A Pairing as Old as Sacred Smoke
I stock the Escential Essences line from Auric Blends because the line covers a wide range of scents. Frankincense and Myrrh puts both resin scents into a single stick.
These are fragrance incense sticks, not essential oil sticks or resin-burning incense. That’s worth knowing upfront. What you get is a well-crafted scent that captures the warm, resinous depth of both botanicals without requiring a charcoal burner or a dedicated heat source. Light the tip, set the stick in a holder, and let the smoke carry your intention. It’s that accessible.
The scent opens with a slightly citrusy brightness from the frankincense note, then settles into a deep, earthy, resinous warmth as the myrrh comes forward. The two botanicals have been paired in sacred contexts across Kemetic, Catholic, Sufi, and folk traditions for thousands of years. Frankincense lifts and clarifies. Myrrh grounds and seals. Together they make a smoke that works for consecration, healing work, devotion, protection, and astral practice. If you want something for serious altar work that doesn’t ask much of you technically, this is it. You can explore a wider range in my Escential Essences stick incense collection or browse my altar supplies for complementary tools.
How to Use Frankincense and Myrrh Incense Sticks
How to burn Frankincense and Myrrh incense sticks for ritual, prayer, or meditation.
- Prepare your space and holder
Set a stick incense holder on a heat-safe surface. Place the holder on your altar or in a quiet space where you plan to pray, meditate, or do healing work. Keep the area well clear of any flammable materials nearby.
- Light the stick and set your intention
Hold the uncoated end of the stick. Light the tip with a flame, let it catch for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame so the stick smolders. State your intention aloud or silently before placing it in the holder.
- Close the ritual and handle the ash
Allow the stick to burn fully or press the lit end into sand to extinguish it. Take a moment to close the ritual, giving thanks or sealing your prayer. Ash can be buried in soil or scattered outdoors as an offering.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry Auric Blends Escential Essences because the sticks are made in the USA. The sticks burn evenly, they don’t go out unexpectedly, and the scent holds true to what’s on the label.
One practical note: these sticks require a holder. They’re standard stick incense, and if you don’t already have one, you’ll want to grab a stick incense burner before you light the first one. The 16-pack is a solid entry point if you’re trying the scent for the first time. If you already know you love it, the 95 to 100 stick bulk pack is the better value for regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are fragrance incense sticks by Auric Blends, not resin-burning sticks. The scent captures the warm, sacred character of frankincense and myrrh through fragrance rather than raw resin. They burn clean.
Yes, you need a standard stick incense holder with a hole sized for stick incense. An ash catcher style works well. Without a holder, the ash falls freely and the burning tip can pose a hazard. I carry stick holders in my incense burners section.
This is the 16-stick pack, which is a great trial or travel size. Each stick typically burns for approximately 55 minutes, though burn time can vary based on airflow and how the stick was stored. A still room extends burn time.
The 16-pack is the smaller size, good for sampling or casual use. I also carry the 95 to 100 stick bulk pack of the same scent for those who burn incense regularly and want to stock up at a better per-stick value.
