Juniper Wood from various Juniperus species is a powerful and versatile incense. The hard, aromatic wood releases a fresh-spicy, slightly resinous fragrance when burned, reminiscent of both juniper berries and the aroma of gin.
Juniper was prized in many cultures across Europe and North America as a powerful purifying agent and protective plant. In incense practice, juniper wood is used for purification rituals, protection against evil spirits and disease, and for rites of passage. In the Mediterranean it was used in fumigations against the plague.
Use: Place small wood pieces or shavings on incense charcoal. A powerful, clear fragrance.
