During this winter holyday season I always make a change in my incense offering to Hestia.  I love making my own herbal incenses, and this particular blend has easily obtained materials.  You will burn this on a coal tab, so be sure you have a heat proof dish that has sand or salt in the bottom.

For this incense you will need:

2 parts frankincense tears (resin)

2 parts pine needles

1 part cedar

1 part juniper berries.

I like to grind these up in a mortar and pestle that I keep specifically for the purpose of grinding herbs and resins.  Use this is for your daily rituals during this time period.

Blessings from the Hearth.
