Incense,
Resin and Essential oils
Many Witches use incense
as a representation of the element Air and the East quarter. They
choose the appropriate scent based on what they want to accomplish
within their circle. Others use it to add some oomph to their spellworkings.
Incense comes in sticks,
cones or resin. Some is self-burning; others require the use of
charcoal disks. You can make your own incense using herbs and oils.
Add some very finely ground saw dust to your mixture to make it
self-burning.
Essential Oils can be
added to incense to make them more powerful. They can also be used
in diffusers to enhance the atmosphere. For magick workings, oils
can be used to anoint yourself or your tools, dress candles, mix
with herbs, added to talismans, for ritual baths, etc.
Below are the common
uses for the popular incense and oils. If you are using an oil or
incense that is not listed below, but is plant-based (such as sage),
you can find the uses for it in the Herbs
section.
