Asclepius Incense + Powder

A blend of consecrated herbs and resins consecrated to Asclepius as the Moon conjoined the fixed star of the Divine Physician, Ras Alhague, while applying to a trine with its ruler, the Greater Benefic, from the Nakshatra Ashwini — represented by eternally youthful twin doctors (Ashvins), who — in addition to tending to the health of the Gods, the sick, and the unfortunate, have further associations with medicine, good health, daybreak, and the sciences.

Rose of jericho, responsibly wildcrafted white sage, ritually harvested incense cypress, carnelian, and generous helpings of frankincense; ground into a fine powder that works equally well as an incense for smoke bathing the body (standalone or in ritual cleansings), offerings to Asclepius and healing Spirits, or a magical powder for dressing candles, adding to spell work, and sprinkling.

Use to clear and elevate icky energies, and to banish the Dead.

Arrives in a 1/2 oz glass vial with cork top, or 2 oz bulk pot.

Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.

Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.
