mission statement
to lovingly hand roll our incense fragrances with divine intent and supply them fresh to the market place...

Beyond the obviousness of our physical reality, there are subtle realms of existence, intertwined and interdependent with the physical world. This is the basis of any spiritual doctrine: the understanding that your actions effect the greater good or bad of all things. Therefore, we need to take account of our actions.

Taking account of our actions requires Awareness. The journey into Awareness is a life long process; a deepening of the Self. Our relationships with others teach us much about ourselves. Often through the most painful of experiences, we rise triumphant, wiser and more loving of our fragile surroundings.

Awareness means being in touch with your self and your Self. Hence the importance of time out, relaxation, healthy eating, exercise and general nurturing of the Body, Mind and Spirit. Only then can we be in tune with decisions that will benefit us, and those around us.

With the rise in materialism and the excessive availability of credit, we each have greater access to a way of life our ancestors would struggle to comprehend. The old fable of the tortoise and the hare is perhaps pregnant with more wisdom in this time than ever before. The tortoise knows, “slow and steady” wins the race. There are no short cuts in life. Only through discipline and attention to detail do we each learn of the long process for our lives to bear quality fruit.

Be kind to yourself and look after yourself by honouring the inner journey as well as the outer journey.

Twelve Tribes Incense respects the ancient ritual of using aroma to bring about an altered and deepened state of awareness. Our fragrances are smooth and soft, contributing to a relaxed environment where you may explore the timeless beauty of the spirit within and thus, contribute to making this planet are more harmonious place for all to dwell.

A little bit about Leith Masters: Founder and owner of the Twelve Tribes Incense range...

"Since 1994, my life has been devoted to the development of the Twelve Tribes Incense range. Previous to that my history included University, working in the film industry, publishing and lots of travel.

From a very early age, I always burned incense and would ask my mother to take me to the weekend markets so that I could replenish my supplies. I found it incredibly soothing and comforting, to have the subtle wafts of fragrance around me.

Developing, growing and managing a business is an exciting challenge and a great teacher for me in terms of practicing the spiritual faith that it actually preaches. It has filled my life with many extraordinary experiences, people and places. And of course it is true to say “if I only knew then what I know now”
