Incense is not just a perfume or purifier environments but has the gift to induce the human mind in a "high", which allows you to get in touch with the universal energy, and he accepts the offer value to the rites of the faces.
Today is the incense sticks, cones, grain, in packs that make it practical and immediate use, but for me, (for those who followed me in these few posts that will not be a news) in magic, as much personal energy it takes, the greater the result.
What does this mean? Meanwhile, drop by the magic stick ritual and cones, which in most cases, they have nothing to do with the raw materials we need, but they are just soaked in their essence: it would be like inviting someone home and instead of wine offer the water with dye and fragrance of wine, and in magic, especially if done with awareness, is all well and good.
You can then choose an incense in grains as natural as possible and no chemical colors, choose mixtures of herbs and powders ready, or prepare your own raw materials to be used. Prepare
with care and attention to the details of each ritual, is the joy of every practitioner who truly loves magic, and that joy is the beginning of your magic, which goes from your hands to the subject and gives it a unique power.

herbs (you can buy them in stores) make use of a good guide illustrated and well described, so as not to be confused and look for a place where no pesticides were used and away from traffic. In short commodity possibly do with incense as well.
Choose the phases of waxing and full to pick up the aerial parts of plants, the waning moon and black for the underground parts, preferably after dark.
Dried plants without exposing them directly to sun, taking care to turn them every day to prevent them from mildew. Again on the various manuals that teach the herbs you can learn to recognize the various methods of drying.
keep the materials separate and mix as needed when using them.
In the next post will show you some compounds that can be used in the rites of the most common, but remember to be curious and to not settle for what I tell myself. Look for books appropriate to the various arguments and experiments yourself new things, because the magic has no boundaries.
