- Details
- Written by AndEl
Incense has long had associations with magick and witchcraft, as indeed it is used commonly by many other religions. The use of Incense in witchcraft is threefold:
- It conditions the mind by stimulating our sense of smell.
-
In connection with spells, it draws down the spirits through its magickal
association with the elements of Air. -
According to ancient beliefs, when a spell is done, it raises the spell up
into the ether and sends it on its way.
