Buer Goetia incense
Buer, and what working with him is for
Buer is the tenth spirit listed in the Ars Goetia, a Great President, over 50 legions, appearing when the Sun is in Sagittarius. The old books say he appeareth in the form of Sagittary, and that is his shape when the Sun is in Sagittarius. He teaches natural and moral philosophy, and logic, and also the virtues of all herbs and plants. He healeth all distempers in man, and giveth good familiars. That healing claim is reported here as a text claim, not as a modern promise, and nothing in this article promises a medical result.
She recommends working with Buer to all healers, as he can be of good help. She also says Buer provides familiars to help with acute care, and that when Buer does help you, you should not forget to return the favour, by volunteering at a local hospital, doing some healing yourself, or perhaps by a donation. That framing matters: Buer work, as she presents it, is not a one-way request, but a working that carries a return with it.
Incense, and why it suits a healer's working
This article is about Buer incense, for spirit work and spellwork with Buer. Incense is not background scent for this work. It is part of the working itself. It marks the time as set apart, it fills the space you are working in, and it stays with you through the working. For a healer, that quality has a particular use: a healing working is often a working done for someone else, in a room that is also an ordinary room, and the incense is what marks the time when the room stops being ordinary and becomes a working space.
Incense is also the form that fumigates. A healer working with Buer may fumigate a seal, a tool, or the room itself before beginning, as a deliberate preparation rather than as decoration. Do that fumigation deliberately, passing the item through the smoke with the purpose in mind, rather than waving it through quickly and putting it away.
Healing work, and ordinary care, together
Nothing in this article promises a medical result, and nothing here should be read as medical advice or as a substitute for medical care. Healing work in this context means ritual and spiritual work, done by a practitioner, alongside ordinary medical care where that care is needed, not instead of it. If you, or someone you are working for, needs medical attention, get that attention first, in the ordinary world. That is not a disclaimer added for form. It is the boundary that makes the ritual work honest.
For a healer, the Buer working has a second boundary, too: the return favour Athena mentions. That return is part of the working as she presents it, not an optional extra added afterwards. Before you light anything, ask yourself whether you are prepared for that return, and what form it would take in your own life. If the answer is no, that is worth knowing before the working, not after it.
Starting with the work, not with the tool
Spirit work is not shopping, and incense does not do the work for you. Before you light anything, be clear about why you are doing this working, what you are asking for, and what you are prepared to do yourself, including the return favour. If you cannot state the matter in one clear sentence, write it down, leave it overnight, and come back to see if it still reads true. That pause is part of the work, not a delay in it.
Ask yourself, plainly, whether Buer is the right focus for your working, or whether you are reaching for a familiar name. If you are a healer, or if you are doing healing work for others, that framing may be the reason Buer comes up for you at all. If you are not a healer, and you have no connection to healing work, ask whether the work you actually need is a different kind of work, and whether a different spirit, or a simpler protective practice, would fit it better. A general article like this one is not a substitute for proper teaching in the system you work in.
Preparing the room, and yourself
Preparation is most of the work, and with incense that is literally true, because the room is the thing the incense acts on. Clear the space you will use, physically, and set it aside for this purpose. Put away the things that pull your attention elsewhere. If you have a regular working space, use it. If you do not, choose one place and use it consistently for this working, so the place itself starts to carry the association.
Ventilation matters, in a practical sense that is easy to overlook when you are focused on the ritual side. A room that is completely sealed will fill with smoke quickly, and a room that is wide open will lose the scent before the working is done. Find a balance that works for your space: enough air to breathe comfortably, enough containment that the scent remains present through the working. Then prepare yourself: bathe, or at least wash your hands and face, change into clothes you do not wear for ordinary errands, and know what you are going to say, in your own words, before you begin. A clear head is a working tool, just as much as incense is.
Why this incense, made in this way
The Buer incense offered here is hand made in the same way as the other incenses on this site. Each batch is hand made when you order it, unless a batch has just recently been made. The incenses made here are of a quality that Athena uses herself for magical work. They work well enough that she uses them successfully for spirit work, work for clients, as well as her own spellwork.
That made-to-order point matters here, too. It means the incense has not been sitting, opened and closed, through other people's orders. It is made for your order, and then blessed by Athena herself before it is sent out. No promise about what it will do for you is made here, only that it is made by hand, for this work, and not mass produced. For a working done for someone else, that care in the making is part of the preparation, not a luxury added to it.
A simple working order, to adapt to your own practice
The following is a general order, not a fixed script. Adapt it to the system you already work in. First, prepare the room and yourself, as above, and be clear about the healing work, and the return favour, in one sentence each. Second, set out the incense, the burner, and any seal or tool you will use, and fumigate the tool or seal if your practice calls for it. Third, light the incense and let the space settle, rather than rushing from lighting to speaking. Fourth, speak your petition, clearly and once, rather than repeating it until it loses its shape. Fifth, sit quietly for a time and listen, rather than filling every moment with more words. Sixth, close the working properly, in whatever way your practice requires, and put the tools away in their proper place.
Afterwards, write down what you did, when you did it, and what you noticed. Not what you hoped would happen, but what actually happened, in plain language. Note the incense itself in that record, and note, separately, any ordinary-world care that was given or received, so that the two are not confused with each other afterwards. That record is what lets you tell, weeks later, whether anything changed, and whether that change had anything to do with the work.
What not to do
Do not burn incense in a room where it is unsafe to do so, and do not leave a burner unattended. Use a safe burner, on a heat-proof surface, away from curtains, papers, and anything that could catch, and stay with it for the whole working. If you have sensitivities to smoke or to particular incense ingredients, test carefully, ventilate well, or choose a different form of working. If the incense makes you cough, or gives you a headache, that is information, not a test of dedication.
Do not use incense as a substitute for the rest of the working, and do not use a Buer working as a substitute for ordinary medical care. Lighting incense and then doing nothing else, with no petition, no attention, and no closing, is not spirit work. It is just a room that smells different. The incense supports the work, it does not replace it, and neither the incense nor the working replaces a doctor, a hospital, or the care a person actually needs.
Keeping a record, and knowing when to stop
Keep a short record for each working: date, purpose in one sentence, incense used, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. If nothing changes, that is also information. It may mean the petition was unclear, the timing was wrong, the work was not appropriate, or simply that the situation needs a different approach, in the ordinary world as well as in ritual.
Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, once, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise. And remember the return favour in Athena's Buer wording, as part of the working as she presents it, not as an afterthought.
Buer incense
Incense is not background scent for this work. It is part of the working itself.
I hand make Buer incense myself, in small batches, when you order, and I bless it myself before it is sent out. It is incense I use myself for spirit work and spellwork with Buer, not a bulk incense relabelled for the purpose. I make no promise about what it will do for you, and no medical result is promised, only that it is made by hand, for this work. That wording is about the magical result itself, not about delivery dates for physical items.
If you want the incense for that work, this is the one I offer: Buer Goetia incense, $44 CAD. View the product
