Spell Bound incense sticks

How to Use It

Witchcraft & Folk Magick

• Sealing a spell: light a stick once a candle spell or jar is complete and pass the finished work through the smoke three times to close it.
• Casting the circle: burn it at the east of the circle as you call the quarters, so the space smells of temple from the first word.
• Meditation: light one before tarot or pendulum work to quiet the room and settle your attention.

Ceremonial & Occult Magick

• Consecration: frankincense is the classic solar incense, used to bless tools, talismans and robes before first use by holding them in the smoke and stating their purpose.
• Planetary timing: burn it during the day and hour of the Sun for workings of success, clarity and authority.

A Simple Working

• Write your spell or petition on a square of parchment.
• Fold it toward you three times and lay it beside a white chime candle.
• Light the candle and then one Spell Bound stick from its flame.
• Read the petition aloud, then pass the folded paper through the smoke three times.
• Say “It is bound and it is done.”
• Let the candle burn out and keep the paper under your altar cloth.

Pairs Well With

• Frankincense tears: the raw resin for burning on charcoal.
• White chime candle: for blessing and sealing.
• Parchment paper: for writing the petition.
• Incense holder: to keep the stick upright on the altar.

Origin & Lore

This is a modern stick incense built around the scent of frankincense, the dried resin of Boswellia trees. Frankincense has been burned in temples and churches for thousands of years to purify a space and to carry prayer upward, and it remains a standard ritual incense in Christianity and in many magickal traditions.

Frankincense was once worth its weight in gold, carried by camel from southern Arabia to the temples of Egypt and Rome. Spell Bound puts that same resinous scent on a stick, ready to light when a spell needs sealing.

Frankincense came overland from Dhofar in southern Arabia and from the Horn of Africa along the Incense Road. The Egyptian queen Hatshepsut sent an expedition to the land of Punt around 1470 BCE to bring back incense trees, an event carved on the walls of her temple at Deir el-Bahari. In the Gospel of Matthew it is one of the three gifts of the Magi.
