Beltane

It's gone Beltane, but we've only just got our altar changed and new incense blended. A heady blend of Sandalwood, Pine, Myrrh and Jasmine Oil, with Rose Petals. I love creating the incense from so many different components; the powder of sandalwood, the hard resin of Myrrh, the Oil and breaking chips of Chinese Pine bark into the blend, then scattering petals upon it. It's fragrance is interesting - I daresay next time I'll probably change the ratio of Pine to SandalWood, and perhaps use a little more oil to make it more flowery rather than woody.
