Usually, for every magickal endeavor you want to make incense for, there is a household correspondence that you can use to make it. We wouldn't be Witches if we weren't crafty, right?

Some texts that will help you find correspondences (If you can't buy them yourself, you can always browse them at a bookstore and take notes. Places like Barnes and Nobles carries these kinds of books. They are worth buying secretly and sneaking home, imho.) :

>kitchen witch

Kitchen witch is specifically a term for those who practice magic that is quick and simple. More like "folk magick" -- so called because a lot of the ingredients for this magic are found in the kitchen. For example, a kitchen with might boil someone's picture in salt in order to purify them of any bad influences. Or put a representation of someone in the freezer in order to cool them off and stop them from doing harm.

>What resources do you use for herbal knowledge?

It really depends on how much you already know. If you are an absolute beginner I recommend Cunningham's two books on the subject. The first is a reference book on Herbs and their magical properties called Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. The second is his Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews. The first one really talks abotu the herbs themselves, but the second one gives you different ways to use the herbs by making oils or essences out of them.

> I live in an apartment and would like to grow my own herbs, no balcony. Where do I start?

I would google search for something called "urban gardening" it's a really big movement of people who discuss just this. I don't know a lot about it personally but I'm sure you will find others here who do.

Hope this helps :-)

Also, Scott Cunningham's The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews is a great resource for figuring out what oils will work best for you and ideas on how to use them. :)

Really hard to go wrong with Scott Cunningham:
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Incense-Llewellyns-Practical-Magick/dp/0875421288. There is also an assortment of pre-made incenses on Amazon as well as materials for making. I have always enjoyed the pre-made incenses from Escential Essences.

Scott Cunningham did a book on incense that has been recommended: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Incense-Llewellyns-Practical-Magick/dp/0875421288

There's also Carl Neal's book: http://www.amazon.com/Incense-Crafting-Use-Magickal-Scents/dp/0738703362

A site I buy my incense resins from: http://www.mermadearts.com

Sometimes I burn the resins on charcoal, but most of the time, I have the resins on a gently cupped piece of aluminum foil resting on a grate on top of a votive holder with a tea light candle in it.

You can get electronic incense warmers from Mermade Arts, too. It's a way to heat the resins much more gently than with charcoal or flame.

The best information comes from personal experience. That said, there is significantly more useful information in printed books than on the internet: Try books by Marian Green, Ronald Hutton, and others (disregard pretty much anything published by Llewellyn unless it was written by Scott Cunningham [who despite "fluffy bunny" leanings knows his stuff, herbally] or another author you know to trust).

You might also want to hang around the magical blogosphere at places like Runesoup, Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom, Witch of Forest Grove, etc. The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. site is tacky as all hell (deliberately so) but an incredible resource, just bear in mind that Cat Yronwode (though very well-informed) is not the end-all be-all to conjure.

I’m heavily into African spirituality. Voodoo, crystals, candles, incense etc.

This is one of my favorite books

Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062508598/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_y7hGDb93DHJHD

And this one:

I had a wonderful spell book I bought at a botanical in Florida years ago. It worked so well for me but I lost it and can’t remember the name. Now I scour botanicas in every city I travel looking for this book.

Is this supposed to be shocking knowledge? I am not being sarcastic I am really unsure. I thought this and other things similar were common knowledge or at least not shocking. There are males who fly and flew too. :D

For the gents who'd like a subtle lift drink damiana to get stiff. It persuades the blood to visit the nethers. I think there may be a spot of science to back that up too, but the witches (Wiccan perhaps and mostly otherwise since that religion is pretty modern) have understood the nature of that plant for some time.

There are two recipes for flying ointment in one of Cunningham's books both of which he cautions not to use. But my favorite and clearly off base one is the creepy one Young Goodman Brown's old Sunday school teacher speaks of in Hawthorne's story of that name. Of course, she used the fat of a newborn babe.

Meh, witches always get the short end of the st... well, maybe not.
