Using Ceremonial Incense

Our Rosa blend can be used as part of a ceremony or your entire ceremony. This incense is created to be burned on charcoal. The included wooden stick will allow you to burn the right amount each time. A little bit goes a long way! Remember that if you put too much incense on your charcoal, it may snuff it out.

Using it as part of your Ceremony

This blend can set the stage for any type of heart-centered ceremony. After you create your sacred space, you can light your incense. You must watch it; all incense burned on charcoal must be “fed.” This means you add a little incense at a time and add more as needed. This allows you to control the energy released through the incense as your ceremony progresses.

You may want more incense smoke if you are consecrating or blessing a tool with it and less if you are journeying or meditating. You may want to use the incense as an offering to honor a spirit or deity you may be working with. This incense makes a beautiful, gentle offering.

Using it as Your Ceremony

Incense can also be the focus of your ceremony. You would create sacred space as usual first. Make sure your charcoal is already lit. You would then sit in front of your censer and focus your intent on what your ceremony is for. With that intent clear in your mind, begin feeding your burner. Pay attention to the smoke and the herbs smoldering. The incense will burn for a while until it goes out (and would need to be fed again). I refer to this as a “set.”

You can use each incense “set” to elevate your intent during the ceremony. For example, if you were doing a personal work ceremony, your first set can focus on releasing negative thought patterns that keep you from moving forward. The second set could be accepting who you are and knowing you are valued and loved. The third set could be setting your intent on what new thought patterns you wish to embrace.

Intention Setting Ceremony

This Ceremony can be used for any intention setting, but it is especially effective for self-healing work.

You will need:

Your Rosa Incense
Rosa Oil
Pink Votive Candle (for Self-healing – if doing this for something else, choose the appropriate color)
Rose Quartz (Rose quartz can work for any healing or love-related ceremony)
Paper and Pen
Bag or ribbon

The Ceremony:

This ceremony is best performed on a full moon and should be re-done on the next full moon if you plan to keep working with the same intention.
Call in your sacred space as you usually do.
Charge your candle with your intent, in this case, your affirmation. If you are unsure how to do that, check out this article by Raven.
Light your Charcoal and begin burning your incense.
Run your rose quartz crystal through the smoke of the incense, hold it close to your heart, and charge it with the intention you set. Ask the crystal to work with you and keep you true to your intention.
Please write down your intention precisely as you want it to be on the paper.
Anoint your intention with the Rosa oil and it over the incense smoke.
Read the intention out loud three times.
Close your eyes and visualize how you plan to embody this intention daily.
Give gratitude to the universe for the aid it will provide as you embody your intention and to your higher self for being brave enough to take this step!
Wrap the intention paper around the crystal or place both in the same baggie and leave it on your altar overnight. They need to sit together for at least 24 hours.
Blow the candle out. You can re-use this votive the following month if you plan to use it for the same or similar intention. For example, you can still use the candle if you are doing more self-healing work but with a different purpose. If you decide to love magick, you will need a new candle.
After the items have sat on your altar for 24 hours, place the crystal on your nightstand and carry the paper. You can look at the paper anytime you need or want to remind yourself of the intent you are working with.
Throughout the month, you can re-light the votive candle if you plan to journal with your intention or do any other ceremonies with that same intention.
If you plan to continue working with this intention for the following moon cycle, burn the paper and create a new one through this ceremony. Be sure you cleanse and clear your crystal as well.
Repeat this ceremony – you can use the same crystal once cleansed.
