Burning incense is a holy practice all over the world. The variance in materials of a certain preparation is one of the most interesting studies for the aromatically inclined.
Recipes from scripture using plant, mineral, and animal sources reflect local ingredients as well as those from distant cultures. It shows us a dynamic old world where goods passing along ancient routes played a vital role in OPR (other people’s rituals!). Many materials are lost to antiquity with disputing ideas of what a cool-sounding ingredient like “Onycha” actually was.
This candle uses aromatics that have been used since before The Bible, for an exciting throw of sacred levant resins, and rare materials that came from India and Africa.
