Inanna - Mesopotamian Incense

Relaxing and seductive, this incense creates an enchanting atmosphere of love. It is a wonderful reminder to celebrate our mortality through the finite pleasures of our bodily senses.

For the Sumerians, sexuality was not merely a human impulse but a sacred force woven into the fabric of creation. Inanna, the Queen of Heaven, was the goddess of love, desire, and fertility, guiding the passions of mortals and the cycles of the natural world. Her worship celebrated intimacy as a source of life and renewal, echoed in the sacred rites that joined human and divine. Associated with Venus, the morning and evening star, she was a celestial emblem of vitality, a reminder that love and passion are powers that sustain both earth and cosmos. This incense evokes the essence of Inanna. 

 Galbanum, also called “the mother resin”, was indigenous to Mesopotamia; it relieves tension and relaxes.

 Storax is similarly calming and known as a great aid in dealing with insomnia. Feminine and seductive, storax was also burned on festive occasions in light of its dignified fragrance. It enhances the sweet and flowery ingredients of the mix and preserves the rest.

 Labdanum reconnects you with your body and brings warmth and sensuality.

 Mastic has a radiant energy and reinforces the other ingredients of the incense.

 Myrrh, considered by many peoples a divine fragrance, releases the energy of the earth and of the divine feminine, helping to connect with it.
