Reddit mentions: The best incense holders

Okay, I've always dreamed of having a room that was all done up Arabian Nights style, with lovely lush silks hanging from the walls and pretty Moroccan lamps everywhere, so... I'm gonna give you that, via amazon suggestions :)

First we start with this lovely canopy for your bed. Then I would add this Incense burner because well, it looks like a genie lamp, and incense is sexy and can help you set the mood. Then we would hang several of these beautiful hanging candle holders around the room, for mood, also it's impossible for anyone to look bad by candle light. Then we would hang several of these along the walls, to really give it that Arabian appeal, so you feel like you are in a tent. Then top that off with a few more candle holder lamps around the room, and some poufs and some rugs and you have yourself a lovely harem, all you need to do is fill it with sexy men :)

Justin Bieber is one of the cockiest douchebags to ever rise to fame.


also I would love to send you a post card :)

I don't know how my uncle goes about it. But I will try to find out. I know Medicine men in tribes do use them. They are blessed by the great spirit. My tribe gives them out for things like special occasions like graduation where a person is about to go into a new life journey. I would say find a tribe by you I know Nisqually is by Tacoma and if you can contact their medicine man they might be able to help. With this feather that is blessed by the great spirit you will send out the smoke with a blessing. Also did you just walk around waving the sage or did you say stuff? Say something like "Negativity that invades my sacred place I banish you away with the light of my grace. You have no hold or power here. For I stand and face you with no fear. Be gone forever for this I will say. This is my sacred place and you will obey." Before you smudge you need to meditate get in a peaceful state of mind go in with positive energy. Before you go around your house you need to smudge yourself. then go about the house saying this prayer over and over until you covered the whole house. You can not be scared you have to go in with strong spirits. After that I would hang up sage at the windows and doors to keep good in and bad out. with each sage bundle you hang ask that each one Bring in only good and ward off bad, to keep the positive energy flowing. http://www.amazon.com/Sage-White-Smudge-Abalone-Feather/dp/B00CCCYX9I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1421607823&sr=8-5&keywords=smudge+kit . That link is like all the smudge kits I have seen people use.

1: u/ceracyanide you seem like you might have more of an opinion on this than anyone else I know :)

do you think this thing would work as a cool homemade candle? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KDWPD0/?coliid=I2NNBMD7AH4JP7&colid=3Q01HRKF3UIKC&psc=0&ref=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
because in theory, I think it sounds cool, but im not so sure.

2: uplifting news; everyone has been In a pretty bad mood today, my family has been screaming at each other... but despite all that, my dog is still concerned and wanting to comfort us. and he cant do that for everyone if we're in separate rooms, so we have to be together and not fighting to cheer the dog back up. having my adorable little pitbull cuddle up against me makes me feel pretty good despite the negativity.I just love him so damn much you guys :) im so lucky to have each of these dogs!


3: im always thinking about the people I care about most, despite how much they piss me off. also, i have pretty colored eyes.

Welcome!

An altar doesn't have to be anything grand: the top of a small cupboard, or just a wall shelf will do. Here's a selection of modern Chinese ones (never be afraid to learn from other polytheists!) https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/chinese-home-altar.html

You need

• a plate to put offered food on
  
• a bowl to pour libations into
  
• something to burn incense on. Amazon has lots of things, but avoid burning lumps of charcoal: the cheap solution is an incense stick in a holder, the expensive one is burning grains of incense over a tea-light https://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Adjustable-Frankincense-Charcoal-Candles/dp/B07C9C5975/ref=sr_1_149?crid=1VFWGRXTNW8AE&keywords=incense+burner&qid=1570899720&sprefix=incense+b%2Caps%2C316&sr=8-149
  
• a stature or picture of the god(s) you are worshiping is nice and helps to focus. You can down-load a lot of Greek art from http://www.theoi.com/
  
• a candle or lamp is traditional
  
• a vase for flowers is nice.
  
  You don't need to keep a fire burning. We don't have many Greek houses excavated, but very few of them had a hearth. Presumably they used portable braziers, and those wouldn't keep burning all day — or even all night.
  
  As for timing, worship when you get up, or before going to bed, or before a meal — whatever is convenient. I do it before dinner, then the fruit and wine I offer become part of my meal — like inviting the gods to dinner. The libation bowl I empty next day, with a little prayer (which I pinched from a Heathen!): "From the Gods to the Earth to us; from us to the Earth to the Gods. A gift for a gift."

Here are two really cool ones from Amazon that I've used.

​

https://smile.amazon.com/Govinda-Wooden-Coffin-Incense-Burner/dp/B00MDXD8V0/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=incense+burner+box&qid=1570295607&sr=8-5 This one is like a basic stick burner, but opens and closes. Yes, you might get a box that won't hold your sticks well, but I've had this one for years and it's still great. It works well with most Indian style incense sticks, but does NOT work for Tibetan or Japanese incense because you need to put the bamboo end of the stick in the hole.

​

https://www.amazon.com/OneSoul-Collection-Incense-Catcher-Storage/dp/B07JZ2YS8J/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=OneSoul+Collection&qid=1570295822&sr=8-4 This one works for everything. You lay the stick on the black fabric, and let it burn. It's the best for Tibetan and Japanese sticks since you don't need a clip or holder to burn them. You can burn the entire stick with this.

  • I got this at Target but can't find the exact one. Amazon seems to have a bunch.
    
• Bedding/Comforter
  
  • I can't remember where this comforter came from since I've had it for so long. I'd recommend looking out for decent sales or checking HomeGoods for decently priced comforters

not entering. But I am a good student... My advice to you is to make flash cards, and on the day of the test, when your anxiety is just sky high, just repeat to yourself "i know the material. there is nothing to be nervous about. I know the material" .. I am not sure why, but it helps. And i have smoked a time or two. And there is a great item that i feel more people should know about here but it's not under 10 dollars. but look how great it is.

This one or This one with a lid would be cute-but-useful editions to your basket.

Also, you're a great and thoughtful friend. Just so you know. :)

Amazon sells them. Here's one I found that I really like. Simple and small.

What full blown "real" zen gardens look like

You can always make a DIY one that'll be a million times more cool and way more meaningful to you. It can be simple like one made in a big piece of Tupperware. Or you could find something you're not using anymore like a broken pot. Or use a container with meaning to you like something a grandparent gave you.

Put in some fine, jagged sand. Jagged particles will stay together nicer.

You'll need to buy or make a rake. There are a hundred different ways you could do this. Make one out of a fork. Or construct a really nice one out of real wood pieces. Or just grab one off Amazon.

Decorate it with whatever you want. You could put anything in there, really. Rocks. LEGOs. Shells. Stuff on your desk like paperclips or binder clips.

Then when you're bored or frustrated or you need to think, rearrange everything and do whatever designs in the sand you want to do.

It sounds stupid but you'll be amazed how many times you go back to it and how many things your rearrange it into.

Hi Cat, I can help.

You'll need an incense burner, something like this (there are plenty of new age/pagan shops that sell these online, I just found it fastest on Amazon).

You'll also need charcoal and a wooden coaster to set the charcoal burner on.

Then you can pretty much follow these directions to get you on your way!

I typically like to, but in this case:
https://www.himalayansaltco.us/collections/incense/products/handmade-lotus-pond-backflow-incense-burner-ceramic

Or, same exact thing:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT1NGG2/ref=psdc_3734831_t2_B00R9GUYMW

The price difference is remarkable for the exact same thing.

Here's one for sale and actually has great reviews, so it must work well?

Back-flow Incense holder.

I was given an OTOFY incense holder NSFW. The concept is cool for these, but you have to burn them in a room where the air is fairly still, otherwise you won't get the waterfall effect. Which basically defeats the purpose of incense.
