This is Incense is proudly Australian owned and hand dipped in Victoria.
The word “incense” itself is from the Latin word “incendere” which means “to burn”. The word “incense” is also closely tied to the Latin word “incensus” which means “to cause a passion or emotion to become aroused”.
It is a slow burning combination of plant-based materials, including fragrant woods, and essential oils which emits fragrant smoke upon lighting.
Incense is first lit by flame and quickly put out once the flame “catches". In its wake, the flame leaves a smoldering ember which catalyzes a slow burn of the incense, allowing it to release a fragrant smoke whose scent is created by the combination of its burning components. Incense often evokes sentiment and states of mind which go far beyond the physical manifestation of its scent. Incense is frequently used in meditation as an agent to bring alertness to the mind and help cleanse distracting thoughts.
The fragrant smoke from incense can have the remarkable property of creating a spiritual atmosphere which can have diverse uses from priming a calming space by simply filling the everyday household with a sense of calm and transcendence. Incense sticks generally have holders which allow the sticks to be held in a hole in a supporting foundation with room for ash to fall safely.
