Spikenard, also known as Nardostachys jatamansi, is a flowering plant native to the Himalayas, China, and India. It has a long history of multifaceted use in perfumery, magic, and traditional medicine.
In perfumery, spikenard is highly prized for its unique aroma, characterized by earthy, woody notes with hints of musk and spice. Often utilized as a base note, it adds depth and complexity to fragrances, blending seamlessly with other essential oils to create oriental, woody, and earthy scents. Its rich, deep fragrance exudes mystery and sophistication, making it a sought-after ingredient in the perfume industry.
Beyond perfumery, spikenard holds significance in magical and spiritual practices. Revered for its protective and purifying properties, it has been used in rituals for cleansing, consecration, and spiritual growth. Associated with love, healing, and spiritual enlightenment, it is utilized in rituals aimed at attracting love, enhancing psychic abilities, and deepening meditation.
Historically, spikenard is mentioned in ancient texts such as the Bible and the Ayurvedic scriptures. In the Bible, it is revered as a precious oil used for anointing, symbolizing devotion and spiritual reverence. In Ayurvedic medicine, spikenard has been utilized for its therapeutic benefits, including calming the mind, balancing emotions, and promoting overall well-being.
In modern times, spikenard continues to be valued for its aromatic and therapeutic properties. Used in aromatherapy, it helps reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia, offering grounding and calming effects.

They live under the roots of the destiny tree Yggdrasill, everyday they pour over them the water from the Well of Urðr and on these roots they carve the destiny of each human. We believe that this natural hand-made cedar, nards and ambergris incense will help to:
- Guide the events towards a favorable direction;
- Give you confidence in yourself and your powers;
- Inspire you for new challenges, ideas, originality and resourcefulness;
- Overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
