Pick up any Pagany book about incense (or virtually anything else) and you are bound to find a “chart of correspondences” to tell you which herb works for what type of magick. Want to make incense to help bring prosperity? Look up “prosperity” in the closest correspondence chart and use whatever the chart says! Personally, I am generally opposed to using a correspondence chart created by someone else. I understand pragmatism and the limited amount of time that people have…I get it. My personal experience with such charts has often shown me that I find different magickal energies in some ingredients. Sometimes I use things in the exact opposite way as I have seen it described by others. Don’t misunderstand me. This isn’t a huge criticism of such charts. If you’ve read “Incense: Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents” then you know that I included a fairly large correspondence list for incense makers. What I’m really saying is that nobody should take those charts as gospel nor believe that they can explore every type and variation of plant and tree the way that we can as individuals.
