Loose incense is such a wonderful tool for spellwork, meditation, ritual and fragrance; but not a lot of people know what it is, or how to use it.

Scott Cunningham's book, Incense, Oils and Brews is the go to book for making your own loose incense.
Earthsinger100 I just bought this- it will b here Friday & I’m now I feel a bit more excited than I already was, being that you said this & 3 other ppl clearly approved by thumbs upping! Lol so thanks bc I was worried from so many mixed reviews-especially of this author in general tbh!
Earthsinger100 thank you. I’m going to get this then. I love Hearths loose incense but I also want to experiment in blending my own too. My local witchy shop sells a box of herbs, resins, woods etc with a list of their properties and I really want to start putting things together and seeing what happens 👩🔬
@@lilithsmedicinalmoon2084 I highly recommend his book on Crystal, Gem and Metal Magic. His Encyclopedia of Herbs is very good. The controversy with him is mostly with his books on Wicca. He was my first pagan author and I still think his work is valuable.
I, too, have and recommend the books mentioned here by Scott Cunningham!
I agree especially because of all the substitutions.....most of the recipes I have tried have either hard to find, expensive or toxic ingredients.
I love what you said about the sand. I use salt personally so when your cauldron starts to get full, you can bless the the salt ash mixture and make black salts
My favorite is The Holy Trinity: Sage/Lavender/Rosemary. Super easy to make. I gather mine and dry them by hanging them up with clothes pins on a string and I grind mine with a coffee grinder, blending in equal parts into one container. It has a very subtle oil to it and it does clump if you pinch them tightly between your fingers.
Dear Hearth,
I use ground brick for the bottom of my cauldron. It is sometimes referred to as red sand around here. It’s a little hoodoo-ish and supposed to boost the power of the herbs and resins. Just a thought if you would want to try it. 😁
Wow.... That sounds awesome 👍👍😊
Its not Hoodoo-ish….its literally Hoodoo.
Incense is honesty one of my absolute favourite parts of my personal craft. I would love to see follow-up videos on this regarding the video you mentioned planning here, and I'd love to see how you use it, I find that so helpful!
I have so many favourite ingredients, but I recently came accross guggle resin. I have no idea what it really is, I think it's a type of Frankincense or Myrrh, but omg it's so earthy and gorgeous!!
it's a type of Indian Myrrh where as the more common Myrrh is African
@@crocketgsxr6 Oh wow! thank you so much!!
As always, thank you, Hearth!
❤
I recommend two additional videos:
1) Annie's TH-cam channel MirthandReverence, video titled "Rice Ash Buried Charcoal and Mica Screen Incense." (she makes a correction down below, that the charcoal is from bamboo, not willow).
2) TH-cam channel Awesome A, video "Burn Loose Incense WITHOUT Charcoal Disks". Little ceramic oil burners and tea lights are nice and cheap.
👍
Im glad my curious thought that said "you could probably just put them in a wax melter with a tea light" was pretty spot on. Im new and starting out with sticks but im enjoying the use of lighting the incense and putting my intention out there while doing house work or studying
Side note, lose incense can also be used in simmer pots
tips, break the charcoal in half or even quarters usually it's enough for use especially indoors. also you can fill the container with plain clay cat litter, needs to be unscented, nothing added to it. then you sit the charcoal on top, this helps keeping things from overheating. I would never use any glass containers of course, they should be containers meant to burn charcoal for loose incense, a censor meant for that, a cauldron etc. if you don't have kitty litter you can use sand.
Loveee these longer videos...the length alone has me excited!
I love the tealight method for releasing the scent/energy of loose incense. I also like to sprinkle it on top of an unscented tea light candle so it has a similar effect as the candle burns..
This helps me out so much. Thank you!! I learning so much from you. I feel like I go into my research mode more when I watch your videos. I am glad I get to watch you.
Your hair and makeup is gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video Hearth! 🌛🌝🌜
Thank you! I need to learn more about incense so this was perfect timing💜💜 Blessed Be!
You provided all the important information that was lacking in any other video I've seen so far, especially with safety precautions and what's ok to use and what isn't! Thank you so much, that really helped me figure out if I want to try this! ❤
Looking forward to the next witchcraft follow up video!😈 Also.. a follow up video of creating our own incense blends for maybe a couple different intentions & also demonstrating how you burn in your cauldron properly would b a plus😇
Many blessings to you💖🖤🌛🌚🌜
Excellent video, as always!
This was super informative. Absolutely thankful you put this up. :)
Did you ever make the video on how to burn loose incense? I can't see it on your channel 🔥
Yesss I really needed this video!
Timing!!! Yes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Very informative as usual. Thank you so much for sharing and being detailed as well.
You are just a lovely lady. You are kind thoughtful and so generous with your time and knowledge. I sure appreciate all you share. You are fun, cute, upbeat and bright! I’m a lifelong fan!
Thank you, lovely witch.
Thank you so much for this wonderful breakdown on loose incense 😊🙏
You look gorgeous, Hearth! The purple/red hair is a great look for you 💜
My gosh this look is gorgeous on you! Expecially the lips and hair!🔥💖🙌 Also, thank you for this video!
Love this vid! Thank you! 👍🏼😊
One of my favorites is sandalwood. I do use the sticks. They are quick and handy. I've also made my own herbal incense mix
Including sandalwood resin. I use it in workings close to my heart.
Hearth, I don't know if it's your hair your makeup or what; but in the last few videos you have looked absolutely radiant! Your skin is just glowing...must be your internal beauty shining through. Thanks for all you share! Blessings! 🌓🌕🌘
What I use is Frankincense resin pieces / powder. It is better than using extremely fine powder as breathing fine powders can be harmful. You can get Frankincense resins in Amazon.
To use them, burn few coconut husks and when the fire dies, put some resin powder over the hot husk pieces.
Another incense i use is called 'dhoop' in Hindi (India). They are made with natural materials and smells amazing.
I love all your videos! You explain everything so carefully! You're so lovely Hearth! 🌒🌕🌘
Hi Hearth, quick question, when you said "once finished just grind everything into the sand and start again" it got me thinking. Could you use salt in the base of your cauldron instead of sand? So as you go along with any protection or cleansing work etc you are creating black salt? Thanks so much for your videos you are a massive help in getting me back on the my journey.
Very good question. I also wonder this. Hope HearthWitch sees your question
You look beautiful, darling. That hair and makeup are pure magic!
I'm late to this party, but your makeup/hair/style looks gorgeous! Love you hearth!
I visited Star child in Glastonbury this weekend, what a beautiful shop and sooooo much choice of things.
I purchased a couple of the ready mixed loose incense.
I wish I had bought more xx
Please can you do mystery boxes for us in the states. Please?? Many blessings 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks Hearth
Hearth, you should write a book. I consider myself very experienced, I’ve been practicing since about 11/12 (I’m 37 now) and my spells have been almost immediate lately however I enjoy supporting my fellow witches and I just love your channel. You have tons of wisdom and I would buy it for sure!!
I make my own oils and herb mixtures also however I would love to try one of your blends, do you sell any of your personal? I’m not trying to convince you to start your own online store (no pressure lol) but IF you did, I think you would be SO successful you’ve got the best energy!
Oh yes, please do a video on how to make herbal loose incense! Blessed be!
Lovely video 😊
I use balsam ash inside a brass cauldron also got this beautiful Chinese brass incense kit specially for powdered incense and yes inalways burn it outside x
You are like the ultimate source for:
Proper Protocol for the Modern Day Witch 🧙♀️
My favourite way to use incense is to use incense sticks, put it on a wooden holder, then I use it either to smudge my room or the area I'm in, or I just keep it in the holder and let it cleanse the space or I use it tom relax or have a better sleep.
How is she not at 100k yet
Yes please to the more occulty witchy ways to use loose incense - video, please
Buuuuuuurn! Love your accent. :)
also correct information.
I love witchcraft and all that, except I am judged on it and dont have anytime anymore. I have all my stuff under my bed and really wanna get back into it.
I used it mostly for mediation,or occasionally smoke out the squirrels in my attic. I like to use Salt in the bottom that way after a bit....boom charged Black salt! Plus Cunningham book is great
Great video. I'm really interested in learning more.... I've used a lot of resins in the past and also purchased some amazing blends from fairyland aromatics who are now in Glastonbury.
I've just bought a load of new resins and gums and I'm researching herbs, flowers, oils and other materials now to start making my own blends. It would be good to learn more about the intention side if things. I am obsessed with the smell of things but it would be great to learn enough to match the smells with the intentions and the energy's, properties and powers of the ingredients.
I make my own " Vision Incense Blend " and my recipe is 8 parts red sandalwood, 2 parts frankincense, 2 parts myrrh, 2 parts copal resin, 1 part star anise pods, and 1 part lavandin flowers. also I recommend sticking to aromatic woods, Incense resins and aromatic flowers because they not only give off the best scent. But they tend to have the most universal amount metaphysical properties meaning they tend to have multiple metaphysical properties per a ingredient.
hi hearth. did u ever do more vids on loose incense. i would love to watch them as i want to start making my own for spell work
omg you just share so much information for free..
I didn't know one can use a diffuser for loose incense because I thought it wouldn't produce enough heat to release the scent. Thank you! 😀
I have a log burner at home - can I burn loose incense on this or should it only be an outdoor open fire? Thank you Hearth - I love the candle burner loose incense hack! I've only made a few loose incenses before but I love using frankincense resin and a blend of herbs related to my intention - often including things like mugwort, lavender and rose petals. I recently picked up some powdered dragons blood resin so I'm excited to try that in a blend soon as well. Xx
Emily J C F Diamond hi I would check if any of your loose incense mix is a baneful (toxic) herb before burning large amounts on your log burner if it is inside your home. I have a fire pit I use outside & burn loose incense on the logs all the time, it works well. I love using Mugwort too but never burn it inside in large amounts as it can be hallucinogenic.
Hi Hearth, I was wondering if you could speak about pathworking/journeying/the astral temple. I read about it briefly in a very Wiccan book and I can’t find anything about it online. If you know anything about them I would them to hear it because it was very confusing. Lots of love! ❤️
This kind of incense keeps the demons out of my house much better than the stick incense.
My chakras are also way better luminated and in line with the earth's energy beams after using this.
I won't be chronoing back soon, so I'll keep it to this for now until we harvest enough to go back.
Thanks!
Great video, couldn't help but wonder though, what would happen if instead of using loose incense, I used ground down weed and use a shit ton inside a tent while meditating
Cone incense works if you add some sherry to bind it then shape it in a cone,
Hi, just found your chanel. Wondering if you had made some of those loose incense videos already. I cannot find them and would really love to see you do incense
I'm new in that all of things. I'm searching ways to use a personal herbal loose incence to cleanse. Can I use the oil warmer since it won't really create smoke? Will it be effective? Thank you for your time!
Herth,could a full charcoal briquette be used in the place of a charcoal disk?
Can you put the herbal loose incense on a wax burner then? The things that you put a tea light under?
Yes use bit of wax or waxmelt in oil burner ad loose incense, tea light lit, scent gets released. Can be re-used few times until scent is gone.
Where do I go to order one of your witch boxes or one of your loose incenses?
Can cherry scented pipe tobacco be used in a loose incense?
Or on a charcoal briquette...
Hearth, I won't have any pets for that reason
Can Charcoal briquettes be used for burning incence?
Could the Incence be burned in a censer, when in doors?
Incense is huge for me?
I do both incense. I make loose incense like your is and I also sell it as a powder. I going down my Herbs, resins, and woods and I add an essential oil and I powder let’s say if it’s a lavender I have my base that I make in bulk of 2 kinds of cedar and 2 types of sandalwood, frankincense and gold seal dragons blood. That’s my most used base. And if I wanna make lavender powdered incense or cone incense I take my lavender buds and I powder them myself. Or if I want cinnamon I’ll do Cassia and sweet cinnamon blend. I can even get pod grade organic herbs already powdered from witch and incense suppliers. And I live in the states. Other then getting cheap unhealthy incense at Walmart I don’t know any witchy shop or vendors who throw a bunch of fillers together w dye and fragrance oils. I don’t know anyone who does that. That’s why ppl get upset and they don’t understand why I sell my incense for so much money. They can get 20 sticks at the dollar store but it’s shit incense filled of cheap chemicals and mine is all natural with expensive ingredients. But that’s how I do loose either like your or powdered and I will be trying cones next.
Did the how to video ever get done? I didn't see it in the video list
They are by hem flora musk and flora rose masala incense
I have 2 cats so i dont want to risk them. The whole process sounds abit scary to me. I wonder if i should use the incense sticks i bought they might not be healthy for the cats.
This I really weird but I just got home from buying incense, an incense box and a smudge stick for the first time. I'm new to Wicca/ witchcraft. I'm just trying to learn and read as much as I can.
Venetianmetalhead, I'm barely two years into my own spiritual path and practice. Hearth is my favorite! Watch all her beginner videos!❤
Is there a way to put out the charcoal disk before it's all burned? I use charcoal disks for resin and it works great but I often don't want to burn it all out and so I just kind of dip it in cold water but yeah if there was a way to reuse the charcoal disk that'd be awesome
None that I know of. Once it becomes hot it loses its form so you can’t pick it up. They’re also far too hot to pick up.
the discs are usually pretty big if your just using it to burn a bit of incense so what I do is I break it in half to quarters depending on how I will use it. because I burn indoors I don't use a whole disc. this way you make them last longer as well.
Might be able to suffocate it. Fire and embers need oxygen and something to burn, cut off the oxygen and it should go out?
I only use it to cleanse the house :)
Quickly reading the video's title and "What is loose incense and how to lose them." Oh, wait.
*coughs* >.> Yeah, found out about the ventilation last week. Oops.
Good! Keep it up! Would you like to be TH-cam friends? :]
