Incense is more than just a pleasant aroma wafting through the air. They have been used for centuries for their valuable properties. Hidden in the herbs, flowers, leaves, bark, twigs and resin of trees is the power of aromatic essential oils, which can influence our mood and emotions and create an extraordinary atmosphere around us. Already thousands of years ago, incense was an important part of religious rituals. They were believed to protect against evil spirits, summon good energy and could even connect people to the inaccessible world of astral beings. Their power was already being used in ancient Egypt and Asia. The power of natural, herbal incense was also appreciated by the Indians of the Americas. The smoke from the incense aids meditation, allows deep reflection and a look into oneself. When we reach for incense, we tap into the wisdom and gifts of nature that have served mankind for centuries!

Rosemary – a natural energising incense for rituals and meditation

Rosemary is a plant with strong cleansing and protective qualities, known for centuries in Mediterranean and European cultures, where it was used in purification and protection rituals. Today, rosemary has taken on new significance in spiritual practices around the world. Dried rosemary bundles in incense form – like white sage – are used in rituals inspired by the traditions of the Indigenous peoples of North America. Rosemary prepared in this way, as a smudging tool, helps cleanse a space, bring clarity of mind, and offer spiritual protection.

Using rosemary as incense helps cleanse the aura and space of accumulated, unfavourable vibrations. Its fresh, slightly camphorous scent stimulates the nervous system, improving focus and supporting both creative and intellectual processes. For this reason, this incense is often chosen by people working with intention, those who are studying, meditating, or practising protective rituals. It is believed that rosemary smoke attracts positive energies while simultaneously forming a protective barrier against external influences – such as psychic attacks or energetic chaos. It is the perfect ally during times of transition, decision-making and spiritual breakthroughs.

Burning rosemary incense – how to use it?

Before you begin the smudging ritual:

1. Create the right atmosphere and organise your surroundings. Pause, unwind, and relax. You will fully experience the magic of herbs with an open and clear mind. The smudging ritual is a special moment that allows you to look deep into your soul, so don't perform it in haste.
2. Approach the rosemary incense smudging ritual with respect and reverence. It is a part of the ancient culture of Native Americans, who connected with the spirit of nature and achieved complete harmony with themselves and their surroundings through this ritual.
3. During the ritual, focus on the intention that will guide you. Surround yourself with the fragrant rosemary smoke, immerse yourself in the incense's aroma, and feel the natural magic of South American Indians. Cleanse your soul, mind, and surroundings, dispel negative energy, and invite everything positive.

Instructions for using rosemary incense:

1. Holding a bundle of rosemary leaves in your hand, light one of its ends by holding it over a flame for a few seconds. Use a candle, match, or lighter. Wait until the incense begins to smoulder.
2. Extinguish the incense by blowing out the flame or shaking it vigorously. Soon, thick, intensely fragrant smoke will rise from the bundle. At the moment of extinguishing the flame, think about the intention that will accompany your ritual.
3. Use the fragrant smoke to cleanse yourself by directing the incense from your feet to your head, then cleanse the room, objects, or people you wish to purify. Once the ritual is complete, place the still-smouldering incense in a safe location, such as a ceramic bowl or a dedicated holder. After a while, the incense will extinguish on its own – you can relight it if needed. Open the windows to let in fresh air, bringing positive energy into the space.
