Immortal Heart offers two distinct sets of Incenses and Powders: Ascending and Descending, elegantly demarcated by an upward ▲ or downward ▼ facing triangle in the center of the radiating heart label.

The Descending Sub-Set is an invocation of the Divine Mother at the bedside of our Grief — there to listen, to hold space, and to comfort us in our times of direst need. Infinite is Her capacity to understand our heartache… to absorb our tears… and to be lost in the seas of pain which leave us feeling as though we may never see or step foot on the shoreline again.

Use on the inconsolable, to purge the deep moats of loss and sadness which stand between us and our ability to function, or pick back up again. Helps facilitate a good cry, with no need to feel anything but how we feel. No pressure to move forward or upward, just an understanding that authentic, heartfelt immersion in sadness can be a vital step to ultimate integration. That we must reach bottom, or have our darkest day, before anything else becomes possible.

Waning Heart. Grieving Heart. Inconsolable Heart. You too shall be Full again.

100% pure, uncut organic and wildcrafted herbs and resins, ground saltwater pearl, mother of pearl, and cape amethyst, along with 12k white gold, fumigated in frankincense and benzoin during the Immortal Heart operation, along with prayers to the Divine Mother that She tend to us in our mourning.

Smoke bathe following deep loss, or before an Energetic Cleansing + Ritual Bath to facilitate emotional purgation and immersion in the grieving process. Addresses fresh as well as lingering heartaches. Fumigate iconic satellites or unintended talismans of grief.

Offer the smoke to the Divine Mother or Ancestors, pouring forth the Heart, or praying for resolution. Both make great listeners. Not a very social or verbal influence — best used without incarnate human company, or someone very special.

Offered in a 1/2 oz glass vial with cork top for $30, or 2 oz bulk pot for $90

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.
