Our Aphrodite ritual honeyed loose incense honors the Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. This blend is handmade with herbs, resins, and honey. It contains pink lady apple peels, blood orange peel, pomegranate peel, rose petals, cardamom, juniper berries, red sandalwood, and black pepper. Each item is ground and combined with honey, in a similar style to but distinct from kyphi incense. Each batch is pressed into a condensed layer of a jar and stored in a cool, dark place. It sleeps in its chthonic resting place for a moon cycle before being awoken and reborn into this life. It’s broken up, clumps loosened like packed dirt overturned for planting with the seeds of your workings.
This honeyed loose incense is not self-lighting and needs an external heat source, such as a charcoal disk or tealight in a compatible incense burner. It comes in a 2oz glass jar with a cork lid. Each jar has a label featuring art of the Gallae based on a historical source and recreated by your local tricksters, to honor them as our incense teachers. Labels also include the ingredients included.
We recommend shaking the bottle before each use to loosen any clumps and wake the incense again from its rest to prepare it for your workings.
