From the lens Incense - Sacred Smoke.

Do you have a favorite incense, burner, or unique place online to order from?

    I loved getting a look at your incense burners! I never thought of using shale - that's something we have plenty of here in the Klamath River Valley!

    I enjoyed your lens very much, especially the historical part! Like incense but burn it only occasionally.

    I love incense. Unfortunately my husband tend to get headaches from them. I can't burn candles when he's home either. I used to have them set up all over the house. My favorite time was relaxing in the bath with my incense going. It took me farther away than Calgon, LOL.

    This is another wonderful lens of yours. 5 stars and a Digg!

    Great lens! Love your burners. I don't so much burn incense anymore, but I faithfully use my Native American smudge to clear our energy before we move out and to clear others' energies before we move into a new house.

    I always wondered what the charcoal was for, thanks for clarifying.

    Yup! It is fairly simple. Just make sure that you get charcoal for incense (not for the BBQ), put it in an appropriate burner, light it, and when it glows or starts to turn gray and ashy, add a little bit of your incense. Most incenses like this come with a little spoon to scoop the incense out of the jar and onto the hot coal. Each piece of the charcoal will burn for at least an hour, and some of them are "quick light" ones. I love doing it this way, it just feels very ritualistic and special to me.

    Hi, I usually burn sticks. I do have a question though: how does that charcoal thing work? You get a charcoal incense holder, some charcoal and pieces of incense? Is it that simple?
