Magickal Witch's Incense Workshop with The Wonky Witch

In this workshop we will be delving into the wonderful world of herbs, berries, woods, essential oils and resins from our Botanical Range to find out how you can mix and make your very own traditional hand blended incenses and for all your magickal workings.

Found in many religions dating back to antiquity, incense is an ancient ritual tool that draws on the aromatic powers of herbs, spices, oils, resins and tree barks to create a sacred atmosphere and a state of mind conducive to communing with the spirit world. Representing the element of Air (and in some traditions, the element of Fire), incense is considered to be a core component of sacred ritual, and is also often used as an adjunct to magick.

The most traditional way to use incense in ritual is to place a loose blend of dried herbs and resin granules in a censer. The censer may be hung from chains, like those used in the Catholic church, and carried around the circle as it is cast, then set to one side of the altar to burn throughout the ritual proceedings. Alternatively, some practitioners like to use a small cauldron as their censer, which harkens back to prior centuries.

During this workshop we will be making:

Hand Blended Loose Incense

Hand Made Incense Cones

Hand Made Incense Sticks

Why you should make your own loose incense blends?

Making your own incense blends is a great way to put your own intent into each ingredients for the specific use your blending for.

Burning dried herbs, berries and essential oils can not only help you in your magickal/spiritual practice but also help physically cleanse and purify the air you breathe. Burning incense before and during spellwork, ritual and meditations also helps you get into a particular mindset and can help aid in the desired outcome.
