Origin & Lore

Frankincense is the resin of Boswellia trees, especially Boswellia sacra of Oman and Yemen. It was burned in Egyptian, Jewish, Greek and Roman temples and remains the incense of the Catholic and Orthodox churches. In magick it is above all a resin of consecration, purification and solar power.

For centuries frankincense was worth its weight in gold, carried by camel caravans along the incense road from southern Arabia to the Mediterranean.

The Book of Exodus lists frankincense as an ingredient in the holy incense of the Tabernacle, and the Renaissance magician Agrippa assigned it to the Sun. The ancient frankincense trade made the cities of southern Arabia rich, and the trees still grow in the Dhofar region of Oman, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site called the Land of Frankincense.
