The most effective incenses when working with Morrigan
These are the best incenses for Morrigan. Check their properties and main features and choose the one you prefer that can help you strengthen your connection with Morrigan!
Nightshade
*I tried to find this one on Etsy, but I couldn’t find them… So let me know if there’s any reliable online shop selling them! 🙂
The original name of Nightshade is Atropa Belladonna, which derives from the “parca Atropa”, the one who had the task, in Greek mythology, of cutting the thread of people’s lives.
From it the substance called anthropine is obtained, used as an ointment from the name the whisper of the witches, on the occasion of the Sabbath, also it was used whenever a coven wanted to summon the devil. Nightshade incense is great for those who want to connect with the underworld and the afterlife.
Dragon’s blood
Since ancient times, it is believed that by burning this precious red substance, it is possible to exorcise evil, and attract love, and have good luck. Dragon’s Blood incense, in fact, has always found its greatest use in magical-religious rituals. In India, it is still used as ceremonial incense.
In witchcraft, it is indicated to increase the power of love and sexuality spells but, paradoxically, it is also used in compounds intended for abortive use. In Hoodoo, a type of African American witchcraft, like in New Orleans Voodoo, is used to attract money and love, but also to purify places and homes.
It is considered useful for protection during astral travel or simply during sleep. Dragon’s Blood incense is suitable for purifying environments before a ritual, as protection during summoning and invocation, and even exorcisms.

Blackthorn
*I tried to find this one on Etsy, but I couldn’t find them… So let me know if there’s any reliable online shop selling them! 🙂
Blackthorn incense embodies two different natures, lovingly intertwined with each other in a single, intricate design. Brightness and darkness, joy and pain, life and death, come together and entangle tightly in a perfect harmony of opposites, an intimate union that the ancients loved to examine. It was widely considered a representation of the completeness of being.
They probably saw the truth hidden beyond the appearance of forms, a truth that Christian preachers, having reached a time of profound change, did not know, and therefore considered diabolical. This is probably one of the reasons why the wild plum is remembered above all for its dark aspects, which made it a tree dear to witches, ambiguous and dangerous.
The dark color of its fruits, their sour and bitter taste, together with the impenetrable and tangled darkness of its branches, made it a disturbing and threatening shrub, similar to a creature of darkness, twisted and skeletal, which captured the unfortunate who they got too close, dragging them into the unknown darkness of its thorny recesses.
Witches were believed to use their long thorns to pierce fetishes and wax dolls, causing pain, disease, and, in some cases, death to their chosen victims.
A great incense stands as a symbol of Morrigan’s destructive power.
