Thoughts on incense?
« on: July 08, 2023, 06:52:46 AM »
Just wondering peoples thoughts on using incense sticks or cones?

I know they are used virtually everywhere in eastern religions and in a lot of celtic pagan religions but in the bible it also mentions burning of incense in the temple as well.

No, I don't burn it as an offering to anyone or anything, there are some that smell good and last a bit longer than air fresheners, but I am wondering if there's anything that might be attracted by it that shouldn't. On the other hand I also don't want to be one of those "that's not what I use it for so it's fine" kind of people either.

Any tips or pointers?

You might attract some hippie stoners, but other than that, I don't think it attracts anything else.

I don't burn the ones that smell like communes so I think I'm safe there too  :D
