Sweet Fortune Prosperity Incense
You will need:
- the contents of one vanilla bean
- 6 grains of paradise (or 3 black peppercorns)
- about 2 tablespoons of benzoin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 gold leaf
Starting with the vanilla, grains of paradise and benzoin, grind everything together in a mortar and pestle. Give the first dose to Eshu (or your Gate Keeper), and the next to Oshun (or your Goddess of Prosperity). Use the rest as needed, preferably once a week on Saturdays to draw prosperity and happy good fortune to your household.
Mean Green Money Incense
You will need:
- a dose of sweet chewing or hookah tobacco, preferably with mint or apple and mint flavor
- 2 tablespoons benzoin, preferably Sumatra
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon mint if the tobacco isn’t already mint flavored
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon chopped cinnamon leaves (you can usually find these in tea shops)
Starting with the tobacco and benzoin, crush everything in a mortar and pestle. Give the first dose to Eshu, and the second to Oshun. Then it is ready to use. Burn this when you need money fast.
