Immerse yourself in the Sacred Luxuries of Ancient Egypt!

Often called the “Eye of Horus” by the ancient Egyptians, Kepu (offering to masculine gods) or Kapet (offering to feminine gods), was called Kyphi by the Greeks. It was the most revered of the three ancient Egyptian temple incenses besides Frankincense and Myrrh. With the fall of Egypt, the sacred recipe was lost for nearly 2,000 years. Wandering Stars has brought Kepu /Kapet back to life again.

The ancients called their country Kemet, which means “the black land” because of the color of the organic alluvial deposits from the Nile after it flooded it’s banks every year. This was the key to the Egyptian empire’s health and wealth with it’s abundant food production from the nutrient rich black earth. Thus, and also due to it’s dark black color - Kem, we call our Temple incense reproduction Kem Kepu.

Kepu /Kapet was formulated primarily for Temple use, when the doors to the sanctuary of the gods were opened in the morning or closed for the night. It has a distinctly different fragrance depending. Feast your olfactory on this warm and truly heavenly ancient fragrance, which hasn’t wafted into nostrils, mortal or divine, for two millennia!

Our incense is sold in tins of two sizes: 2 ounce and 6 pellet sample, shown in the photo.

We recommend warming and softening the pellet in your hand first, then pulling into smaller pieces 1/4s or 1/8s before placing on hot charcoal. Like most natural resin incense, Kepu is burned on charcoal sitting on ash in a fireproof censer. Be sure to add some Three Kings Charcoal to your order!
