"Galangal root isn't called for in Abramelin incense - you are confusing the Abramelin incense recipe with the Abramelin oil recipe. Abramelin oil calls for myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, galangal, & olive oil. Abramelin incense consists of olibanum, lignum aloes, & storax.

I, personally find it to enhance the incense with mixing the root.
I used a coffee grinder to grind up the Galangal, and then mixed it with the Abramelin Incense. when mixed properly, the smell is not foul at all.Then again, this is simply my opinion and perspective on the whole thread... I personally found the Incense to be more effective WITH the Galangal mixed with it.
best wishes in your endeavors.

"You might like Soma Luna's so-called Thelemic Abramelin incense that is based on the Abramelin oil recipe.

Just FYI: Soma Luna's Thelemic 'abramelin' incense is absolutely amazing. I keep a stock of the stuff on hand for ritual work. It is particularly well suited to temple openings and prior to invocations.
It also mixes fabulously well. Add a pinch of Dragon's Blood, and it really shines for banishing work also.
