Description
Long before churches and cathedrals, these two resins were rising together in the temples of Egypt.
Some prayers call for the oldest smoke there is.
A HEM stick incense for prayer, blessing, and consecration. ✨Hem Frankincense-Myrrh Stick Incense is handmade in India by HEM, with a warm, sweet, deeply resinous scent. Frankincense (Boswellia) is bright and associated with the Sun and Fire, and myrrh (Commiphora) is dark and associated with the Moon and Water. Both come from trees of Arabia and northeastern Africa, both were among the gifts of the Magi, and together they've been burned in temples for thousands of years. They're traditionally used for prayer, blessing, and consecrating altars and tools. A single stick can make an ordinary room feel like a chapel at evensong.
