Kyphi Incense

 

This recipe was reconstructed from ancient Egyptian papyri. Although an ingredient or two may not have translated correctly, this should be pretty close to the actual incense used in Egyptian temples.

Ingredients:

3/4 Parts Honey

3 Parts Raisins

1/4 Part Copal

1/4 Part Myrrh

1/4 Part Orris

1 Part Sandalwood

1/4 Part Storax

1/2 Part Frankincense

1/2 Part Cinnamon

Red Wine (enough to moisten mixture)

Benzoin (enough to roll balls in)

Thoroughly grind all ingredients separately, then mix together groups of ingredients by nature: resinous together, powdery together, etc. Finally, mix all batches together, add red wine to moisten, then roll into 5/8″ balls and roll balls in benison. Lay out on waxed paper for a week or so, until firm.

The balls can be used when firm, but for best results, they should be allowed to cure a few weeks. Kyphi I’ve had for two years is better than ever.

Phenacite

Phenacite (phenakite) is a rare beryllium mineral. These rare crystals can be primarly be found in various areas of Madagascar, Burma, and Zimbabwe. However, they have also been found in Russia and the Colorado mountains in North America. These slender, prismatic column-like crystals can range in color from very clear (colorless) to yellows, browns and even sometimes pink.

It is thought that the diffrent areas in which the Phenacite is harvested will carry diffrent vibrational levels. The Phenacite has the HIGHEST vibration of any crystal ever found. It works on the upper Chakras such as the crown and third eye Chakra. Phenacite is also known as the gateway crystal used to help open the door to alternate dimentions and to aid in contact with higher spiritual realm. This stone is particularly important for light workers.

Because Phenacite is a beryllium mineral, caution must be used if you are planning to chip or crush the mineral. Beryllium in dust form is a toxic element that is used as a hardening agent in alloys. The dust has been known to cause lung damage and pneumonia.

Want a quick fun trip? Hold a small amount of Phenacite in your right hand and close your eyes. (make sure you are seated or lying down first) The current is amazing.

What the stones are for.
