SPRING EQUINOX INCENSE

21st March

The sap is rising and the buds are swollen, ready to burst. Nature stirs from her Winter's slumber - the first teasing rays of the Sun tickle her awake. The birds are returning and are singing the song of the rising sun. Still timid, yet determined, the first flowers are poking their heads out above the ground - so tender, so fragile, so infinitely brave and strong. The young Sun God and the Maiden Goddess frolic playfully in the fields, innocent, yet full of anticipation of their growing power and fertility.

Spring Equinox is a time to celebrate, with wild abandon, the beauty and power of youth, the rebirth of life and the hope and potential of the coming season.

How to Burn Star Child Incense
Use a suitable Grated / Sieved Burner or a Charcoal Disc in an appropriate holder.

Charcoal Disc:
Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in a fireproof dish, well away from flammable objects. The charcoal discs can be ignited simply by holding a match or lighter to the rim. Be aware that these discs may spit and sparkle profusely upon ignition. Allow plenty of air to flow around the charcoal to ensure that it burns evenly. Once the charcoal disc has finished sparkling it will start to glow, usually first on one side, then slowly spreading over the whole disc. When the entire disc is glowing red hot it is ready to use and you can place a pinch of incense on top. As the disc burns, the fire will concentrate in its centre. You may occasionally want to scrape off the ashes to expose the glowing centre and add fresh incense as desired.
