Mabon Ritual Incense

Here’s the yummy incense recipe I used for  my Celtic Mabon sabbat ritual this year.  It’s from the brilliant Scott Cunningham’s book “Incense, Oils and Brews”.  The title always makes me tingle.  I love the word brews!

I have a gorgeous cherry wood pestle and mortar I use for all my incense and grinding needs.  When I’m making each incense, I magickally charge it with whatever it’s use is destined for, whether a magic spell for a need or a simple offering of thanks.

I am always alone, focused on my goal and either in silence or speaking out loud of my intent for the mixture or to the living residing behind each ingredient.  This gives it its potency of course, otherwise how does it have a potency!
