Witches on a Budget
I’m gonna start posting Witch tips for people who don’t have a whole lot of money if anyone has suggestions, let me know.
So tip #1: making your own incense
I don’t always have enough money to buy incense, the only shop in town that sells it is a smoke shop that you can’t enter unless 19+ and they sell it for ten bucks for like 3 sticks. Plus, the incense is loaded with perfumes and chemicals which just aren’t my thing. So I’ve started making my own. It’s sooooo easy and most online tutorials are super expensive and complex.
*Crushing your herbs is optional
In a bowl, mix together the following ingredients
•dry (crushed) herbs of your choice (you can Google what kind of herbs to burn) I chose lavender, chamomile, and rosemary.
•honey (keep mixing in more honey until herbs create a thick paste)After mixing, form into balls or cones and create a flat base.
Leave balls/cones to dry out for a few days.
Then once dry, place in incense burner and burn.
(Bonus, these last longer than the sticks and once it’s fully burned you can make incense with the ashes)

Incense uses
*not mine
Mini insence holder for the broke witch:
Take a used tealight candle and fill it with salt, sprinkle in some herbs for intent if you are puting on an altar or using in a spell. You cant use a whole stick, but you can break off the end and save the rest for later. Perfect for altars and almost no cost )○(
Breaking it into smaller pieces also helps your incense last longer! Yay for saving money!
