Also known as liquid amber, this thick, clear, amber coloured liquid has the consistency of honey and an intense aroma. In the days of antiquity it was used for magic and medicine. Liquid storax is not usually burnt by itself but mixed with other substances, such as Labdanum and powdered Frankincense, which can be used as visionary incense.
Since people first came together to honour the Gods and spirits of nature they used gums, resins and fragrant herbs to bring them closer to the divine beings and to give fragrant wings to their prayers. Every culture has their own sacred herbs that are particular to its region, yet, precious incense herbs and gums have also always been traded far beyond their country of origin.
Storax is associated with Hecate Goddess of witchcraft and her magical arts. It can be used to invoke her powers and attune with her underworld realms. It makes excellent incense for dream and astral work.
