How Can I Use Benzoin In Spells?
Fragrant benzoin resin, derived from the Styrax tree, has been used in spiritual practices for centuries.
In spellwork, it is often used in the form of benzoin incense, as it burns well and emits a warm, vanilla-like scent that can help create a calm and focused atmosphere ideal for meditation and spellcasting.
It is also often used in purification rituals, love spells, prosperity magic, and as an offering during ritual work.
Benzoin is particularly helpful in enhancing the energy of other herbs or ingredients in a spell.
You can add a small amount to any spellwork to amplify its power.
In addition, you can also infuse benzoin into oil to create a potent anointing oil that can be used to consecrate your magical tools or used in rituals.
