In the longest nights of the year, people have always reached for light.
Frankincense is the oldest way they found to burn it.
A HEM stick incense for blessing, prayer, and solstice ritual. ✨Frankincense Hexagonal Hem Incense is handmade in India by HEM, with a warm, sweet, slightly citrusy resin scent. Frankincense (Boswellia) is tapped from trees in Arabia and the Horn of Africa. It was burned in the temples of ancient Egypt and was one of the gifts of the Magi. It's associated with the Sun and Fire and traditionally used for blessing, consecration, and prayer, especially around the winter solstice, when the sun is reborn. The air feels bright and clean, as if someone had opened a window onto a sunny morning.
