Ritual
is important in our everyday humdrum lives. No ritual of any kind is
complete without its own incense. Artio at PeacockAngel creates
bespoke, specifically designed incense for whatever your purpose. Gathering
together the exotic ingredients can be difficult, time consuming and
expensive if you have to buy minimum quantities. Around the world
since the dawn of time incense recipes have been passed down the
generations with their formulas a closely guarded secret. We will provide
small bags of most incense blends, based on these most ancient of trade
secrets, made on the right days at the correct time.*
Incense, used properly, can give forth a mysterious essence which
penetrates and influences the deeper emotions of the subconscious. Ancient
civilisations understood this well, for the smoke of incense was an
important part of life, religion, and the celebration of the Mysteries.
Perfume has been used in the form of incense for at least 5000 years. In
Latin the word perfume means through smoke and incensum
to set on fire. In Japanese, the phrase for attuning oneself complete to
fragrances translates to 'listening to incense', which is a phrase it is
worth bearing in mind. Fumigations not only served to sweeten the air but
were believed to give protection from evil and disease. Most importantly
they were an offering to the Gods; these spiritual essences were sent to
them on the wings of sacred smoke. Their magical power is stored in the
ingredients used and released when they are burnt. Your prayers are
carried to the spirit realm through the burning of incense. Incense was
thought to support the soul in its ascent to heaven. Ancient altars sent
forth billows of aromatic smoke filling the temples with intoxicating
fragrance lifting the hearts of the worshippers and carrying their prayers
to the sky. Each waft of smoke contains the energy of the earth, the sun,
the rain, the wind, the stars, the moon and the sky.
A day without incense is a day lost was an ancient Egyptian saying.
