Twilight Myrrh
A small jar of viscous resin, dark as molasses but shot through with glimmers of soft violet. Its scent is layered—woodsmoke, lavender, and the distant bite of citrus rind. This jar of resin is so rich and mysterious, you can almost catch a whiff of its smoky, citrus-laced essence in the air long after the jar is opened.
Effect: When burned as incense in a closed space, Twilight Myrrh causes truths to feel unbearable to hide. Those who breathe the smoke for more than a few moments feel their defenses soften. It does not compel speech, but creates an aching need to be honest. It is particularly effective in ritual confessions, grief healing, or reconciliation circles.
Source: Harvested from the Silverbell Sapling, a slow-growing tree found only in the rain-cloaked hollows of the Southern Rainswell Hills. The tree “weeps” the resin only at dusk, especially after lightning storms. Harvesters must wait in silence and cup the sap by hand into clay bowls, or it will turn bitter and inert.
Use in the Apothecary: Burned in healing spaces where spiritual wounds outweigh physical ones. Cathlynn may use it with those suffering from emotional suppression, shame, or ancestral guilt.
