Gryffon, Dragon & Wolf: Use of Loose Incense

Use of Loose Incense
No substances (like charcoal or saltpeter) have been added to our raw incense to aid in combustion of the incense. Also, there are no gums in the incense to bind it into a specific shape, such as a cone or a block, nor have we added a filler for bulk.

Burning Incense There are a number of ways which we have enjoyed using raw incenses. Each method will produce a slightly different scent, unlocking the energies of the different ingredients. First of all, you can burn it in an open flame or on a slow burning self-igniting charcoal. We recommend that you use charcoal specifically designed for burning incense. Regular charcoal, that you might use in a barbecue, can smell noxious. After the quick-lighting coals are ignited, and the saltpeter in them has burned out, you can get the purest burn of the incense. Incense can also be thrown into ritual fires for power and affect, but the incense will burn very quickly.
You can also simmer our raw incenses in potpourri burners. We use quite a lot of the ingredients in whole, raw form. It is common to find whole flowers, leaves, and bits of wood in the incense, just as you would in potpourri. This is a great way to use the incense if you like the way it smells raw. However, it may not release some of the scents which are produced when the incense is burned.
Last but not least, if you like the way an incense smells as is, you can tie it up in a piece of cloth, put it in a bowl or small basket for a sachet or air freshener. Incense used in this fashion will eventually pick up odors from the air around it, and loose some of its intensity, but you can always burn it when the scent is no longer vivid.
