Visionary Incense

And but one word with one of us? couple it with
something; make it a word and a blow.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

There seems little point in practicing magic unless you want to do at least a few extraordinary things with this incarnation.
-Peter J Carroll, The Octavo

Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
- Jim Butcher, Turn Coat

The starry-eyed idealists of today have submerged their critical faculties beneath a tidal wave of slop marketed by those old hippies who now sell a user-friendly dilution of their original enlightenment.
-Peter J Caroll, Psybermagick

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
- Blue Öyster Cult, Astronomy

Offering's a complicated business.

Another related point is that theological eclecticism to the tune of replacing this structure with pagan deities so it appeals to personal taste does the ritualist no favours as it undermines their ability to leverage a power dynamic that is better understood and has been employed countless times.
- Julio Cesar Ody, Magister Officiorum

Only fluffy bunnies need apply.

An incense to aid in visions, dreams, active imagining, scrying, etc. For use with The Forty Servants: The Idea, The Seer, The Witch, possibly The Media.

4 parts Elemi
2 Parts Breuzinho (Breu Claro)
2 Parts Aloeswood
2 parts Nutmeg
1 Part Cardamom

Grind the breuzinho, aloeswood and cardamom into a fine powder. You can approach the elemi in two ways: either freeze it and shatter/grind it and add to the other ingredients, or wait until your final compounding step and dissolve it in an alcohol (wine, whiskey...or a high proof vodka) that you will then add to the other ingredients.

As usual, this is my own recipe. If you share it or repost, please note where it came from.

I do have some incense blends in stock, prices range from $10-$15 for a half ounce. Please use the contact form for inquiries.
