TIMELESS TRADITIONS POWDER INCENSE
Each or our Timeless Traditions Incenses contains fine herbs and oils, and each blend includes special minerals, stones, crystals, or seashells.  Timeless Traditions Incense can be burned with or without charcoal.  Simply place about 1 teaspoon into a burner, form a pile, and light with a flame.

Each package contains 2 ounces of powder.
Descriptions:

Awesome Wonders - Standing at the foot of the Great Pyramid, you feel the power of the place. Seeing Stonehenge, the Easter Island faces, the Mayan Temples, you experience the awesome majesty of the works. Whose hands created them? Why?  What inspired the ancients to erect these monuments, to extend beyond their limitations?  Burn this incense as an inspiration to do more than you knew you could.

Bacchanalia - Night falls.  The fires are lit.  The wine flows freely, steadily continually. This is the beginning of one of the greatest parties of all – Bacchanalia, the feast of the Roman God of wine and the vine.  This incense is for all your revels, whether public or private.  Use whenever you have cause to truly celebrate.

Deep Waters - Healing water.  Water can cleansing and purify. Water is birth and re-birth.  It is the river Jordan, the mythic River Styx, the reflective water of a scyring pool, or the healing, nourishing oceans. All around are the Deep Waters of your lives.  The fragrance of this incense is reminiscent of those waters.  Use it for personal introspection, cleansing and healing.

Earth Dance - Listen to the beat of drum and rattle, the lilt of a flute melody and the soft, rhythmic tap of feet on the ground.  In all native traditions, dance is the earliest expression and form of worship, a literal connection with life-giving Mother Earth.  When you re-enforce your connections with universal rhythms, burn Earth Dance incense to enhance your experience.

First People - Artworks from pre-history – sculpture, carvings, the cave paintings – show us that primitive people on this earth had a special affinity with the environment. They believed animals, trees, even stones had spirit and that those spirits, along with the souls of the departed, were connected to the life of the tribe and that there was symmetry between life and death.  Remember that symmetry, and your own distant or recent ancestors, with First People.

Hero’s Quest - Jason took the Argonauts on the quest for the Golden Fleece.  Galahad gave his life to the search for the Holy Grail. There is in each one of us, a personal quest the Siren’s call to challenge oneself.  The motivation to begin the journey and the will power to follow through, to complete the course, is what makes heroes of all of us.  Use this incense to help you identify your quest, and to assist you along the way.

The Hunt - He pauses, sensing the air around him, and leaps forward again.  The Hunt is on!  Is he hunter or hunted?  Cernunnos, the Horned God, or Diana, the Huntress?  Is it the Justice of Orion or the destruction of the Wild Hunt?  Life is a balance of good and evil, yin and yang, the hunt and the hunted.  That balance becomes personal to each individual, each person chooses, everyday. The Hunt can be used to maintain that balance, to emphasize that individual choice.

Love’s Circle - Isis and Osiris exemplify the Circle of Love, the love that crosses even the barrier of death. Pygmalion and Galatea personify the transforming power of love. Love can be spiritual, sacrificial, filial, familial, protective, and passionate.  For all the love in your life, burn Love’s Circle incense.

Merry Prankster - To the Norse, he is Loki.  Native Americans call him Coyote.  He is Trickster, Shape changer and Survivor.  The Japanese rice Goddess, Inari, also changes her appearance and plays tricks to get what she wants for herself and others.  Use this incense to invoke the playful, creative deity in you and your ability to change yourself, your life, and your world.

Primeval Nature - The volcano erupts, and the Hawaiian natives say Pele is angry.  Lightning flashes, thunder rolls, and the Teutons believe Thor is hammering.  In hurricane, fire, and earthquake, humankind is dwarfed and forever transformed by the raw power of nature, the uncontrollable force of the elements. Use this incense to acknowledge and honor Primeval Nature in all its magnificence.

Rites of Passage - The clan gathers to consecrate their newest member, and honor the baby’s mother. The women celebrate with the girl as she joins their ranks.  The young man leaves the tribe, making his solitary vision quest, and returns an adult. The milestones in our own lives are the Rites of Passage we all experience.  This is an incense to commemorate those special events marking our personal Rites of Passage.

Sacred Wheel - Early inhabitants of this world – and those who have carried on their traditions – were intimately aware of and dependent upon the cycles of life.  The seasons, day and night, birth and death, all were honored for their place on the Sacred Wheel.  Burn this incense when acknowledging your own place on the medicine wheel, the great cycles in your life.
