There are so many lovely choices, each with their own unique fragrance and power.

Raw Incense, resins, herbs and blends and their significance:
Frankincense (Olibanum)
Frankincense has been used throughout history to enhance spiritual perception and consciousness. It soothes the spirit by slowing and deepening breathing, making it useful in meditation and prayer. It has traditionally been burned in places of worship to repel negative energy. Frankincense has a heavy, balsamic scent. Fire element. Sun association.If you’re ever wondered how to use charcoal to burn loose/raw incense, here’s a great primer by a co-worker of mine. Personally, I prefer this method as opposed to stick incense, because it’s efficient, you control how much smoke you a creating, and it’s easy to make your own custom blends!
