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.

 - 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)
