juniper tincture for scent control?

During a Ceremony in a Hogan, there is an earthen altar upon which are spread live coals from the fire. The Road Man or Medicine Man keeps the juniper tips in a buckskin bag and reaches in to get a handful he then sprinkles on to those coals. The tips are easier to handle and then he only needs to brush a few off his hand with his fan if any stick to his hand. Also, you're burning pure juniper and not any attached branch material.

If you use juniper as an incense, this works on a smaller scale with a charcoal pellet as well.

Very interesting, Thank you.

I have a write up I posted on hunting in 2013 titled something "Stagadon" about a huge buck I missed with stone points. 

I used the boiled water method to turn juniper into a cover scent.  Don't make it in the house.  I also snapped some twiggs off by the car and rubbed down with them poking them in my pocket. 

Unfortunately I rubbed the stuff in my beard also.  Took about 15 min for my eyes to stop watering from the fumes.
