Stovetop Incense, sometimes called stovetop potpourri outside of magic circles, is a mixture of ingredients with a liquid base, simmered on the stove in a pan to fill the air with a lovely aroma. This recipe is intended to be simmered all day during Samhain to invite benevolent spirits into the home.
Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 inches of water
- 1 apple, cut into slices
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 5 rosemary sprigs
- 1 teaspoon of whole cloves
- few dashes of allspice
- 2 bay leaves, crushed
- optional: ¾ cup of wine or shot of dark liquor
Add water to pan and turn burner to medium-high. Add each ingredient while thinking of loved ones who have passed. Stir the mixture clockwise, asking for peaceful spirits to come into your home for the holiday. Wait until the water simmers, then turn down heat to medium. Stir periodically throughout the day, adding more water when necessary.
