Ancient Smoke, Still Working
Myrrh is one of the oldest sacred resins on record, used for thousands of years in ancient Egyptian embalming, Abrahamic consecration rites, and purification rituals across the Middle East and North Africa. I stock the Escential Essences line from Auric Blends because they’ve been consistent in fragrance quality and burn performance for as long as I’ve been carrying incense. These are fragrance incense cones, not essential oil cones, and the scent is crafted for burning, not diffusion.
The myrrh fragrance here is deep, warm, and resinous with a slightly bitter-sweet earthiness underneath. It doesn’t smell sweet or floral. It smells old, in the best way, like something that belongs in a temple or a space being deliberately set apart from the ordinary. If you work with frankincense, you’ll find these pair beautifully. The smoke is full and steady, and the cone burns longer than you’d expect for the size.
Ritually, myrrh carries a long association with healing, protection, grief work, and the banishing of illness energy. It’s been used in mourning ceremonies, consecration, and deepening meditation practice across multiple traditions. Whether you’re building a protection working, sitting with grief, or just want a grounding smoke that anchors you before a reading or ritual, this is a reliable choice. You can also browse my granular resin incense if you’re looking for raw myrrh resin to burn on charcoal, or check out my cone and granular incense burners if you need a proper heat-safe base for these cones.
How to Burn Myrrh Incense Cones
Burn myrrh incense cones safely and with purpose in three steps.
- Set Up Your Burner
Choose a heat-safe cone incense burner and place it on a fireproof surface, well away from curtains or paper. Set one myrrh cone upright in the burner's center cavity so the smoke can draft freely around it.
- Light and Ember the Cone
Light the tip of the cone with a match or lighter until a small flame appears, then gently blow it out. A glowing ember and thin curl of smoke means it's burning correctly. Never leave burning incense unattended.
- Set Your Intention
State your intention as the myrrh smoke rises. Use it for meditation, purification, grief ritual, or just to shift the energy in a room. Let the cone burn fully and allow the smoke to settle before clearing the ash.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Auric Blends has been producing the Escential Essences line for decades, and I stock it because the fragrance formulas hold up from batch to batch. That consistency matters more to me than novelty. These aren’t the most artisan cones you’ll find, and they’re not trying to be. What they are is dependable: the myrrh scent is recognizable, the burn is long and even, and the ash stays put in the burner rather than flaking off. If you’re new to cone incense, keep the room slightly ventilated, especially the first time you burn a new scent. A cracked window is enough.
