Native traditions tell that where there is cedar, evil will not enter. I invite you to light a stick, sit back and enjoy this very sacred herb. Took Fred 5 weeks to make this by hand. Burning instructions: Light the tip of the incense with a match. Blow out quickly in 2 or 3 seconds. Continue with this procedure until a "glow" appears. This will help the resin not to bubble, drip, or put itself out. Place horizontally in a safe ash catcher. Occasionally, the incense may stop burning. We do not add chemicals to help it burn. Just relight and enjoy!! Keep out of heat and sun.
