Working with Gremory: hidden things, clear sight, and incense for the working

Gremory, and three offices that belong together

Gremory is a Duke in the Goetia, and the Grimoire Companion entry gives him three offices: he discovers hidden treasures, tells past, present, and future, and procures love. Those three offices are often read separately, as if they were three different spirits sharing one name. Read together, they describe a single kind of work: bringing what is hidden into the open. A hidden treasure is a thing concealed. A true account of past, present, and future is a time concealed. Love, in this traditional sense, is a heart concealed from another, or from itself. In each case the work is revelation, not invention.

That reading matters, because it keeps Gremory work honest. Discovering a hidden treasure does not mean inventing a treasure where there is none, or convincing yourself that a worthless thing is precious because you want it to be. Telling past, present, and future does not mean telling people what they want to hear about their lives. Procuring love does not mean manufacturing affection where there is none, or overriding another person's will with a stronger technique. In the tradition's own terms, the work is about what is already there, hidden, and about bringing it to light so that it can be seen plainly, and then acted on wisely.

That is why incense fits this work. Incense is burned at the beginning of a working, to fumigate the space and the tools, and to mark the time that follows as set apart. Smoke rises, spreads, and reveals the air it moves through. It does not argue, and it does not persuade. It prepares a space in which clear sight is possible, and then it is gone, leaving the working itself to be done. For work about hidden things, that preparation is fitting: you do not begin by demanding an answer. You begin by clearing the space in which an answer can be seen.

What this incense is, and how it is made

We offer a small variety of very rare and very useful incense. We hand make each batch of incense when you order it, unless we have just recently made some, of course. That is the offering's own description, and the phrase 'when you order it' is the important part. This incense is not warehoused in bulk and pulled from a shelf months later. It is made in small batches, for an order, in the freshness that small-batch making allows. That freshness matters for incense in a direct, physical way, because incense is burned, and its scent, smoke, and character are the whole of its use. Stale incense is not merely less pleasant. It is a weaker tool.

The incenses offered 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 is a plain claim, and it should be read plainly: the maker uses her own product, for the same kinds of work she offers it for. That does not guarantee a result for you, and this article promises none. What it does mean is that the incense is not made to a lower standard for sale than for personal use. The batch made for you is made to the standard the maker works with herself, and that is a standard you can judge by use, over time, rather than by description.

Incense for Gremory work is for spirit work and spellwork with Gremory. That specificity matters. Incense is sometimes treated as general atmosphere, burned because it smells pleasant, or because a working feels incomplete without smoke. Pleasant scent has its place, but it is not the same as incense made for a particular spirit's work. If you are not working with Gremory, this is not the incense for your working, whatever it smells like. Use the incense that fits the spirit you are actually working with, and keep general scent for general atmosphere, where it belongs.

Fumigating, working, and keeping a record

To work with incense, burn it deliberately, at the beginning of the working, and fumigate the space and the tools you will use. Pass a seal through the smoke, where your practice calls for fumigating a seal, and let the smoke mark the working as begun. Do not rush this step. A working begun in a hurry, with incense lit as an afterthought while you are still thinking about ordinary things, is a working begun badly. Give the fumigation its own time, settle yourself, and state the matter in one sentence before you proceed: what is hidden, what needs to be seen clearly, or what love, in the traditional sense, is genuinely at stake.

After the working, close properly, in whatever way your practice requires, and put the tools away in their proper place. Then keep a record: date, the matter in one sentence, the incense used, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. If a hidden thing came to light, write down what it was, and where it was found, and whether you had already overlooked it. If a matter of time became clearer, write down what you saw, in plain language, before you interpret it. If a matter of love changed, write down what actually changed, in behaviour and in fact, not only in feeling.

If nothing changes, that is also information. It may mean the question was unclear, the timing was wrong, the work was not appropriate, or simply that the situation needs a different approach. Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, 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 it is especially noisy when the matter is love or hidden treasure, because both invite wishful reading more than most workings do.

Gremory Goetia incense

Incense for hidden things begins by clearing the space in which an answer can be seen, not by demanding one.

I hand make each batch of this incense when you order it, unless I have just recently made some, and it is of a quality I use myself for magical work, for spirit work and spellwork with Gremory, who discovers hidden treasures, tells past, present, and future, and procures love. I make no promise about what it will do for you, only that it is made in small batches, for this work.

If you want the incense for that work, this is the one I offer: Gremory Goetia incense, $44 CAD. View the product

I also make Gremory oil for the same work, $44 CAD, for use alongside the incense in a full working. View the product
