Dragon’s Blood incense sticks

Dragon’s blood is the red resin that witches reach for when a spell needs more force behind it.

Origin & Traditional Use

Dragon’s blood is the red resin of rattan palms in Southeast Asia and of dragon trees in Socotra and the Canary Islands, long traded as dye, varnish colourant and incense. In stick form it is simple to use for steady protection and power work through the day or over a whole spell.

Lore & History

The trade name confused early writers: the Roman and Greek ‘dragon’s blood’ was mostly the resin of the Socotra dragon tree, while the resin used today largely comes from Daemonorops palms. In Canary Islands lore, the dragon tree was linked to the dragon Ladon who guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides.
