Calming . Soothing . Traditional

Incense has been an integral part of Indian heritage. Researchers have endeavored to discover the mystical effects of fragrances on the human mind and behavior. The findings have revealed that perfumes simulate memories, calm nerves and even heal our bodies. The oldest source on incense is the Vedas, specifically, the Atharva-Veda and the Rigveda. Incense-burning was used both to create pleasing aroma as well as a medicinal tool.

• Incense is one of the more common magical tools.

• Many practitioners use incense for nearly every magical act, from simple meditations to elaborate rituals.

• It’s not that its a very powerful or versatile tool, but it is a fairly useful one.

• Incense utilizes our sense of smell to help align both the practitioner and the area in which it is burned with a desired mood and energy.

• A philosophical moral of the burning incense stick is that, just as it burns away to ashes while simultaneously pervading the air with fragrance, an aspirant should sacrifice his life to serve others and mould it such that its fragrance inspires others.
