Moon
This incense is used in many rituals and is a common spell component. It is an i
ncense of increase that is deceivingly easy to make.
Use all of your focus and energy, your will and intention, while making this sce
nt.
It is used over charcoals (the ones specifically made for incense) or over a ri
tual fire.
CAUTION If used over a ritual fire, flames will leap up along the
dust trail of this incense powder! There will be sparkling (sparks) of incense o
utside
of this trail of flames as well!
This is an impressive effect, but dangerous if you are
not practiced at it! Start out small and toss about 1 teaspoon of it over the gl
owing
coals or flames, all at once, dont trail the dust or sprinkle it. Stand away fr
om the fire,
and upwind. Use in areas that do not require burn permits, and have something to
douse the fire nearby. Do not use if you are wearing gauzy or loose ritual robes
and costumes.
Within the three days prior to the actual full moon, but not after! Gather the i
ngredients
required, along with a pestle and mortar to blend them in. If desired, you can u
se your cauldron, and some sort of crushing or mixing tool.
1 ounce (about 30 grams) of the finest sandalwood powder you can find (santalum
album)
5 grams (a marble sized nugget) of amber resin, NOT the stone! The soft, sweet
smelling resin that is often imported from India, available at health food store
s,
and of course herb and Witch shops.
3 drops of vanilla essential oil. NOT the perfume or fragrance oil, only
true vanilla from the orchid (Vanilla planifolia or Vanilla aromatica) If this i
s cost
prohibitive or unavailable, use real vanilla extract available at most any groce
ry store.
Preferably outside, under the actual full moon, or indoors near a window where t
he moon is visible: Fill the mortar or cauldron with the sandalwood powder, and
crush the amber into it with the pestle or tool of your choice. Use clockwise or
deosil blending motions.
Focus on the energy of the full moon, or if you are making the incense for a spe
cific spell, focus on the goal of that spell alone. You can incorporate your fav
orite words of power or chant while doing this.
When the powder is smooth and consistent, add the vanilla, one-drop at a time wh
ile saying your chosen words of power, (which is best) or the following (which w
ill suffice in most cases):
Drop of moon, grant my boon.
Blend in the drops in the same way you blended in the amber resin. Place the mix
ture in a clear glass jar with an airtight lid. Keep it away from heat, sunlight
, and moisture.
Charge it under the light of the full moon on the three days prior to it becomin
g actually full. The full moon light penetration is the reason for not storing t
his in an opaque jar.
It is ready for use immediately, but can be charged more if desired.
