Myrrh
Myrrh is a complex essence and contains many different energies. Myrrh thrives in full sun and was used in ancient Egyptian rites as an incense of Ra, so the solar correspondence is evident. The plant’s thorns and dark, blood-like resin also lead to an association with Mars.
However, most esoteric scholars associate Myrrh with the Moon, particularly the phase of the Black Moon. A secondary planetary correspondence would be Saturn, which rules darkness and death.
As for the Wicca current, Myrrh is most frequently associated with the element of water, closely related to the Moon. Indeed, myrrh certainly has some watery attributes such as its links with pain, contemplation, and the womb. Myrrh leads us into the depths of emotion to work its healing magic.

When to use them?
You can use incense when the new moon is at its peak but also the day before the peak and the day after it! If you have some intentions you want to work on, some dream to plan and some magic to perform, they can help you with everything.

Sticks or grains?
It’s your call! I love sticks and they work just great for me but if you want to use grains, you can totally do that!
Do I need a burner?
If you are going to use grains yes, an incense burner is a mandatory tool to burn grains safely, but if you are going to use an incense stick, you don’t need one. However, you might consider using an incense holder, especially if you want to leave the incense burn all by itself.
