Incense Stick - San La Muerte 20 Ct

San La Muerte Incense Sticks: a box of 20 hand-rolled sticks — a dark, resinous devotional incense. Made in India by SAC (Sandesh Agarbathi); sold by the box.

The Scent

A dark, resinous devotional incense burned for San La Muerte, the skeletal folk saint of Argentina and Paraguay — for protection and for asking hard things.

What's in the Box

• Count: 20 sticks
• Stick: about 8 inches, on a bamboo core
• Burn time: roughly 30 minutes a stick
• Made in India by SAC (Sandesh Agarbathi)

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

San La Muerte is a folk saint of the Guaraní borderlands, distinct from Mexico's Santa Muerte; devotees keep small carved figures and burn incense for protection, justice and love.

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.
