Incense has been used since distant times to propitiate the help of the Divinities, when special rituals merged with the subtle energy of their vibrations, thus helping to solve various problems of everyday life. They were given esoteric powers in Egypt and were lit at dawn, midday and sunset before an important ceremony or rite. Dosage was only revealed to those in the know. Ceremonies with propitiatory incense also took place in Greece and in the Roman Empire and it was commonly accepted that the Gods were not averse to this on a certain day and at a certain time as they helped solve varying problems. Even today in India, incense sticks burn in houses and in the streets to honor the Divinities as if time has stood still. Also in Italy, the Etruscans and Romans commonly started their cults by burning incense. Initially the Church resisted this but it was later incorporated into the Masses and Liturgy.
So-called planetary incense is used in esoteric situations to give support in various aspects of the person's life; here we recall a few: (*)
(*) There are several possible methods of using incense and sometimes even biblical psalms are chanted to reinforce the positive vibrations of the odors. All these methodologies however are purely a potential of man who, thanks to his thoughts, can transform the action of his thoughts into daily life. Thus everything can be valid; all is created at the time of man's thought so each of us can reach a goal, harmonize with events and, above all, find a solution to every problem for Man is part of the Cosmos and is represented by everything around him.
