Used for purification, prosperity and protection.
There are many ‘Cedars’, the most common of which belong to the cedrus, thuja or juniperus species. Cedar has been regarded as sacred by many cultures, notably the Native Americans, and has been ceremonially burned to transport prayers to the gods and nature spirits. This cedar comes from North America where it is thought to be a ‘tree of life’ and a ‘bridge between worlds’.

How to use sacred herbs and resins
Place a charcoal disc on a fireproof surface away from anything flammable. A ceramic or metal dish containing some sand is ideal.
Hold a match or a lighter to the rim of the disc, taken care as the disc may spit and spark on ignition. Also allow a good air flow around the disc so that it can burn evenly, and be aware that it may give off quite a lot of smoke.
Once the disc is red hot and glowing, drop a pinch of the incense on the top.
Scrape off the ashes from time to time to expose the glowing centre of the charcoal disc and add more incense as required.
NEVER hold a lit disc in your hand, and dispose of spent discs carefully.
