September 11, 2001, was a day when the world held its breath and watched events unfolding in New York. The internet was still in its infancy, and I remember getting my first home computer that day and I couldn’t get online. It was only later in the evening that I learned what had happened.

Many practitioners reached for the frankincense that day, as this is one of the most sacred oils and is used in many cleansing, anointing, remembering, and protection rituals. It is used as an offering to the gods and goddesses at certain times of the year. However, it can also be used for spells concerning clairvoyance and divination.

Further, frankincense is good for protection magic, both for family and loved ones and also for work and career. It is particularly beneficial if you have been under psychic attack and need rebalancing or have been involved with negative and toxic people. The antiseptic qualities of frankincense cleanse and release the toxic residue buildup mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Frankincense is probably one of the oldest goods ever traded. This aromatic compound was used from ancient times as incense in India and China and in Christian worship. The ancient Egyptians used it to prepare rejuvenating face masks. However, it was also used in food, especially desserts such as frankincense ice cream, Turkish delight, and hard-boiled sweets. (Never use undiluted pure essential oil in food, and always check the label.)

If you think you have been under psychic attack, then create a frankincense bath soak with Epsom salts. Using a mortar and pestle, crush together one tablespoon of frankincense with five tablespoons of Epsom salts. Place in a sealable glass jar and label it. Add a scoop of the mixture to a bath or foot soak. Psychic attack can happen at any time and to anyone, and generally the victim will feel tired and weak. If symptoms persist, seek a doctor’s advice.
