One each of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth incenses in 1/2 ounce corked vials, for those traditions which use the four Cardinal elements plus the ineffable element of Spirit. The Cardinal Element incenses each contain four ingredients, corresponding to the Four Directions.

The Air element is the principle of wind, speech, thought, ideas, and joy, and Air incense could be used to magickally evoke any of these powers.

Air Element blows through the Crescent Moon, and since the New Moon rises at dawn, Air incense is formulated in the morning during the New Moon. Air is expressed in both the planets Jupiter and Mercury, but I use the expansive Jovian influence, therefore Air incense is made on Thursdays. Air Element is corresponded to Yellow or Clear/White, easy to achieve in the Air incense with the light, colorless resins and herbs affined to Air. When I make Air incense I face the East and the rising Sun.

The Fire element is the principle of heat, passion, activity, work, and desire, and Fire incense could be used to magickally evoke any of these powers.

Fire Element charges the Second Quarter of the Moon, since the waxing half Moon is seen rising at noon. Fire incense is therefore concocted at midday. Fire Element burns with the nature of Sun and Mars and I make Fire incense on Sunday. Fire Element is colored Orange and Red, and Dragon’s Blood resin gives both my Fire incense a burning red/orange color. When I make Fire incense I face the South and the midday Sun.

The Water element is the principle of emotions, psychism, compassion, healing, and dreams, and Water incense could be used to magickally evoke any of these powers.

Water Element flows down from the Full Moon, and since the Full Moon rises at sunset, Water incense is potioned at the end of the day. Water Element reflects the nature of Moon and Venus. I make Water incense on Monday. Water Element is naturally associated with the color Blue and my Water attempts to be yellowish-green, because honestly there just are not many natural products that would make a blue incense. When I make Water incense I face the West and the setting Sun.

The Earth element is the principle of physicality, wealth, growth, mysteries, and secrets, and Earth incense could be used to magickally evoke any of these powers.

Earth Element weighs in on the Third quarter Moon, which rises at midnight. Earth incense is compounded around midnight. Earth Element resides most in the nature of Saturn. Earth incense is made on Saturday. Earth partakes of the colors Brown, Black, and Green. Earth incense ingredients make it brown Like good dirt. When I make Earth incense I face the North and the obscured Sun.

Many practitioners find that working with the Elements is foundational to working with the Fae. For more potions for Faery magick, read this blog article.

Natural Magick incenses are composed of high quality resins, herbs, and sometimes essential oils. They are ritually hand ground on appropriate days of the week for Planetary influences and on the best day of the Moon's cycle for Lunar powers. Unlike most powder incenses, I use no "base" or filler to alter or dilute the powers of the active ingredients.

These magick incenses are made to be burned on incense charcoals. Light the charcoal with match or lighter, set it in a flameproof incense burner or on a brick, rock or bowl of sand, pebbles, or salt. Allow the charcoal to light completely and then sprinkle on a pinch the incense. Add more pinches as desired. See below for more detailed instructions.
