Incense: #Handmade at #Anarres #Apothecary 100% #EssentialOil. The #Holy #Anointing Oil described in #Exodus 30:22-25 was created from 500 shekels (about 6 kg) of #myrrh, half as much (about 3 kg) of fragrant #cinnamon, 250 shekels (about 3 kg) of fragrant #cane (kanabos, variously translated as #calamus or #cannabis), 500 shekels (about 6kg) of #cassia, and a hin (about 4 L) of #olive oil.
I use authentic ingredients (essential oils of calamus, cassia, cinnamon and myrrh) in proportions adjusted for the use of therapeutic grade essential oils (rather than macerated, powdered or from resins).
The oil was used to anoint the vessels of the Tabernacle 30:26 and the High Priest and is traditionally regarded as the oil used by prophets to anoint Saul, David, and other kings of ancient #Israel.
Here is the recipe for Jewish Holy Oil from the #Bible:
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels], And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compounded after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. (Exodus 30:22-33)
The Bible lists five ingredients: Myrrh, Cinnamon, Cassia, Calamus, and Olive oil.
The four ingredients listed by Abraham of Worms in "The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" are Myrrh, Cinnamon, Calamus, and Olive oil.
Since Cinnamon and Cassia are two species of the same Cinnamomum genus, their doubling up into one name by the medieval author Abraham of Worms is not unexpected. His reasons for doing so may have been prompted by a pious decision to avoid duplicating true Holy Oil, or by a tacit admission that in medieval Europe, it was difficult to obtain Cinnamon and Cassia as separate products.
Made with only pure essential oils, not fragrances, chemicals or DPG, this magickal handmade incense incorporates essences from the Jewish Holy anointing oil of the Tanakh, described in the Book of Exodus of Moses: cinnamon leaf, calamus (sweet flag), cassia, and myrrh.

Q. I am getting into the natural things. How do you burn the incense ?
Thanks,
*()
A.Hello *(),
You burn my incense the same way you burn any other incense. Light the tip of the stick or cone. When there is an ember glowing on the end, blow the flame out. (If you don't blow the flame out, the incense may begin to smoke.) Then place your incense on a burn proof surface such as a ceramic or metal dish. Sticks can be stuck into a plant pot or stick incense burner.
Does that help?
