A common grade benzoin resin.
Benzoin is derived from styrax (storax) trees. It is a common incense in India, Orthodox Christian and Roman Catholic traditions. Astrologically, it is related to the Sun.
Includes one (1) ounce of benzoin resin.
"Benzoin purifies the astral body and dispels gross and sensual thoughts. Benzoin can be mixed with incense in a perfume censer, or all can be burned within a brazier. This is the most practical way." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
"The storax [styrax or benzoin] tree symbolizes wisdom and justice. The mantra of this tree is “Toliphando.” The elemental department of the storax tree is found to be intimately related with the activities of karma." —Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose
These are really wonderful dried Juniper Berries, perfect for cleansing a space.
No word to describe other than you need to meditate with it.
The "personalities" of these incenses are truly a gift to get to know.
Thus far, Frankincense has touched me the deepest however Benzoin is equally special.
Thanks to all at Glorian for providing these wonder filled tools.
The smell reminds me of being in an old European Church.
Smells a bit like vanilla, but with more kick/spice.
Powerful and refreshing, Benzoin purifies and clears residual negativity. It is very strong, so consider letting the incense do its own work while working with the elemental. Already in a crushed powder form, simply opening the bag brings awareness to its powerful presence and is always there for you on a cloudy day.
