Clearing, Purifying and Protection
Smoke, ever the silent companion to fire, symbolizes transformation, mystery, and the unseen. An ancient and elusive element, Smoke has been an intrinsic component of ritual practice across many cultures for centuries.
The smoke ceremony is an ancient spiritual and energetic cleansing technique that uses some fragrant herbs and flowers as incense—such as sage, lavender, rosemary, roses, and many more— in order to purify the energy of a space or the energy within you. This practice dates from ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece.
Japan: The fragrant woods agarwood and sandalwood are the main ingredients used in Japanese incense. Agarwood is produced in certain parts of southeast Asia such as Vietnam. Japanese incense companies divide agarwood into six categories depending on the region obtained and properties of the agarwood.
“Incenses” were a part of a set of Buddhist teachings such as the scriptures, statues, and prayers. They were introduced as a means of purifying sins of this world with fragrance by carving and burning the aromatic woods. “Incenses” have been used for prayer from ancient times to present day.
Quote: “For if the light in our soul goes out so does the sweet smoke of sacrifice in our hearts.” Ben Ewing
