Spyrit Dancers' Musings On All Things Wiccan

SALE! I’m running a sale on my hand made cauldrons, hand ground powdered Full Moon incense, and charcoal tablets. Were $30, now only $20! I have three different styles, plus, if you want something different, I can custom paint them for you.

My husband and I worked on grinding up the ingredients to our next incense blend, banishing negativity, and we decided to make some self igniting incense. We divided the batch in half, keeping half for the type you burn on a charcoal tablet. Then we mixed it with 10% of a chemical (I’m leaving this unnamed as I don’t want someone to get hurt if they don’t know what they are doing). We tried to light it and it didn’t burn.

Unfortunately, I missed the page before and the 7 other ingredients you had to put in it, lol. Before I found that though, we upped that one ingredient from 10% to 20% and found out it created an incense that as it came close to burning out on a charcoal tab, suddenly flared into a 3″ flame with sparks.

So, we are keeping that 1/2 of the batch to ourselves. I just showed what it did to my brother yesterday when he was visiting, and he said the smell reminded him of his days in college when they burned church incense. He had a lot of pleasant memories of that. (He attended collage at a music/religious university)

It doesn’t surprise me that it smells similar, as I could see a church using some of the ingredients to try and banish what they perceived as negativity (or evil) from their ritual space (the church). I do know that burning it in our house, along with filling it up with a lot of smoke, has made the air feel lighter and more positive.

Although my husband and I do get a bit negative at times (our income has dropped quite a bit in this economy) we have a lot of confidence in our higher powers to pull us through and to be more successful coming out the other side. I know the Goddess and God are with us during the rough times, peanut butter sandwiches, and lack of being able to do anything like go out to eat, or watch TV. (we discontinued Direct TV to save money). And she is also inspiring us in our products to sell to other Wiccans to help our income to grow.

So look for our new incense in a few days. We have slowed down this week in getting new products up with enjoying visiting with my brother, but next week we will be back in full swing.

I LOVE incense, and we burn a lot of it in our home. Ever since reading Scott Cunningham’s Incense, Oils, & Brews book, I’ve been wanting to make my own incense. Well I just ordered the raw materials that I need on hand to start. I can’t wait. Figure some of them will take a good week to get here, but then we can start mixing. This is the first project my husband is really interested in too, as he has always liked mixing chemicals.

The recipes give me a good idea too what herbs I plan to plant in my garden so that I can grind them up into the blends. I also plan on making some unique blends by experimenting with different scents.

We plan on making combustible and non-combustible powder type incenses, so that if you want to burn it in a burner, or burn on charcoal.

I always love experimenting with something new. Which reminds me, time to whip out my dremel and work on more rune stone sets, I’m down to one. eeek!
