This Egyptian kyphi incense is made with eight different herbs, spices, resins, fruits, and honey wine which have some association with Thoth and Hermes. Burn to invoke the god of intellect, writing, science, astronomy, philosophy, medicine, botany, and the magical arts. Burn as an offering to him at dusk, the liminal time between sunset and darkness. This incense blend works well for those who follow a Greek or Egyptian path or those who follow a syncretic blend of both as many ancients did. Members of the Golden Dawn and practitioners of Ceremonial magic will also find this blend a useful and richly scented addition to their magical rites. Kyphi smells very strong and will erase any current belief you have about incense as it may be the best and richest incense you've ever experienced.

Kyphi is an ancient traditional incense from Egypt made from raisins soaked in wine after which resins and herbs are added and a little honey. The whole process of properly handcrafting Kyphi incense takes about one month. This is needed to achieve the proper consistency and an even blending of the multi-layered scents. Be sure to burn a larger whole chunk on the charcoal as Kyphi is design to burn slowly to release all its complex scents. Do not crumble it or break it up over the charcoal or it will too quickly turn to charred ash.

Ingredients: Juniper berries, honey wine, anise, calamus, gum mastic, liquid amber (Turkish storax), and rue.

Size: 0.5 oz (weight) - 3 large incense pills
