Kyphi Incense
Author Unknown
(Kyphi Tsa)
This recipe was reconstructed from ancient Egyptian papyri. Although an ingredient or two may not have translated correctly, this should be pretty close to the actual incense used in Egyptian temples.
Ingredient
3/4 Parts Honey
3 Parts Raisins
1/4 Part Copal
1/4 Part Myrrh
1/4 Part Orris
1 Part Sandalwood
1/4 Part Storax
1/2 Part Frankincense
1/2 Part Cinnamon
Red Wine (enough to moisten mixture)
Benzoin (enough to roll balls in)
Thoroughly grind all ingredients separately, then mix together groups of ingredients by nature: resinous together, powdery together, etc. Finally, mix all batches together, add red wine to moisten, then roll into 5/8" balls and roll balls in benison. Lay out on waxed paper for a week or so, until firm.
CAUTION: Incense balls will look like donut holes. Be careful that folks know
that these scrumptious looking balls of incense that you've left laying around are NOT edible!
The balls can be used when firm, but for best results, they should be allowed to cure a few weeks. Kyphi I've had for two years is better than ever.

Most of the recipes below are for loose incense that is to be burned on charcoal tablets.
Incense has been used for centuries and can be used for many purposes including aromatherpay, reduction of stress, easing depression, repeling mosquitoes, enhancing meditation or prayer, and improving concentration.
Incense burns hot and produces ash that can fall off as it burns, so you'll need a container or surface that is fireproof. A heavy ceramic bowl filled with at least an inch of sand, salt or ash works well. Metal or ceramic censers can be purchased that either hang on a light chain or have feet to hold them safely above a table surface. Other options might be shells or concave shaped stones (either natural or drilled for this purpose). Be sure that what ever you use is on a safe surface.
If you have a tendency toward allergies, use incense cautiously at first. The
oils and resins are potent and concentrated, and inhaling the smoke can
sometimes irritate sensitive respiratory systems.
Please note that I have given credit when I know the origin of the recipe. *Cunningham-denotes items that have been attributed to Scott Cunningham-author of Incense, Oils and Brews (among others). I am not sure if they are all this author's but since they have been attributed to him else where I have given credit-If you have other information please contact me and I will make any corrections necessary.
The recipes are listed directly below alphabetically but are on the page as I find, make them or receive them from other sources. Enjoy ! :)
