In addition, according to one source I read, Egyptians would burn pellets of myrrh to eliminate pests in the home, such as fleas. Myrrh was a valuable, practical gift. I have posted them upstairs. At its core, myrrh is full of blues and greens, cooling colors. It is a woven image, with cross hairs like the threads of a fabric in two directions.
Myrrh looks like something that can bind and hold together other things.
Frankincense, on the other hand, is warm, full of reds and yellows and some greens and blues. It looks soft and featherlike in its structure. It looks like it could comfort you with its gentleness, like a down comforter. It is hard for us today to imagine the Frankincense trading route. Camel caravan to Egypt, Persia, Syria and Rome transported goods from India, China and Ethiopia.
