Planetary Association – Moon/Saturn

Elemental Attribution – Water

Sometimes called “sweet myrrh”, opoponax has been associated with funerary rites since ancient times and was linked with the Death card of the Tarot by Crowley in 777. For these reasons it finds common use in works of necromancy and ancestral reverence. Additionally, the slightly sweet attribute of opoponax has led to its use in incenses and rituals of an amorous nature and to draw love.

All of our resin incenses may be used to make more complex incense blends, or burned alone. They should be burned upon charcoal discs.
