Mater Suspiriorum (the Mother of Sighs) Incense

Mater Suspiriorum ✦ Mother of Sighs Incense ✦ Handcrafted Ritual Blend

From the SORORES Collection — Three Mothers Inspired by Dario Argento

Breathe in ancient sorrow made beautiful.

Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs, is the eldest and most powerful of the Three Mothers. This handcrafted incense honors her essence with a deep, resinous blend that unfolds like breathing in velvet curtains soaked in ancient perfume.

Scent Profile
Dragon's blood and red sandalwood form a wine-dark, resinous foundation. Dark red roses and myrrh lend a funeral-parlor elegance, while clove and cinnamon add a warmth that feels both comforting and ominous. A whisper of benzoin brings that final touch of melancholic sweetness. Heavy, enveloping, and nostalgic,  beautiful but tinged with decay.

Handcrafted Ingredients

Dragon's blood resin, red sandalwood, dried red rose petals, myrrh, patchouli, clove, and other botanicals. Nothing synthetic;  only botanicals and true resins.

Potential Uses
✦ Deep meditation and contemplative ritual
✦ Ancestor veneration and honoring the beloved dead
✦ Shadow work and processing old grief
✦ Setting a gothic, atmospheric mood for reading, writing, or film
✦ Autumn and Samhain-season rituals
✦ Cleansing and consecrating sacred space with a heavier, protective smoke

How to Use
Sprinkle a small amount onto a lit charcoal disc in a heat-safe vessel filled with sand or ash. A little goes a long way. 

Never leave burning incense unattended, and always burn in a well-ventilated space.

Each order is lovingly blended in small batches. Slight variations in color and texture are the signature of a truly handcrafted product.
