Frankincense Superior Hojari Gum Resin Incense 25g

Frankincense Superior Hojari is regarded as the finest grade of Frankincense available, treasured since antiquity for its purity, fragrance and spiritual potency. This sacred gum has a long-established history of use in Christian and pre-Christian traditions, burned to honour the divine, cleanse sacred space and elevate consciousness.

In ancient Egypt, Frankincense was offered to the Sun God Ra. In the Biblical tradition, it was presented by the Three Sages as a sacred gift at the birth of Jesus. To this day, Frankincense remains central to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church and many other spiritual paths worldwide.

About Hojari Frankincense

There are many species of Frankincense, but Boswellia sacra, known as Hojari, is widely considered the highest quality. These trees grow in the harsh, arid regions of Oman and Yemen, surviving extreme conditions and rocky terrain.

Frankincense trees grow slowly and only begin producing resin after 8–10 years. Harvesting is done by making careful incisions in the bark; each successive cut yields resin of increasing clarity and purity. Historically, overharvesting threatened wild populations, but modern recognition of the tree’s sacred and ecological value has led to improved conservation and sustainable harvesting practices.

The Hojari resin offered here is imported directly from ethically controlled harvests in Oman, ensuring both quality and respect for the land.

Aroma & Energetic Qualities

  • Aroma: Rich, resinous, woody with subtle citrus sweetness

  • Energetic Nature: Clean, luminous, elevating and protective

When burned, Superior Hojari releases a fragrance often described as simply divine—clear, expansive and calming. Its smoke is traditionally believed to banish mental heaviness, dispel fear and lift awareness toward higher realms of perception.

Sacred & Spiritual Associations

Frankincense Superior Hojari is traditionally associated with:

  • Purification of sacred space

  • Spiritual protection and boundary-setting

  • Prayer, devotion and religious ceremony

  • Elevation of consciousness

  • Appeasing and honouring the divine

  • Offering and blessing rituals

It has long been regarded as an incense of light, clarity and sacred presence.

FRANKINCENSE - This gum has a long established history of use as incense in Christian and Pre-Christian spiritual traditions. In ancient Egypt they were burnt to honour the Sun-God Ra. According to the Bible, the three Sages brought offerings of Frankincense and Myrrh to honour the birth of Jesus. Both Frankincense and Myrrh are still widely used in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as in many other spiritual traditions. The scent of these divine gums is both spiritually uplifting and purifying.

SACRED HERBS, GUMS AND RESINS
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. We offer a selection of these sacred herbs, gums and resins for those who wish to experiment with their own incense blends.

HOW TO BURN INCENSE:
Place a self-igniting charcoal disc on a fire-proof surface, well away from flammable objects. The charcoal disks can be ignited simply by holding a match or lighter to the rim. Be aware that these discs may occasionally spit and sparkle profusely upon ignition. Allow plenty of air to flow around the charcoal to ensure that it burns evenly. Some people prefer to open the window while the charcoal is igniting as it gives off quite a bit of smoke. Once the charcoal disc has finished sparkling it will start to glow, usually first on one side, then slowly spreading over the whole disc. When the entire disc is glowing red hot it is ready to use and you can place a little pinch of incense on top. As the disk glows through, the fire will concentrate in its centre. You may occasionally want to scrape off the ashes to expose the glowing centre and add fresh incense as desired.

CARE FOR YOUR INCENSE:
Incense keeps well and often improves with age if kept in a cool and dark place. Charcoal, on the other hand, does not, as it has a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. Once the packet has been opened, keep it in an airtight container to preserve its self-igniting properties.

CAUTION:
Keep incense and charcoal out of pet's and children's reach. Charcoal discs are highly flammable. PLEASE BE CAREFUL when igniting your charcoal disc. Once the disc has been lit do not touch it, as it will cause a burn. Make sure your incense dish is fire proof and does not conduct heat to the surface on which it stands. Glass (even glass ashtrays) will break. Do not dispose of the remaining ashes in a waste paper bin or plastic garbage bin as it may cause a fire. Do not hold the disc in your hand while lighting or burning.

 

How do you use gum resin incense?

Prepare a Heat Source: You'll need a heat-resistant container, such as an incense holder, or a charcoal burner specifically designed for resin incense. If you're using a charcoal burner, make sure it's on a stable surface and away from flammable materials.

Charcoal Incense Disc: If you're using a charcoal burner, place a charcoal disc on the burner. Light the edge of the charcoal disc until it starts to spark and crackle. Allow it to fully ignite and turn gray. This process may take a few minutes.

Add your particular Gum Resin Incense: Once the charcoal disc is fully ignited and has a layer of gray ash on top, you can start adding the myrrh resin. Use tongs or a spoon to place a small amount (usually a pinch or a few granules) of myrrh resin onto the hot charcoal.

Enjoy the Aroma: As the incense resin heats up, it will release a fragrant smoke. Enjoy the calming and aromatic atmosphere created by the burning incense.

Safety: Always exercise caution when working with burning materials.

Keep the burner away from children and pets, and ensure good ventilation in the room.

Allow the charcoal and resin to cool completely before disposing of any ashes.

Myrrh incense, like frankincense, Copal, Sandalwood, all have a rich history of use in religious and spiritual rituals. It is also known for its potential therapeutic properties and is used in aromatherapy.
