Necromancy Incense
As it is the season for talking to the dead or even raising the dead, this week I will share with you a great Necromancy Incense recipe. It is drawn from a variety of traditions to appeal to the spirits of the dead.
Ingredients
- 9 parts sandalwood chips
- 9 parts myrrh tears
- 9 parts copal resin tears
- 9 parts plain honey
- 3 parts wormwood
- 1 part vervain
- 1 part dittany of crete
- 1 part graveyard dirt
- 3 drops of wine
- 3 drops of your own blood
Preparation
- To prepare the dry ingredients in a mortar and pestle, drive down the pestle in a counterclockwise motion (the direction of the dead). As you crush the ingredient, visualize the spirits of those you honour and respect. Feel the spirit power going into each ingredient in its turn.
- When each ingredient is crushed to a coarse grain (do not powder), place it on its own small plate.
- Spoon the honey and liquids back into the mortar and pestle and blend, counterclockwise, until blended, being sure to visualize the love of the spirits going into every turn
- Blend the mixture with your fingers, and feel your own energy pouring into the mixture.
- Now prick your finger & squeeze three drops of blood into the mixture, saying something like,
- “By this offering of my own blood, I ask the spirits recognize the life force I have blended within! This spirit incense is now complete, & may the beloved dead heed my call and answer my request!
- Place in a bowl/plate and allow to cure for three days.
- Put in a bottle and use it whenever you have need of the spirits of the dead!
