Dark Fae Ritual Loose Incense Blend

This small batch, ritual loose incense blend honors the Dark Fae, also known as the Fae of the Mound, dokkalfar, svaltalfar, Unseelie, and many other titles. They are found in many cultures, with each version unique but sharing connections with their other Dark Fae cousins. These intermediary spirits, somewhere between mortals and gods, are known for their mischief, ties to the ancestors, the household, and burial sites such as mounds. Many are less than friendly to humans, but make fierce allies to those who befriend them. They're often associated with the Dark Time of Year, with the Unseelie Court thought to begin their reign at Samhain and yield their throne to the Seelie Court at Beltane. They are also often linked with the Wild Hunt that occurs around the Yule/New Year's season. 

Our incense in their honor includes Irish sea moss, cedar tips, mistletoe, elderflower, Icelandic moss, juniper berries, pine needles, rose petals, red clover, and black pepper. This incense is honey cured in a style reminiscent of kyphi incense. Honey, included as an offering, is blended by hand evenly into the incense before it's compressed into an even layer and allowed to cure for a lunar cycle. When its curing is complete, the incense is broken up and appears as you see in the photos. 

Each jar contains approximately 1.7oz of incense. To burn this blend, place the incense on a secondary heat source, such as a lit charcoal disc in a fire-safe container. It can also be burned above a tealight using an incense burner designed with such functions. Please do not leave fire of any sort burning unattended.
