Type: Incense mixture

Ingredients: Opoponace, mastic resin, labdanum, dichthamus, camphor, laurel leaves

Origin: Greece

Flavor: spicy, fresh and balsamic

History and traditions: a blend with a spicy, fresh and balsamic aroma that holds the mystery of the priestess of the Delphic oracle. In ancient times it was used to predict the future, in tarot card reading and I-Ching, but especially to stimulate dream activity. In fact, it was believed that burning this blend before falling asleep allowed one to perceive dreams with greater awareness.

Information: making this incense is very complex, not only because some of the ingredients are rare and hard to find, but also because once mixed, they must be allowed to "rest" to stabilize. Finally, the mixture must be blended several times to achieve its unique aroma.
