In the post about K.'s belly blessing ritual, I mentioned Kyphi incense. I thought I'd share its ingredients here, as listed at http://www.scents-of-earth.com/kyphi.html:
"Red wine, tupelo honey, sultana raisins, storax bark, saffron, sandalwood, aloeswood, frankincense, mastic, benzoin, cardamom seeds, galangal root, lemongrass, rose petals and more."
Doesn't that sound yummy? It smells absolutely heavenly when burned; I'm not sure exactly what ingredients Glen Hoban used when making the local version of Kyphi that I have, but the above list sounds about right from what I remember him telling me all those many years ago when I first bought it.
By the way, Winnipegers reading this -- does anyone know if Glen is still in the Pagan community and still making incense blends? His product was always first-rate, and I'm starting to run low on several varieties.
