It was used by the ancient civilizations as an incense and in Egypt for cosmetics and in the embalming process. The raw resin is a very thick and sticky liquid that makes a good binder; it has a very heavy, earthy, complex scent.
It is often used in perfume and in work involving learning, developing psychic abilities, and contacting angels and the dead. In Liber Juratus, this resin is associated with Libra.
