Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of spiritual cleansing waters?

Cleansing waters are applied to prepare, purify, or mark ritual space and tools. They are not intended for ingestion and vary by composition.
How do powders support incense and spell blends?

Powders reinforce placement and directionality within workings. In incense, they structure burn rates and scent diffusion; in blends, they help define intent and focus.
Why choose botanical resins over herbs alone?

Resins burn slower and provide sustained aromatic output. Herbs are faster burning and support different roles in incense and ritual blends.
How should apothecary herbs be stored?

Store herbs in airtight, dry, light-protected containers to preserve aroma and botanical consistency. Avoid moisture and heat exposure.
Are ritual oils used differently from essential oils?

Ritual oils in this collection are designed for ceremonial focus and blending. Essential oil usage may differ — always reference composition context on individual product pages.
How do I make loose incense with resins and herbs?

Use a heat source (charcoal or an incense heater). Loose incense typically won’t self-burn; it’s designed to beheatedso aromatics release gradually. Start resin-forward for structure, then add herbs/spices in smaller proportions.
What’s the difference between ritual oils and essential oils?

Essential oils are concentrated aromatics. “Ritual oils” are typically blends intended for application in practice (anointing, dressing, marking, preparation). Use-case and handling matter more than the label—check composition notes on the product page before skin contact or heat exposure.
What is black salt used for?

Black salt is commonly used forprotection and banishing—especially as boundary material (thresholds, corners, perimeter lines, containers). Treat it as a placement tool tied to a defined operation, not a permanent “set it and forget it.”
