    What better way to greet the returning Sun than with the sweet smell of your own homemade incense?  Incense is easy to make, clears the winter mustiness from rooms and can lend a very personal touch to your Circle workings.
    Following is the recipe for an "all occasion" incense as well as a recipe specific to the Yuletide season.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 parts Frankincense                        1/2 part Rose Petals
2 parts Myrrh                                1/4 part Rosemary
1 part Sandalwood                          1/2 part Cinnamon                                      1/4 part Bay Leaves

Grind all ingredients, combine and mix thoroughly.  If you can buy the frankincense and myrrh already ground, it is most helpful as resins can be difficult to grind.  If not, use your mortar and pestle or the modern witches equivalent, the herb grinder.  If you can't find sandalwood, is is ok to grind up some incense cones in that scent.

2 parts Frankincense                            2 parts Pine needles or resin
1 part Cedar wood or needles              1 part Juniper berries

Prepare as above.  Burn at Yule and throughout the winter to cleanse the house.
Remember to keep your incense in airtight containers.
