What is self-lighting powder incense?

Self-lighting powder incense contains an oxidizer that lets it ignite without a charcoal disk. It burns faster and hotter than charcoal-based incense and is best used in small quantities on a heat-resistant surface or in a sand-lined cauldron.

What is lodestone used for in hoodoo?

Lodestone is a core drawing curio in hoodoo work, used to magnetize and attract love, money, luck, opportunity, or a specific desired outcome. Working lodestones are kept as living altar pieces and fed with magnetic sand to keep their drawing current active. As a modern powder incense, this blend is meant to carry that same drawing principle in burnable form for use in candle work, mojo bags, and ritual sessions.

Can lodestone incense be used with candles?

Yes. The most common use is sprinkling a ring of powder around the base of a red, pink, green, or yellow candle (matched to the type of drawing — love, money, luck) as part of a working. The incense can also be used to roll a lightly oiled candle in the powder before the ritual burn so the lodestone formula ignites alongside the flame.

How much incense should I use per burning session?

A small pinch, roughly one-quarter to one-half teaspoon, is enough for one focused session. Using more does not strengthen the drawing and produces excess smoke in enclosed spaces. One ounce provides ten to twenty sessions at reasonable use.
