I’ve made fresh incense quite a few times! I had to alter how I mix it a bit & work with the resins or wood pieces. The resin in fresh incense helps it to burn slower & longer. As far as grounding it up, it’s one of those things that shouldn’t be put into a mortar & pestle because it will stick to the inside. Wood pieces are much harder to do by hand as well. Since my hands aren’t very cooperative anymore, I will use the mortar & pestle for flowers, herbs, & things. Use 1 part resin & I use an electronic coffee grinder. Only hit it once & done! The wood pieces, once they are small enough, a couple of zips in the coffee grinder & done! Same with some berries. Then mix them all together in a jar or layer them on a lit charcoal disc _(or I suppose you can light the disc afterward too)_… it depends on how much you are making. I’ll have to find the recipe for making the cones. While I do have the pieces to make the cones, I’ve only made them by hand. & they were amazing! The incense recipes I have, I’ve always used parts. So 2 parts resin, 1 part juniper berries, 1 part roses… _(I’m just using things off the top of my head, this isn’t an actual recipe I’ve made)_ I have specific incense recipes for my deities. Then others for specific things… I just don’t have them near me at the moment. → [Fresh Incense & Rope Incense](https://forum.spells8.com/t/fresh-incense-rope-incense/15692) → [Candle dressing/incense homemade](https://forum.spells8.com/t/candle-dressing-incense-homemade/20518) → [Making your own Incense](https://forum.spells8.com/t/making-your-own-incense/2996) Those are few topics that I found on making incense.
