Q: How do I burn resin?

Light a charcoal disc in a heatproof bowl of sand and wait until it glows through and turns grey. Then place a few grains of resin on top. A gentler way is a warmer with a mesh, where the resin melts slowly.

Q: How do I use palo santo?

Hold the tip of the wood in a flame for about half a minute, then blow it out. It keeps smouldering for a while and usually goes out by itself. Best done over a heatproof bowl.

Q: And white sage?

Like palo santo: light the tip of the bundle, blow out the flame and carry the smoke through the room. Then press it out in a bowl of sand.

Q: What should I watch out for?

Never leave incense unattended, always use a heatproof base and air the room briefly afterwards. Smoke is not ideal for pets or people with sensitive airways.

“I love Palo Santo for its warm, calming scent and the special atmosphere it creates. In many spiritual traditions it's used to invite positive, harmonious energy into a room. I like to burn sage first, to let go of old or heavy energy, and only then Palo Santo.”“

About Resins, Palo Santo & Sage

Incense materials are everything you burn without a stick: resins, woods and herbs. Frankincense smells bright and lemony, myrrh warm and slightly bitter, copal fresh and resinous, benzoin sweet like vanilla. Cathédrale and Three Kings are ready-made blends.

Palo santo is a wood from South America with a sweet, slightly lemony scent. White sage from California comes as a dried bundle and smells herbal and clear.

Resins are burned on a glowing charcoal disc in a heatproof bowl of sand, or more gently on a warmer with a mesh. Palo santo and sage are lit and the flame blown out straight away.
