Oland Botanicals
Unique Herbal blends, handcrafted Incense
All products are created using ethically wildcrafted or organically homegrown materials when possible.
Each Oland Botanical blend is a unique recipe with guidance from the Goddess. No synthetic oils, ingredients or diluents are used. Please remember ritual incense and oils are created to be conduits between you and the deities you honor. Each unique recipe contains ingredients carefully selected for the purpose designated by the blend name. In magical working, incense is not always about how pretty it smells. When burned, it gives off magical vibrations that are then carried into the ether to lend power to your rites and, equally important, the vibrations and scents are pleasing to the gods and spirits you are calling upon.
Oland Botanicals recommends smoldering incense to prevent burning and thus improving the scent of the incense. This is accomplished by using a Mica plate or ceramic tile. Therefore a ceramic tile is included free with your first purchase as some materials used in this line of incense give an offensive odor when burned directly on charcoal.
Most self-lighting charcoal contains saltpeter. Modern saltpeter contains potassium nitrate. Potassium nitrate while burning gives of toxic fumes, which are then inhaled. Therefore Bamboo charcoal is recommended.
To provide the best ingredients at the lowest cost your incense is in a plastic bag. It is recommended that the incense be transferred into a glass container if you are not going to use it soon. This prevents leaching of plastic into the incense. It also prevents leaching away of the incense aromatics.
