Harold says. "I have spent 10 years finding a source for real mastic granules. This is NOT what you use in plumbing. You can get a little bag of white power that says 'mastic' or you can get the real thing from me." Mastic is also an excellent fixative for other resins or for use as "glue" for fine jewelry. Mastic melts as it burns.
Mastic is used for high rituals and makes a very high vibration. It's used in the legendary blend (recipe is not given here) to cause people to serve you. Don't carry mastic in your pocket: it melts. Mastic soaked in Clear Lite™ makes a delightful oil that is sticky. Mastic soaked in alcohol makes a delightful perfume, but it is sticky. It is one of the few air elemental incense that really works because air elementals are hard to keep any place very long (they're flighty).
