recipe of my own creation, a blend of traditional sacred herbs, woods, and resins. Use it to sanctify any space for ritual or magick, and to invite Heavenly, Angelic and benevolent presences.
I grind Temple incense on the Sunday or Monday immediately preceding the Full Moon. The ingredients are then allowed to cure for at least two months to create a mellow, pleasing incense that is a suitable offering to the gods. You can use this as an all-purpose incense or general altar incense for any intention. Temple incense activates the Crown chakra and lifts the spiritual vibrations of any vicinity, and brings out the Higher Self in any participant.

How to Use
Natural Magick Shop incenses are ground in a mortar from resins, woods, herbs and spices. They have nothing in them which burns on its own, hence the need for a self-burning charcoal.
First you need something safe to burn your incense in. The charcoals used to burn resins get very hot. Use a burner made for resin incense, with a metal screen, a cast iron cauldron, or you can use a glass or ceramic bowl IF you put a layer of sand, marbles, aquarium pebbles or rocks to insulate glass or ceramic from the heat of the charcoal.
I often break the charcoals in half because they burn for nearly an hour. Light the charcoal with a lighter or match, and when it starts to spark, put it in the burner.
It is best to let the whole charcoal begin to glow before adding any incense. Then sprinkle on the incense as desired, a little bit at a time. If you add too much or cover the charcoal completely, you might put out the charcoal. Also, most natural resin incenses smell better when burned in small amounts at a time.
Keep away from kids and pets. Let the charcoal burn down completely, and make sure it's all ash before throwing out because it could set trash on fire. Advice from experience!
I don't clean the burner after every use. When there is a collection of ash in the burner, pour contents into strainer over the sink and rinse with water. Let dry, and put rocks back in burner. (If you use sand you'll just have to dump the whole mess and use fresh sand).
Store unused charcoal in a zip-lock bag or in a jar, because they won't burn well if they collect humidity from the air.
Enjoy!
