INCENSE RECIPES
Greetings All...
As we were all talking about incense recipes recently, there was no
discussion on how they might be used in the Arts though. I thought
I'd include at least a basic listing on some of the more common uses
that have stood the tests of time and a Sister from the UK has
graciously offered to give some recipes for various incenses that you
can make yourself. I hope that you enjoy them.
Most of the following recipes call for mixing "Equal" parts of each
ingredient. However, I have found that it makes for interesting
flavours to
use the trial/error method to see what you like best...
