Germanic Incense Blends

The ancient Germanic tribes were nature-loving people for whom incense rituals were a natural part of their lives. Most of what we can learn today about our past culture is based on myths and excavations. For example, so-called "incense cakes" have been found in many archaeological excavations. These are clumps of resin and plant remains that indicate the incense substances used. Well combined with mythological, logical and intuitive knowledge, this results in a rich treasure of "Germanic knowledge", which we would like to revive with our Germanic Incense Blends. Christian Rätsch has chosen the shaman god Wotan in his eagle form as the symbol for this incense series.
"The eagle is the classic shaman bird. Wotan can take on the form of an eagle and fly into other realities. He is the god who strives for knowledge; he wants to know everything, he wants knowledge. Wotan is the master of the art of magic. We refer to shamanism as the art of magic." from: Christian Rätsch - Der Heilige Hain.
