The 3 Magi Wisemen
Our beautiful, highly aromatic ceremonial Frankincense Incense Blends are inspired by the lore of the 3 Magi Wisemen.
The ancient Magi were a Zoroastrian hereditary scholar and priest caste, that originated in the Persian Empire, and spread to the greater Middle Eastern and Asian region.
They were proficient in many sciences, including Astronomy.
The word "Magic" originates from the term for the Magi caste.
The Biblical Magi, popularly referred to as the 3 Kings, or the 3 Wise Men, trekked through many countries, following the astronomical route of a star, to visit the infant Jesus, bearing gifts of adulation: the precious raw materials Frankincense and Myrrh tree resins, as well as Gold.
