The Lunar Essences Sub-Brand: Moon Characters in Scent
This is not a standard Escential Essences stick. It belongs to the Lunar Essences series, a distinct sub-line where each fragrance is named for a specific character or aspect of the moon rather than a single botanical note. Each scent focuses on a different quality of the moon that a practitioner might want to embody or invoke, and comes paired with a quotation from a historical figure whose words reflect that lunar quality. The Moon Goddess variant centers on Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic, healing, and transformation, honored for her steadfastness, loyalty, and sovereign power.
Isis as a lunar deity has roots in the religious traditions of ancient Egypt, where she was called the Great Mother and associated with the throne itself. Her name in hieroglyphs depicts a throne, and her role as the one who resurrected Osiris and protected Horus placed her at the center of the most enduring myth of death, renewal, and maternal power in the ancient world. Her worship spread throughout the Hellenistic world and into Rome, where Isis temples flourished alongside native Roman gods, making her one of the most widely venerated goddesses of antiquity.
Using Lunar Incense with Moon Phase Practice
Incense sticks are a particularly natural tool for lunar work because their burn time maps to a meditation session or a short ritual, giving the practitioner a smoke-based timer marking the beginning and end of focused work. The Moon Goddess scent is well-suited for the full moon, when lunar energy is at its peak and practitioners across Wiccan, eclectic, and goddess-focused traditions gather for esbats, divination, and work tied to completion, gratitude, and the culmination of intentions set at the new moon. It is also appropriate for any devotional moment directed toward Isis or other goddess figures associated with steadfast love and protective power.

These sticks are made in the USA by Escential Essences using cosmetic-grade fragrance oils on a bamboo core. They are 11 inches long and produce a steady, columnar smoke trail suited for both indoor altar work and meditation spaces. The 16-stick format is a practical trial size, enough to work with the scent across several lunar cycles before committing to a larger supply.
How to Use Moon Goddess Lunar Essences Incense Sticks
How to incorporate Moon Goddess Lunar Essences incense sticks into lunar phase rituals and goddess devotion.
- Align with the Lunar Phase
Check the current moon phase before your session. This stick suits full moon esbats best. Set up your altar with lunar symbols, goddess imagery, or crystals like selenite or moonstone that support your intention for the working ahead.
- Light and Dedicate the Stick
Light the tip, let it flame briefly, then blow out the flame to start the smoke. Speak or hold a short dedication to the Moon Goddess or Isis, acknowledging her steadfastness, loyalty, and protective power as the incense begins to rise.
- Work or Meditate Through the Burn
Use the burn time for meditation, divination, journaling, or ritual work. When the stick finishes, close with gratitude. Store remaining sticks away from direct light to maintain fragrance oil integrity across multiple lunar rituals.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
The Lunar Essences line earns a place in my incense rotation precisely because it goes beyond generic moon fragrance marketing. Each scent in the series is tethered to a specific lunar character, a specific goddess aspect, and a specific set of qualities, which gives practitioners a meaningful entry point rather than just a pleasant smell. Moon Goddess focuses on Isis: her steadfastness and protective sovereignty are qualities worth invoking deliberately. For tools that complement lunar goddess work, explore my gods and goddesses collection for statues, altar pieces, and devotional items.
