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 Ascending Sub-Set is for ushering new light into the corridors of the Heart, following its darkest days and most trying emotional winters. It aids in emerging from the hidey-holes of our mourning hibernations, for when we are ready test the waters of positive emotional input once again. Draws forth tears of joy and passion for the beauty the full emotional spectrum presents, rather than pain or sadness. Beams a happy, uplifting gravity, elevating the Heart and adding lightness and levity to the emotional sphere. Smoke bathe on days where you feel like feeling better, and wish for support in that process, or before an Energetic Cleansing + Ritual Bath to facilitate overcoming low points, embracing new light and new life, but still providing scaffolding for a delicate heart. Burn for your Ancestors, to invite them to partake in your emotional recovery, and therefore, their own. Smoke spaces to uplift depressive energies without outright banishing them, making for a peaceful transition between loss and new life, in the delicate stage or tender shooting. 100% pure, uncut organic and wildcrafted herbs and resins, ground saltwater pearl, mother of pearl, and cape amethyst, along with 12k white gold AND 24k gold-gold, fumigated in frankincense and benzoin on the Immortal Heart election, along with prayers to the Divine Mother that She give our Heart Wings. 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.
