Storax (Styrax) Sacred Herb Incense 15g

Protection • Purification • Dream & Astral Work

Storax, also known as Styrax or Storax lignum, is a dark, slightly moist sacred resin with a warm, balsamic and softly floral aroma. When burned, it releases a rich, enveloping fragrance that has long been valued for its protective and purifying qualities.

Traditionally associated with Hecate, Goddess of witchcraft, crossroads and the underworld, Storax is used to invoke her powers and attune with liminal realms. It is especially suited to dream work, astral journeying and nocturnal ritual, where it supports passage between worlds and deepens inner perception.
