You are finally ready for the task. The Moon is at the
                    time and you want to start. But How? Here are a few
                    simple Incense recipes for the New Witch. All can be
                    Used for multi-uses.

                    *********************************************************

                              Here are a few pointers that you should know before you
                    start:
                    1) Be sure that all herbs, spices, peels and flowers are
                        completely dry.
                    2) All dry ingredients must be ground into a fine powder.
                    3) Mix all ingredients in a small glass container with a
                        clean stick or your finger.
                    4)  Let the incense stand overnight.
                    5) Store any unused incense in a tightly capped glass jar,
                        away from the light.
                    6) These incenses need self igniting charcoal. Check for
                        pagan stores in your area, or check out Crone's Cupboard
                        web page.
                    7) Most important, for the best results, try to blend your
                        energies with the incense as you make it and use it.
