I was sitting around, staring at my herb collection, when I suddenly thought, "I should make something." I feel like I spend too much time on my blog showing things off, talking about stuff, but never actually creating or doing workings, so here's a step in the right direction. I decided to make a protection incense; I have some good recipes for it, and it's easy to do. I started off with one of Cunningham's recipes from "Oils, Incenses, and Brews" but then altered it to suit my taste. It called for Dragon's Blood, but that makes such a mess, I substituted Rosemary instead.
Anyway, here's the final recipe:
1 tbs. Frankincense
1 tbs. Myrhh
1/2 tbs. Cloves
1/2 tbs. Rosemary
I ground them all up in my mortar and pestle. I probably should have used powdered cloves instead of whole ones, as they were hard to crush, but I think it turned out well in the end. It smells awesome! Haven't put any to use yet, though. Here's some pics, enjoy. You can see a spell candle burning off to the left.
