Since ancient times, Incense has been enjoyed throughout the world in it’s raw and natural form. The fragrant smoke was used as a way to “carry prayers” to the most high and invoke manifestation. Incense resins and botanicals are still used today in various indigenous and Metaphysical ceremonies to promote ritual consciousness, the state of mind necessary to rouse and direct personal energy. The fragrant smoke purifies a room and surrounding area of negative and disturbing vibrations. They are used for meditation or for simply scenting a room. Many Resins and Herbs are available in their raw form and can be burned by placing them on top of burning charcoal tablets. They fill the room with a beautiful and sacred aura. Natural Incense is also available in Smudge Bundles, Braids, Ropes, Sticks and Cubes.
