Bundles of herbs tied with string and burnt as part of ritual cleansing and purifying is a process that has been used by people for thousands of years. These herb bundles aid in dispelling negative thoughts, finding calm amongst chaos and opening the heart to gratitude, they are perfect for healers, practitioners and for personal smudging rituals, as they are smaller and ideal for individual session use. They are also a wonderful addition to smudging packs.
To use: holding the bundle over a saucer or bowl, light the tips so that smoke is generated. Stand at the entrance of the space you wish to clear and move in a direction that is consistent throughout the whole area. Using a feather or your hand, waft the smoke through and around the space, ‘collecting’ dense energy for removal. Return to starting position and send the energy out of your space for Universal cleansing and transmutation. Safely extinguish the herb bundle.
Since Time Immemorial, flowers, leaves, roots and stems were collected and used for scent, wellbeing and healing. Over time, knowledge about the properties of herbs was shared and improved to the understandings we have today.
Herbs were used as incense, poultices, teas, infusions and talismans. They were used to heal the body and soothe the soul and were an integral ingredient in the workings of every healer and wise woman. You can enrich your practice by following simple recipes or creating your own blends. The selection we offer here is a combination of those available in 14th Century Britain and those most commonly used today. Potion Portions allow you to buy every herb you require, as well as the candles, charcoal disks and resins to accompany them. Happy Potioning!

A Charcoal roll contains 10 individual tablets, with the tablet diameter 33mm for Swift-Lite.
The charcoal tablet provides a heat source on which to smoulder your herbs and resins for a dramatic and atmospheric incense experience.
How do you use the charcoal tablets?
Remove a tablet from the sealed roll and, holding with tongs, light the edge of the tablet with a lighter, match or candle. The tablet will then light across its surface. There may be some sparks, this is normal and is required to completely ignite the charcoal.
Place the lit tablet in a censer or heatproof dish. Lightly sprinkle resins and/or herbs onto the tablet. Do not smother the tablet.
As the resin smoulders, there will be a lot of smoke. This is normal and part of the purpose of using this method. Ensure adequate ventilation or use outside.
Use tongs to scrape away the ash and add more resins/herbs. Tablet will continue to burn for about 40 minutes.
The tablet should be left to burn out and cool in the censer.
If the tablet is to be extinguished before it is fully cooled then it should be placed in a container of water.
Safety Warning:
When the tablet has been lit, do not handle it with bare hands as it will cause burns.
Do not dispose of the ash remains in a bin as this may cause a fire.
Do not hold the tablet in your hand when lighting or when burning.
Keep out of reach of children.
Safety Hint:
Use stainless steel tongs to safely handle hot charcoal.
Always use on a heatproof surface. Keep away from flammable materials.

Wooden incense boat with a hole at the curved end to hold your incense stick. Pictured here with brass Elephant inlay, other designs include Buddha, Peace symbol, Yin Yang symbol, or an Ohm symbol. Also available in a shorter size and in purple.
A Ceramic Charcoal Burner with an engraved Pentagram design is suitable for Charcoal, Resins, Herbs, Incense Powder, and Incense Cones.
The high content of silica in this ceramic and the burners unique design minimises heat transfer which makes the burner safer to handle. The handles of the burner still get quite warm but not as hot as to burn the skin, and the base did not get hot enough to mark the plastic bag we placed it on while the burner was in use. A vast difference to brass or other ceramic burners. That said, caution should always be exercised when handling a hot burner. Keep away from anything flammable. Charcoal gets extremely hot.
