What’s your favorite type of incense and how do you use it ? I got some Nag Champa recently and I really like it. However, I am trying to work with King Paimon and he is supposed to like frankencense and myrrh. Is do not know where to get that. I googled it and haven’t had too much success. Do you guys have any trusted sites to buy incense ? I’ve taken to burning it outside of ritual just because I like the smell.
Picture is of my incense holder. It even has a secret compartment to store incense in, as you can see. I would love to see how some you guys burn incense!
I usually order my incense sticks from Nippon Kodo, they have a lot of “basic”/often required scents going on and I really like the scent to smoke ratio (less smoke, more scent because my SO is very sensitive to heavy smoke build ups). For smudge sticks and frankincense cones I have a local shop going on
Stick incense- I would probably go with Amazon. There are quite a few good brands such as Morning Star and Windrose.
As far as my own preference, I burn loose or cone incense, usually my own recipes as offerings. You would need a fire proof bowl, sand or soil, and charcoal disks for the loose form. Cone, a fireproof container and sand will do. Been thinking of making an incense trail in the shape of a sigil as well, but no idea how successful that would be.
As far as favorites go, I enjoy a nice sandalwood with hints of frankincense, cinnamon, and chamomile.
I also used incense as a way to add power for rituals or to give form to spirits to manifest in (evocation)
I get my incense sticks from Amazon. I only buy the most expensive incense, handmade in India , as cheap incense is loaded with toxic chemicals I don’t want to breathe.
