ORIGIN: Kyphi, called Kapet or Kap’t in the original Khemetic language, was traditionally burned as part of the evening offering in the temples. Kyphi is a sacred blend of honey, fruit infused wine, dried fruit, precious resins, roots, and herbs/botanicals are combined into a rich syrup which is allowed to dry, then formed into pellets . The pellets are coated with a powdered mix of herbs and cured. Once they have hardened, they are ready for use! The entire process takes up to 3 months.
Kyphi was used both medicinally and as a sacred offering in the temples. It was used to freshen and fumigate living quarters and clothes, and it was also believed to help open the gates of imagination to make those exposed to it more open to visions and dreams — two powerful pathways to spirit communication in the ancient world.
When to use: Use this kyphi at times of planned transition; when you need to let go of toxic or stagnant habits, situations, and/or people in your life; as a memorial for those who have passed; and during any magick or ritual where the energy of renewal is welcome.
Fun fact-
The ancient Egyptian incenses was called Kyphi, or “Welcome to the Gods.” High priests concocted Kyphi during secret, chant-filled temple ceremonies. The incense was said to consist of “things that delight in the night.” Green historian Plutarch (A.D. 46-120) wrote that smelling Kyphi was like “listening to beautiful music.” He also described it as having the power to “rock a person to sleep, brighten dreams, and chase away the troubles of the day.”
