Fixed Star Vega Elected Incense
Fixed Star Vega is the Swooping Vulture, the oft-vampiric Witchmother of the Behenian Fixed Stars rivaling the Necromantic Wing of Corvus in her knowledge of the arts magical. Even so, she is benefic, and willing to aid those who call upon her with a stern but patient temperament. She if of Venus and of Mercury, after all. Vega is a star of plenty, like many of the Behenii, but she is also a fierce protector against enchantment and maleficia, as well as a teacher in those arts. She grants the gifts of greatness, of protection against wicked spirits, of power over beasts, of artistic and magical inspiration, and of dominion over spirits and people alike. Hermes says of Vega that "Savory juice with an equal amount of the herb called fumitory and with a little of the stone called turonso, etc. grants favor with beasts, protects from scabies, that is, against demons, nocturnal phantoms, and fears." This star makes a great ally to the witch, and especially to the one who works with spirits of a fickle nature; it makes one powerful in life and in spirit, and increases one's influence through their word and through their art. It endows the tongue with the ability to charm and to appeal to gods, demons, and spirits, while granting protection against the same. As such, it enhances one's ability for magic and spirit communion. Nigel Jackson, in his Celestial Magic interprets Vega's effect as "[...]promoting self-esteem, magnanimity and pride[...]".
This Fixed Star Vega Elected Incense was crafted from a base of Myrrh resin and Red Sandalwood powder, blended with powerful herbal allies sacred to the star of the Falling Vulture. These include ground Coriander seed, Fumitory, ground Succory root, Liquorice root, and roasted flour. Together, these odorous spices, woods, and resins give this incense a slightly sweet, almost medicinal scent which is pleasing to the spirits; when burned, it fills the air with the sensual smell of Myrrh, Coriander, and Sandalwood, reminiscent of spice markets which would have lined the streets of Egypt when they venerated this star as Ma'at. This incense was consecrated and presented to Vega as part of a ritual to draw down the Falling Vulture's rays to make this incense as well as its sister oil, tincture, powder, candles, and talismans true talismanic objects of the fixed star Vega. These were then left to rest, and to be further ensorcelled by the Cut-Wife, upon the altar of the Winter Mother, at the request of whom this collection was crafted.
This incense should be burned in rituals to call upon the star of the Vulture and her spirits, but also to feed talismans, vessels, and tools pertaining to her sphere. It can be used as an offering to the star during rites of devotion, but it can also be burned to protect the home against maleficia and evil spirits. This makes it especially useful to burn prior to performing baneful magics, such as cursing and binding work. It can also be used to make our words important, and to make our petitions to spirits more convincing, as Vega serves to grant dominion over gods, demons, and spirits. This incense can also be burned as part of meditation or trance work sessions to learn directly from Vega and her spirits, or to gain inspiration in magical and creative pursuits.
