Luna in Cancer Incense
Watercress, chamomile, milky oat, orris root, ashwagandha, poppy seed, heal all, calamus, mugwort, angelica, and sundry herbs of Lunar provenance following prayers and fumigation throughout the election window.
Later ground in the Moon’s day and hour along with myrrh, silver leaf, white gold, pearl, moonstone, white lotus, and dried moonflower.
Fumigate items or the vessel for Lunar attunements, or to prime before other influences.
Offer to the Moon, to Lunar deities, and Ancestral Matriarchs.
After a quick smoke bath, burn during appropriate mantra practices for prescribed forms of Lunar remediation.
Burn during scrying sessions, before journeying and dream work.
Clears emotional baggage, the mind, and memory, but can activate issues as they rise to the surface before release.
The series description for Luna in Cancer is probably way too long + so are most of the other offering descriptions, so we’ll assume you did the reading homework rather than going into ~all and sundry~ re: applications again
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.
$30 – $90

Through every S+ series I have worked with, this might be the most potent. So much so that I implore people to take Kaitlin’s advice that if you have any mental health issues, you tread very carefully.
Excellent at opening the deepest magic of ourselves and bringing forth parts of us that we may not have even known existed. Heart-breakingly beautiful
I’ve been offering this incense to my ancestors every Moonday and the results are SO immediate. after a few weeks of standing in front of the ancestor altar and sobbing while it burned, the grief it helped me/my ancestors to move through has provided so much healing. I also feel the repair happening in matrilineal relationship to resources and my actual relationship with my mother. it gives me the feeling that if I need something, I just need to ask, which is how my ancestors make me feel too. it smells like grandmothers and Pachamama. I think applying it indirectly by offering it to my ancestors was a wise decision, as the emotional breakthroughs are a lot. but as that element eases up, I can feel the experience of it becoming more like eating a satisfying, nourishing meal.
Luna in Cancer! Wow! I was really excited for this series, as a natal Cancer Sun and Moon, and it did not disappoint. It’s probably a combination of my natal placements and the deep emotional work I’ve already been working on for the past few years, but I haven’t personally had any intense or negative reactions to this materia (I also have the beauty oil, hydrosol and body butter). It really has been a soothing balm more than anything. Comfortable, familiar and refreshing. I’ve been blending the incense in particular with other series’ as was recommended, and I definitely can attest to the magically amplifying power of Luna in Cancer. On a practical level, blending with DA II has been essential and incredibly protective. On an enjoyable level, blending with Quicksilver Tongue and Regulus II have probably been my favorite combos so far, in addition to Cloud Daddy because of course that’s a match made in heaven 😉
First of all, this stuff wants to burn. I have a few other incense and it takes a bit of coaching it along. This one just wants to keep burning, which is great.
Also as someone with ruler, moon, in detriment, I’m trying so sort of gently expand my ability to manifest in the physical world without triggering this unfavorable placement and putting salt on the wound so to speak.
After setting up my moon attunement ritual, I added this incense, and proceeded as usual, also adding Fomalhaut to the mix…. Later that evening I decided to search out more about lord Shiva, because I’ve read that offering milk to shiva was another way to sort out moon afflictions. Well I was not disappointed, after a few hours of a deep rabbit hole on how Shiva relates to the fabric of existence on the atomic level, I certainly gained a much deeper understanding of manifestation in this reality and how to deepen my practice to incorporate Shiva archetypal energy. I’m certain that this Luna offering guided my research in the right direction.
