Most everyone should be able to find at least ten of these, if not all sixteen. I've put together attributions for sixteen scents which are fairly common and I've seen most of these in stick form at the grocery store. If not, for instance if you’re buying your incense at the grocery store, you’ll have a much more limited selection. Even discounting the weird blends they sell, there are still hundreds of different types of incense that can be bought, some of which are only slight variations of each other, if you’re lucky enough to have a good store nearby. There are literally thousands of types of incense out there. Incense can also help us connect into the ideas and energies it is associated with. Since incense is burned, a fire elemental can be summoned into it and held for spellwork. When contacting a deity, incense which is associated with the deity is often burned both as an offering and show of respect for the deity and also to help the practitioner make a connection with the deity. Preferable incense can be burned to attract certain types of entities to an area, where as deplorable incense can be burned to repel certain types of entities from an area. In cleansings and exorcisms incense is burned to purify or sanctify an area. Incense is often used as an aid to achieve astral projection and lucid dreaming. In meditation incense is burned to help the practitioner achieve states of clarity, focus, and/or calm. In spellwork and ritual incense is often burned to help raise energy, adjust the energy of the area, and/or aid the practitioner in achieving trance. Incense utilizes our sense of smell to help align both the practitioner and the area in which it is burned with a desired mood and energy. It’s not that its a very powerful or versatile tool, but it is a fairly useful one. Many practitioners use incense for nearly every magical act, from simple meditations to elaborate rituals. Incense is one of the more common magical tools.
