Frankincense is a hardened gum-like material (resin) that comes from the trunk of the Boswellia Tree.

Magical Uses: In modern magical traditions, frankincense is often used as a purifier – burn the resin to cleanse a sacred space. Because it is believed that the vibrational energies of frankincense are particularly powerful, many people mix frankincense with other herbs to give them a magical boost. When burned, frankincense releases powerful vibrations which not only uplift those of the area, but also drive out all evil and negativity. Frankincense is therefore used in incenses for exorcism, protection, purification and consecration. It is also burned to induce visions and to aid in meditation, and is added to sachets for luck, protection and spiritual growth. Rosemary may be used as a substitute for frankincense.

These herbs, resins, roots, flowers, and powders are meant to be used for spell and ritual work not for human consumption.
