The Blood of the Earth, I am in love with this resin not because of the smell but because of its wonderful ability to transform, it is like penetrating to the root of the matter and there transforming inappropriate energies, my right hand in classrooms and process circles. Harvested from thorny trees that grow in the Middle East, Temple medicine. An antiseptic that disinfects, soothes the body, has qualities of preserving and protecting the space, and it connects me to the earth and helps me to ground myself. Its mysterious smell throws me into distant lands, and brings back distant memories of previous incarnations, Myrrh oil was used in ancient times for embalming. Found in many medicines, it helps wounds heal and is like divine iodine.
