Let’s get started. You’ll need: •1 part Dragon’s Blood Resin (Powdered) You can find this on Amazon or eBay for a couple of bucks. •10-15 part alcohol (to dissolve the resin) •1 part gum arabic This makes the ink stick to the quill easier. •An optional few drops of cinnamon oil or myrrh The easiest way to go about making the resin a powder is just to powder it all, not just the small amount you need. A mortar and pestle works great for this. Add the ground gum arabic to the powdered resin. Add the alcohol, one part at a time until all the powder has dissolved. This step requires trial and error to get the right consistency. After this step is done, add the myrrh or cinnamon oil if you would like. Then run the mixture through a strainer. Just in case there are still some stubborn bits of resin that won’t dissolve. Then, store it in a bottle or jar and keep it on your altar for easy access. themysticalheathen Thanks! themysticalheathen.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/diy-dragons-blood-ink-recipe/

Hobby lobby of all places sells Dragonblood incense and powder. Funny thing, they sell black candles too. they'd probably shut the doors if they knew my old coven [and online bros]outfitted our "work areas" from them!
Just curious, is this for use with the "prayer pen"? What does it bring? Egyptian branch<----

Yes. there is an Egyptian tradition that things written in special ink come to pass, of course the requests are broken into 5 groups [or 6 some say] and each group has its own special ink, the requests are written with a kind of copper pen. I'm only familiar with one though, made with myrrh, dragon blood, iron filings[rust]and I think lotus extract That's why I was hoping your recipe was it. exchanging ingredients can do bad stuff.
