A Sacred Union of Two Ancient Resins

Frankincense and myrrh are among the most ancient incense materials known to humanity. Their use stretches back through temples, shrines, sacred rites and devotional traditions across the ancient world, where their fragrant smoke was offered in honour of the divine and used to sanctify spaces of prayer, worship and spiritual reflection.

Together, these resins create a fragrance of remarkable depth and beauty. Frankincense brings a clear, luminous and ascending quality that feels expansive and prayerful, while myrrh adds warmth, gravity and an earthy richness that deepens the atmosphere. The result is an incense that feels pure yet embodied, contemplative yet powerful — a true balance of elevation and grounding.

This superior blend can be understood as a sacred harmony of opposites: the celestial and the earthly, the bright and the shadowed, the ascending and the anchoring. It is precisely this quality that has made frankincense and myrrh such a timeless incense pairing in sacred traditions.

Sacred History & Tradition

Frankincense and myrrh have a long and revered history of ritual use.

In ancient Egypt, both resins were burned in honour of the gods and used in temple rites of offering and purification. In Biblical tradition, frankincense and myrrh were among the gifts brought by the Magi to honour the birth of Jesus, forever linking these resins with sanctity, kingship and divine recognition.

They have continued to be used throughout Christian liturgical practice, especially in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions, where incense smoke accompanies prayer, blessing and sacred ceremony. Beyond Christianity, both frankincense and myrrh also appear in many pre-Christian, Middle Eastern, African and global spiritual traditions, valued for their capacity to cleanse space, mark sacred time and elevate the spirit.

Across cultures, their smoke has long been associated with reverence, purification, honouring the unseen and carrying prayer upward.

About the Resins

Frankincense

Frankincense is the aromatic resin of Boswellia trees, traditionally Boswellia sacra, and has long been regarded as one of the world’s most sacred incense materials.

Its scent is resinous, woody and luminous, often carrying subtle bright notes that make it feel expansive and spiritually clarifying. In traditional use, frankincense is associated with protection, prayer, divine honour and heightened spiritual awareness. It has historically been offered in rites of devotion and used to help create an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and sacred presence.

Myrrh

Myrrh is the resin of Commiphora species and has a deeper, more mysterious aromatic character. Its fragrance is earthy, bittersweet, warm and resinous, giving it a solemn and ancient quality.

Traditionally, myrrh has been associated with healing, purification, protection and transformation. It has been used in rites of passage, anointing rituals and ceremonies focused on release, depth and inner renewal. Where frankincense rises, myrrh steadies. Where frankincense illuminates, myrrh roots.

Together, they create an incense of both spiritual ascent and sacred embodiment.

Spiritual & Energetic Associations

Frankincense and myrrh are traditionally associated with:

  • Purification of sacred space
  • Prayer and devotional ritual

  • Creating a reverent and contemplative atmosphere
  • Marking transitions, ceremonies and holy days

This resin pairing is especially valued for its ability to lift awareness while anchoring intention, making it a deeply supportive incense for both formal ritual and personal spiritual practice.

How to Burn Gum Resin Incense

Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in a suitable heatproof incense burner, censer or bowl. Light the edge of the charcoal and allow it to spark and crackle until the surface becomes glowing and lightly covered with grey ash. Once ready, add a small pinch of the frankincense and myrrh resin to the charcoal.

As the resin warms, it will release its fragrant smoke into the space. Additional resin may be added as desired, depending on the depth of aroma you wish to create. An incense spoon or tongs can be helpful when handling resin and charcoal.

Care & Storage

Store your resin incense in a cool, dark and dry place to help preserve its aroma and quality. Like many natural resins, frankincense and myrrh may continue to deepen and mature subtly over time.

If storing charcoal discs, keep them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture.

Safety Information

  • Keep incense and charcoal out of reach of children and pets
  • Charcoal discs become extremely hot and should never be touched once lit
  • Use only on a fireproof, heat-resistant burner or surface
  • Do not use glass dishes, as they may crack or shatter under heat
