How to Use It

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so the ember glows. Stand it in an ash catcher, or push the bare end into a bowl of sand or rice, and open a window a crack — incense is meant to drift, not fill. Never leave it burning unattended; keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

In Tradition

Lakshmi is welcomed with lamps, lotus and sweets — especially at Diwali, when doors are opened and lamps lit so she will find the house. Burn this on a Friday, her day, with the front door clean.

Pairs Well With

Handmade Wood Incense Burner Boat, Prosperity Oil .5 oz, Citrine Tumbled Pocket Stone.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep it away from anything that can catch, and out of reach of children and pets. For fragrance only — not for internal use.
