Myrrh Powder

Tears of the Ancients

Myrrh is the dark, amber resin bled from the Commiphora tree, treasured since the oldest temples of the world. Called the Perfume of the Dead and the Healer of the Living, it carries a deep, earthy sweetness that speaks of tombs, cradles, and every sacred passage between. Where frankincense lifts the spirit upward, myrrh draws the soul inward—toward memory, roots, and the quiet wisdom beneath the skin.

Magical Virtues

• honoring ancestors and the beloved dead
• protection during spirit work and mediumship
• healing grief, trauma, and old emotional wounds
• consecrating altars, bones, and sacred tools
• strengthening bindings, vows, and lasting magic

Myrrh is a resin of solemn truth. It does not hurry; it listens. Witches call on it when working with endings, initiations, shadow healing, or any rite that asks the heart to be brave.
