The Censer
Whether you use raw incense, blocks or incense papers, you'll need an incense burner. The censer can be anything from a gilt, chainequipped, church-type affair to a bowl of sand or salt. it truly doesn't matter. i know occultists who've used the bowl-and-salt method for years, long after they could have afforded to purchase other censers.
Although I have several, perhaps my favorite censer is actually a mortar from Mexico. It is carved from lava, stands on three legs and is perfect for use as a censer.
your own taste should determine which censer is right fo ryou. If nothing else is available, use a bowl half-filled with sand or salt and get on with it. the sand protects the bowl and the surface on which it sits against heat. it also provides a handy place on which to prop up stick incense.
