Aromatic Wood Shavings for Incense

Aromatic Wood Shavings for Incense .75oz 

All-natural wood shavings from locally and ethically harvested logs. We never kill trees for wood-working or otherwise. 

Instead of letting woodworking leftovers go to waste, we've turned them into something special. Each variety we offer has been selected for the unique aromatic scents they release when burned, as well as the spiritual associations of each tree.

Place the shavings in a firesafe bowl that has a lid (like a cauldron), light them and allow them to burn for a moment. Smother the fire with the lid, uncover it, and allow the embers to smolder and smoke. Do not leave them burning unattended. 


Fir -  direction, abundance, wholeness; Fir invokes emotions connected to the Winter Solstice, it carries a warm, almost festive fragrance. It transports you to the forest.

Cottonwood - strengthening spells, healing, prosperity, calming fear; Cottonwood brings a toasty, roasty energy about it. When burning, it produces a warm and comforting scent with earthy undertones, creating an atmosphere that is both cozy and grounding. 

Western Red Cedar - cleansing, longevity, protection, preservation; When burning, it gives off a particularly interesting smell. Like a pencil box, with notes of licorice. The fragrance is almost like a little journey back to grade school. 

Red Maple - intellect, knowledge, communication, beauty, binding, abundance, art; There's nothing more to say about it. When burned, Red Maple smells like a pancakey maple-syruppy breakfast. It's delicious.

Norway Maple - intellect, knowledge, communication, beauty, binding, abundance, art; When burning Norway Maple, it almost smells like walking into a magic shop that someone's cleansed with incense. 

Big Leaf Maple - intellect, knowledge, communication, beauty, binding, abundance, art; Like the Norway Maple, the scent this gives off when burning smells like the inside of a metaphysical shop, but more earthy, and sweet.

Cork Oak - success, prosperity, healing, protection, potency, cleansing; Cork Oak is by far my favorite scent, it smells like antiques, or an old bookshop. It fills the room with a hint of nostalgia that evokes the sensory magic of reading on paper. 

Sweet Cherry - grounding, stability, focus; Sweet cherry, oddly, smells like mulled cider spice. It has a hint of clove, citrus and cinnamon. 

Western Hemlock - protection, purification, grounding, healing, divination, transformation; Western Hemlock smells like a good, clean fireplace. Much like the Fir, it brings about a feeling that connects to the winter season. It's fragrance is warm, woody, and sweet with a touch of citrus.
