Gum Arabic (gum acacia) is the quiet workhorse of the incense bowl — a pale, brittle tree resin burned for purification, protection, and spiritual upliftment.
Ruled by the Sun and the element Air, it carries powers of protection and heightened psychic awareness. Traditionally it is the binder that holds homemade loose incense together, and it is added to almost any blend to sweeten the smoke and lend it a holy, elevating quality.
Burn a few tears on charcoal to cleanse a room before ritual, or fold it into protection and psychic-work incenses to deepen their reach.
Pairs well with: Hem Frankincense, Hem Dragon's Blood, Hyssop, and Green Sage Leaf.
Store cool and dry in a sealed jar; burn on a charcoal disc in a heatproof censer.
