Where to Get Charcoal Disks
If you’ve never burned loose incense before, you might be wondering where to get those charcoal disks to place in your cauldron or fire safe bowl.
Most occult or magic shops carry them, but not everyone has access to these specialty stores.
Alternatively, Amazon carries (affiliate link —–>) charcoal disks.
But the cheapest place I’ve found them is in Middle Eastern stores or markets that sell hookah supplies, so if you have one near you, check there first!
Correspondencias mágicas
The light, bright scent of this blend calls to mind all the glory and freshness of spring. Each ingredient symbolizes something uniquely beautiful about the season of spring.
Manzanilla
This tea-friendly herb appears in many spring blends.
In its fresh state, chamomile features a cheerful yellow center. We use it in this blend to represent the days growing longer and the key role of sun magic in the months to come.
Menta
One of the first herbs to come bursting out of the soil in spring, menta represents new growth, potential and abundance.
Its bright green color and crisp aroma “spring cleans” the mind, body and soul.
Lavanda
The soft purple hue of lavender flower represents the traditional pastel color palette of spring.
Ostara eggs, spring dresses and seasonal decorations often feature lavender’s painterly color.
Additionally, lavender softens the spirit and dispels the tough mental fortitude needed to get through a harsh winter.
Rosas
Although typically associated with love spells, rosa also stirs the heart of the gardener.
Prized for its beauty and mourned for its fragile constitution in flower beds, the inclusion of rosas in spring blends inspires us to work the land to make something lovely grow.
Orange Essential Oil
A potent citrus, orange essential oil inspires clarity of thought, creativity and the foresight of careful planning.
We add it here to remind us that we reap what we sow, and spring is the time to get sowing!!
