Incense: The Most Common Way to Conjure

Spells can be difficult to put together, especially when you need to collect all the components, but there is an obvious way you can cast a small conjuring spell at any time, and that's by burning incense.

There are countless forms of incense out there, and you can almost perform the spell as a kind of mediation. All you need is an incense holder, preferably with an ash catcher, and whatever kind of incense you want to burn.

Simply place your incense in the holder, light it, and sit with it for a few minutes. The longer you sit and essentially meditate with the burning incense, the more powerful the spell, and therefore your intention, will be. Just sit with it, smell the aromas, and mindfully try to connect with that magick power source within you and within the universe.

As you sit, breathing deeply, stay as present as possible, and try to nudge your mind in the direction of your intentions. Take a moment to think about what you want and some of the ways you could go about getting it. Don't try to be solid with your reason, but rather let your instinct flow and see what comes to mind. Be fluid, like water. See what comes up and released your conditioned ways of thinking.

For example, you might try to think of some ways to be happier and more motivated at work, but as you think about it, you start to realize you are actually not in a job you want to be in, and instead you want to pursue a more fulfilling career. This kind of realization is the magick at work, so allow it to be, rather than dismissing it as hopeful thinking.

With that, here are some types of incense you may want to look into for conjuring and helping to increase and improve your focus and attention:

• Palo Santo is great if you are looking to heal something in your life. It is said to increase your energy vibrations and calm your body.

• Frankincense is ideal if you are looking to relieve stress and gain more awareness. If you are struggling and feel lost, this is the incense to help bring clarity.

• If you are seeking success and prosperity, you can burn star anise or cinnamon incense to help bring you into a state of mind where you are making the best decisions in this area.

• Lavender is the incense of balance. If you need calm, clarity, and peace for setting intentions, discovering them, or reconnecting with yourself, or your spiritual guides, this is an excellent incense for clearing the mind and remaining grounded during turbulent times.

• Use Copal if you are looking for a deeper connection to yourself, the magick source, or the universe. This is the incense used for transcending or deepening the spiritual connections you already have.

• If you are looking for a tremendous all rounded incense that attracts a bit of everything, you will need some Cinquefoil. While not powerful, this is a fantastic pick-me-up incense or to help you stay motivated if you are already in a positive place.

The intensity and impact of incense spells can vary dramatically. Sometimes it can feel subtle, while other times, the effect can feel life changing. It really depends on the experience, the incense, and where you are in your headspace.
