Dragon Hand Blended Incense is part of Star Child's Avalonian range of incense and has been dedicated to the Dragon - both the mythical creature and the archetypal energy. The Dragon signifies the creative and regenerative powers of the Earth, a power that resides within all of us - though often it is latent. In many mythologies the symbol of the Dragon merges with that of the Serpent or "Winged Serpent". The Sages of India teach a technique of raising this dormant creative energy, which they call Kundalini. This incense may be burnt as an offering in Tantric rituals or Kundalini meditations and can be used to raise the Dragon power within.Avalonian Incense:Starchild's range of Avalonian incense is dedicated to the realm myth and legends, of magic and enchantment.
