Frankincense Tears

Breath of the Sacred Sun

Frankincense Tears are the golden drops of resin wept from the Boswellia tree, hardened by desert wind and time. For thousands of years this resin has been called the Smoke of Heaven—an offering fit for temples, kings, and spirits alike. When warmed by flame, it releases a bright, citrus-sweet mist believed to carry prayers directly to the divine.

In witchcraft, frankincense is the great purifier and awakener, clearing stagnant forces so higher wisdom may enter.

Magical Virtues

• cleansing spaces, altars, and ritual tools
• strengthening prayer, petitions, and manifestation
• raising spiritual vibration and focus

• blessing new beginnings and sacred vows

Frankincense does not merely banish—it consecrates. It prepares the ground where magic may grow, inviting clarity, reverence, and steady devotion.
