Hi! I have made an incense (to burn on charcaol) that is: 1 part Frankincense 1 part nutmeg 1 part cinnamon and a pinch of clove Be sure to grind the Frankincense alone in sharp snapping movements, if you dont buy it powdered. It has a tendency to gum up (being a resin) if you drag it across the bottom of the mortar. I have used this for rituals involving money and job relations. I have met with fantastic success with it. Good luck! Blessed Be!
