Spirit Smoke is a unique  Mermade blend, it is a new refined version of “Dream Snake, Oracular incense” that we have been creating for over 20 years...

An incense that speaks....

This is a mystical blend that can be used for Divination or  speaking to the Spirit world and the Ancestors, the perfect incense for Samhain and All Hallows

 It is a  self-igniting incense that can be used for "Libanomancy" or incense divination. 

It contains traditional psychoactive plant materials and resins and unusual aromatics. 

It should be used carefully and consciously in a sacred manner. This incense is created to not only release a lovely fragrance but also to create a magickal environment.  It has wonderful incense qualities with high herbal content. 

When using this blend be conscious of performing a ritual. It is not meant just to perfume the air, but to create a sacred space and be used as an aid to psychic work. Take your time and enjoy the ritual of incense. We recommend that you burn it outside in the Moonlight, or in a well-ventilated area. 

Remember this incense does not need charcoal or a heater to use, it has a self-igniting ingredient ( a natural mineral salt known as "Vesta Powder") added to the natural herbs, woods, and finely powdered resins. This mineral salt along with the Harmala Seeds lets Spirit Smoke burn like an oracular incense, with hisses, pops, and small flickers of flame. Very different from our other blends. 

Comes with  a cone incense mold

Contains:

- Oman  Frankincense 

 - Harmala Seeds (Syrian Rue) traditional oracular seeds of protection, known for the way they "speak" and pop to drive away evil. A very exciting little pyrotechnic display

- Bay Laurel leaves

 - Mysore Sandalwood powder,  top grade

- Sal resin  (Shorea robusta) “the deliverer of intoxicating resin” 

- Palo Santo Powder

- Agarwood powder

- Vesta Powder

- Datura "MoonFlowers", (flowers only) grown and harvested here during the summer. Used in many countries for journey work and in flying ointments (grown in our garden)

"The most beautiful feature of Daturas is certainly their trumpet-like flowers which emanate an unusual heady scent at dusk. The Datura bud unfolds its petals in a gorgeous spiral pattern, which is a beautiful example of the Fibonacci sequence in nature."

"In the mythology of Native Americans, Datura was a sacred plant used for both magical and medicinal purposes. Native American mythology is composed of traditional narratives and spiritual stories which are deeply rooted in nature. In such a religious system, rich with the symbolism of plants, Datura holds a special place. In the culture of aboriginal America, an area populated by Indian tribes living throughout the North and South continents, Datura was one of the most widely used hallucinogenic plants. The plant was prized for its ability to help mortals communicate with gods and with the spirits of the dead."

To Burn:

Place a small spoonful in a censer or bowl and shape it into a cone-like mound with your fingers - or - You can use the cone mold which is included with your order of Spirit Smoke. Just pack the flexible mold with incense powder and place it down on a flat surface and lift it to form a perfect cone.

After the cone or mound of incense is formed just light the top point.  It will begin to flame. Wait a few moments

It will then begin to smolder and smoke with small crackles, pops, and licks of flame.

It is a good idea to have a small bowl to place over the lit incense mound in case you want to extinguish it before it has burned completely.

You can use any ceramic bowl, plate, or natural flat stone to burn Spirit Smoke on. Does not generate as much heat as charcoal. 

Use this incense in a sacred way...That is how it is prepared.
