The transparent droplets of the resin of the mastic tree result especially from the Greek island of Chios. It is from there that, already in the time, Egypt imported this very appreciated incense which they called moreover " the smell which pleases the gods ". Its perfume raises our spirit upward, towards the light and facilitates the capacities of vision and intuition.
Consisted of natural Greece Mastic resins and from the coal of healthy wood, the Incense is hand crushed in a china mortar. Then the vegetable purple caps (l. 2,2 cm, d. 0,8 cm) are filled one by one and covered in the mortar with the obtained Dust. The filling is made back to front by numerous rotary movements of fingers to place the maximum of Incense there. Finally caps are wiped again one by one carefully to remove their coats of Incense Dust acquired during their passages in the china mortar.
Open by pulling out and turning slowly in the set directions the hood and the body of a white caps with Salt Dust and spread its contents in a reserved Censer exclusively for that purpose. Then open in the same way a caps of Incense Dust and pour its contents in the form of cone. Light the point, blow delicately on the flame and restore life in an old scent of more than 5 000 years.
At the middle-combustion return the rest of the cone with a blade. At the end mix ashes with the Salt. Thanks to the Salt Dust which is conductive of heat, the time of combustion of an Incense Dust caps can practically double. Censers begin to give the best of themselves at the end of about twenty caps, at the rate of 1 Salt Dust caps for 4 Incense Dust caps.
This is a craft product made with natural elements. But as any product appealing to the fire, use it in and on an appropriate support. Never leave it without surveillance and hold the children aside. Do not swallow.
