This week's SECRET GIVEAWAY-
Leave a note with your order saying-"Guacalito". Guacalito is a traditional Mayan incense from Guatemala. The incense is shaped like two thin-walled bowls connected bottom to bottom. However, and PLEASE NOTE: These delicate incense sculptures were crushed in transit and all I have to share are broken pieces. That being said, they are still a beautiful incense material on the coal! I will ship you an ounce of this rare but broken incense material free with your order if you write Guacalito in the note area of your order.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS, (Outside North America)-Please leave your telephone number with your order to reduce the risk of non-delivery.
WE DO NOT SHIP TO RUSSIA WITHOUT TRACKING. For a quote on the cost please contact us.
Message us for prices on Ambergris and Tonka beans.
If you or someone you know harvests aromatic materials in a sustainable manner with a reverence for the plants and the planet, (anywhere in the world), let me know and perhaps I can help support their activities.
For recipes and methods of using Frankincense and other resins for medicine, incense and cosmetics please see my blog post here-

Medicinal and aromatic resins from around the world and a growing collection of sustainably harvested materials.
The Alchemy and Craft of the Apothecary Arts. Medicine & Fragrance from Nature.
A sculptor in wood and stone from my late teens, Stone, to slate, slate to bone, sculptor to craftsman, bone to horn to stone again. Some brass glass and horseshoe nails thrown in along the way. But, always, since the age of 4 or 5, always, asking questions about plants. What is it? What does it do? What is it called? How does it grow? Always trying to help a plant by sowing its seeds, fulfilling its needs. Woven through my life as an artist, I pursued my love of healing plants, nature's fragrances and smells, essential oils, resins and saps. I have had an intimate relationship with trees all my life. We look out for each other. I will always be a "Maker" and Nature will always be my Muse.
In Plant Alchemy, I found the path. The "Art" was revealed, the path forward illuminated. I walked it to this point in time, and here I am. Walking a path that still unfolds under my feet. One that seems to lead through ancient wisdom forward to cultural enlightenment, reclaiming some babies we threw out with the bath water in our rush to be modern and industrialized.Just following the path as it unfolds under my feet. Trying not to look down and keep my faith bright that there is something worth it all, in the moment and around the turn ahead..

Shop policies
Working with Astrological rulerships, traditional Plant Alchemy, and medical astrology brings different qualities to my work. Qualities, I believe, that can not be found through impersonal commercial, or mass produced items.
I try to deal directly with co-ops, harvester families and individual wildcrafters as my collection of sustainable and Fairtrade Fragrance materials grows, visiting them personally when possible.
The harvesters are the best qualified and positioned individuals to care for these treasures that we all share. Seeing to their prosperity and wellbeing, is the only way to ensure many of our aromatic and medicinal treasures are kept from extinction as our market demand grows. Our world is our Apothecary's Garden, one we all reap from. It is up to you and I to take care of it, and make sure those that tend to it are well cared for.
