Galangal has been said to be useful with flatulence, dyspepsia, vomiting stomach sickness, and sea-sickness. Galangal is an important ingredient in Abramelin oil and incense, where it acts as an uncommon binder between the male cinnamon and female myrrh.
Traditionally Galangal has been associated with Mars because of its ability to excite one sexually, but there is something quite different at work here. Galangal is the scent of the menstruating Priestess in her power, which both excites and frightens the male. When unitiated men feel threatened by a female, they seek to subdue that female and subject her to his power, which is a very Martial reaction. Most only notice the desire and fear of the male and call this herb Mars, but the male reaction is to the effect in the female of her power and not to the herb. The herb is acting through the female, onto the male.

How to burn Resin Incense
What you will need:
-- Your Resin, Herb or powder incense.
-- Charcoal Discs: you can find many varieties in our etsy store
-- A bowl, urn or plate: almost anything that can withstand heat will work. Often people add sand to a bowl to help absorb heat. Ornate traditional incense burners in metal are also recommended. We also carry Charcoal Tongs so you don't burn your fingers.
-- A lighter or matches: to start the self-igniting charcoal. A lighter is best
1. Light the charcoal and place it in your bowl or urn.Never hold the charcoal with your fingers - always use tongs or even pliers. Apply flame to the side of the charcoal for about 20 seconds. The charcoal will then self-ignite across the surface. Charcoals do not usually light easily if they are laying flat on some surface or in a bowl. It is best to hold the charcoal in the air with a tool when applying the flame to the charcoal.
2. Wait for the charcoal to ignite and warm up. This usually takes about 3 minutes. You will notice the charcoal starting to go gray around the edges.
3. Add resins, herbs or powder incense. Just place a small amount on top of the charcoal. The resins or herbs will begin to burn and release their essential oils through the smoke.
4. Enjoy. Every aromatic herb and resin has different properties, and can evoke different moods. Experiment and enjoy!
