Uses
Frankincense is used for purification, blessing, consecration, protection, exorcism, and high spiritual work. Its long ritual history makes it especially suited to preparing sacred space, dedicating tools, or marking the beginning of formal ritual.
In Practice
Burn a small amount of resin on a proper heatproof incense setup with good ventilation, or use a prepared incense blend to cleanse an altar or ritual tools. It can also be incorporated into consecration work when dedicating candles, talismans, or sacred objects.
Cautionary Notes
Resin smoke can be intense indoors; ensure adequate ventilation.
