Incense has become part of the Western art of living. Historically, incense has been used to honor the gods and gain the support of invisible powers. It's true that when plants burn, they emit a fragrance that has a chemical effect on the body. They also act invisibly on the etheric, astral and mental levels. The mind listens to incense... Finally, plants use a magical, energetic channel, linked to their environment. This book shows that there are incenses and powders for everything: love, friendship, money, commerce, gambling, exam success, artistic creativity, acquisition of authority, exorcism, home protection, sexuality, psychic powers... One hundred and fifty commercial incense compositions and powders are then studied according to a precise classification: spiritual, religious, specialized, planetary, elemental, zodiac sign, evocative of elemental spirits, talismanic, voodoo, saints' incense... Each incense is described in detail: composition, use, prayers, invocations and orations, expected efficacy... Finally, the 200 basic plant resins and powders are presented, with practical advice on how to use them. The technical aspects: preparation of incense, powders and perfumes; making sachets, dolls or crosses; rituals; making a perfume burner... are covered in detail.
It's impossible not to find the incense, powder or perfume that doesn't suit your purpose in this 600-page bible.
