Incense and Fragrances

In my experince, people either love incense or have an aversion to it.
Incense also comes in different sizes, shapes, and forms. Some types of incense are already labled with names reflecting the effects they hope to achiebe; there is stress-relieving incense, energy incense, love and so on.

Some people prefer to burn potpourri ot oils. One of the purposes of incense in these particular rituals is to brin you into an altered state of conciousness in the most peaceful way possible.  If the smell of sage or sandalwod calms you , use it. but if your sinuses say no give them respect.

DOn't get caught up in what others have decided is the best aroma fo ryou. For example, studies have shown citrus fragrances promote energy, and the smell of lilac can calm us. But dont' force yourself to inhale a scent you dont' care for simply because the label states "incense for romance."Always buy what you enjoy.

Experimenting with new aromas is also fun. Most incense is inexpensive and sometimes sold by the stick. One thing to be careful of: if you are going to do a spell inside or in a small area, try your new purchase out prior to it's use. Otherwise, you may be subject to a disagreeable smell for hours, if not days. Incense can take a while to dissipate and may linger in the air for a long period of time. Here are some recommended scents and herbs you may want to try that correspond to certain magickal work. Remember; these are only suggestions and nt a must
