There is something quietly grounding in the slow curl of smoke from a hand-rolled incense. Here it is the theme of abundance that sets the tone.
The theme of abundance – the character of the scent
A hand-shaped smudge ball of yagra, cinnamon, myrrh, rosemary and rue, with a natural binder. Burned on a charcoal disc, it gives a warm, spicy-resinous, full smoke.
Tradition links the plants of the blend to abundance and protection: cinnamon to warmth, myrrh to clarity, rue to safeguarding. Together they accompany a symbolic ritual of growth and new opportunity.
Smudge ball – a pressed botanical-resin blend
The smudge ball is a dense, hand-shaped blend of selected herbs and resins. Placed on a charcoal disc, it releases its rich, full smoke gradually, so even a few pieces unfold into a long-lasting fragrance.
- Form: hand-shaped incense ball
- Size: approx. 3 cm across
- Burning: on a glowing charcoal disc, a little at a time
Use and good to know
Use it in a stable, heat-resistant holder in a well-ventilated space, away from anything flammable. Light the tip, let it catch for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame so the smouldering end releases the scent, and never leave it burning unattended.
This is a hand-made product built from natural materials, so colour, thickness and the nuance of the scent can vary slightly from piece to piece; that variation is part of its artisanal origin, not a flaw.
Whether for meditation or simply an evening of winding down, it gives the moment a soft, steadying backdrop.
