Opoponax (Sweet Myrrh) Resin Incense 40g
Grounding • Deep Cleansing • Shadow Work

Opoponax, often known as Sweet Myrrh, is a dark, resinous and slightly oily gum with a rich, heavy fragrance balanced between bitter and sweet. Its aroma is earthy, profound and unmistakably ancient—calling the practitioner downward into depth rather than upward into light.

Traditionally, Opoponax is used in exorcism blends, banishing rites and the early stages of spiritual cleansing. Before higher consciousness can be reached, the shadows must be faced; Opoponax supports this descent, helping to confront and release deeply rooted energies that no longer serve.

Burn this resin when working with grounding, protection, shadow integration and deep purification, or when clearing spaces that feel heavy, stagnant or disturbed.

About Opoponax

Opoponax has long been valued for its powerful grounding and cleansing qualities. Unlike lighter resins, its smoke anchors awareness firmly into the body and the present moment, making it especially effective for deep spiritual work.

Its fragrance is dense and lingering, creating a protective container for rites that involve release, confrontation of inner fears, or clearing difficult energies from people or places.

Sacred & Spiritual Associations

Opoponax is traditionally associated with:

  • Grounding and anchoring
  • Exorcism and banishing rituals
  • Shadow work and inner confrontation
  • Deep purification and clearing
  • Protection and boundary-setting
  • Working with underworld or chthonic energies

It is often used before lighter or more expansive incenses, preparing the ground for clarity and renewal.

Uses & Intentions

Opoponax Resin Incense may be used for:

  • Deep spiritual cleansing
  • Clearing heavy or intrusive energies
  • Shadow work and inner transformation
  • Exorcism or banishing rites
  • Preparing space before higher ritual work
  • Grounding after intense spiritual practice

This resin is best used with clarity, respect and intention, as its energy is potent and uncompromising.

Sacred Herbs, Gums & Resins – Star Child

Since humanity first gathered to honour Gods, ancestors and spirits of nature, powerful resins have been burned to clear, protect and transform sacred space. Materials such as Opoponax were valued for their ability to work where gentler fragrances could not—addressing the depths before ascent.

The Star Child Sacred Herbs, Gums & Resins range offers traditional incense materials for ritual use, meditation and personal blending, guided by ancestral knowledge and ethical sourcing.

How to Burn Opoponax Resin Incense

  1. Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in a fireproof incense burner or bowl
  2. Light the edge of the charcoal disc and allow it to spark and crackle
  3. Once fully glowing and covered with grey ash, add a very small pinch of Opoponax
  4. Allow the dense smoke to cleanse and ground the space

Use tongs or an incense spoon when handling resin or charcoal.

Care & Storage

  • Store resin in a cool, dark place
  • Keep container sealed, as Opoponax is aromatic and slightly sticky
  • Resin may soften in warm conditions

Safety Information

  • Keep incense and charcoal out of reach of children and pets
  • Charcoal discs become extremely hot—never touch once lit
  • Use only fireproof, heat-resistant surfaces
  • Do not use glass dishes, as they may crack or shatter
  • Allow ashes to cool completely before disposal
  • Never leave burning incense unattended
