This powered incense can be cast into the fire or burned on a charcoal briquette.
3 parts Myrrh
3 parts Frankincense
2 parts Dragon's Blood
1 part Cinnamon
1 part Benzoin
1/2 part Sandalwood

Blend each ingredient in a coffee grinder (dedicated to this purpose)
Combine powders in a red or yellow bowl.
