Cthonic Hermes Incense

For working with Cthonic Hermes, other psychopomps and Hermes' many syncretic forms (Hermanubis, Hermes Trismegistus, etc).

Drawing inspiration from the Orphic Hymns, where storax is the aromatic noted for Hermes Cthonius and blending in myrrh for its underworld connotations and cinnamon for Thoth's predeliction for sweet things and a final touch of aloeswood (Psalm 45 and its many references in the Grimoire Tradition).

Unless otherwise specified, price stated is for 1/2 ounce of incense, as pictured.

The majority of Chariot's Wheels incense is non-combustible: it will not burn without the aid of an external heat source. We recommend an electric incense stove/heater, or some other indirect heating method.

Never place fine incense directly on a hot coal; always have some intervening surface like a plate of mica or foil, this will allow the true scent of the incense to evolve over time and reveal its depths. You can find mica plates designed for incense burning many places. Look for ones that are sized appropriately for the charcoal you use.

All Chariot's Wheels incense is hand crafted with the finest resins, woods and botanicals with added essential oils and various compounding elements such as fine wine, rum or liquers. It is then carefully aged, ritually purified and consecrated before packaging.
