Planetary Incenses

Incense anchors a ritual’s planetary signature through scent. Use single-resin offerings or blends that match the planet’s nature.

Classical associations

• Sun: frankincense, cinnamon, bay laurel
• Moon: camphor, jasmine, myrtle
• Mercury: storax, lavender, mastic
• Venus: sandalwood, rose, benzoin
• Mars: dragon’s blood, ginger, pepper
• Jupiter: frankincense (royal grade), clove, sage
• Saturn: myrrh, asafoetida, cypress

Blending tips

• Keep recipes simple; quality over complexity
• Add a pinch of the planet’s metal filings only where safe and appropriate
• Test burn outdoors first; record results in a ritual log

Usage

• Burn during consecration, petitions, or talismanic charging
• Pair with the planet’s day/hour and supportive electional conditions
