 Elemi
Gum
Canarium
luzonicum
This resin is of Mercury and helps
strengthen mental and psychic capacity and is an aid in the acquisition
of magickal skills and knowledge.
It is composed of solid resin and 20-30% of essential oil, so
it is much softer than resins of related trees, like myrrh and
frankincense. Nor does it smell like them--its clarifying and
energizing scent is citrusy with a lot of dill-weed to it. That
makes sense because chemically the essential oil has much in common
with the dill family. The ancient Egyptians used it in the
mummification
process, and in the West it has been made into liniments for treating
rheumatic pain, burns, and sores. Like most essential oils, it
is antiseptic, fungicidal, and insecticidal. This is high quality
elemi from the Philippines.  It is soft and white with brown specks in
it, perfume grade rather than industrial grade. It smells
fabulous when heated, a combination of fresh and citrus combined with
the typical, heavy smell of plant resin. If you make your own incense,
elemi is great as a binder for a fresher scent than, say, labdanum, balsam, or storax, yet not so
sweet as honey. It is sticky and delightfully fragrant—really high quality stuff!
