Make Your Own Incense See also Herbalism and Incense or perhaps your own divination things, witchy things, japanese incense, and stay away from all but a very little saltpeter. Or just see it done.

You can buy stuff or search up some or other.

  • While I was in the interior (of B.C.) I collected a bunch of sage which I rolled up into cigar sized bundles with cotton string. Incensed!
  • Get your patchouli stink outta my store!
  • Do I smell hippies? I must assert that I have yet to find an incense that smells anything like how it's supposed to smell. "Rainy Afternoon" smells like soap. "Desert Sunset" smells like soap. "Sweaty Truckdriver," on the other hand, does not smell like soap. What I do enjoy are strongly-scented flowers like jasmine, and when I stumble upon them I drop my crack pipe and roll around in the flowers until the oils saturate my overalls and the petals get shoved deeply into my ears and nostrils.
  • freesia.
  • Lavendar is easy to grow, and once you've dried it you can use it in little pillows in your drawers or drop it into a bath for a yummy smelly bath.
  • *sniffs meredithea's drawers*
  • I made incense in college at the end of one of my archaeology classes. We made kyphi and said an incantation to Athena.
  • I think my favorite "incense" is a chunk of cedar wood. Next up would be some lavender flowers. Both are freely available in the Pacific NW where I live - just another reason to be happy to live here! I never realized how much work goes into making a stick of incense. How can they afford to sell it so cheaply in those little blue cardboard boxes on the counters of convenience stores?
  • My drawers *are* rather nice...
  • Man, I was so disturbed. I read make your own INCEST... Freudian?
  • I'm with mechagrue, nothing tops the smell of cedar.
  • Spruce needles. Pine resin. Horse sweat and hay. Pumpkin pie. Applewood smoke. First coffee of the day.
  • Jelly toast Mountain breeze Just-bathed dog Coke slurpees
  • Toner
  • mothballs
  • durian
  • Researchers find link between heavy incense use and respiratory cancers. Blackstrap molasses Wet schist Ginger Lilac Wheat field after a thunderstorm Kretek
  • Rosemary Haste Home made from scratch chicken soup Bread baking Christmas trees Orange blossoms
  • Lol, haste? Make that "paste". As in, the stuff in jars they make you use when you're a little kid and they don't trust you with glue. Geez, the one time I don't preview...
  • Ah, the sweet, sweet smell of haste. Kind of a mixture of sweat and burning rubber.
  • Toast Walking past a pub in the summer Toast I always sniff my Creme Egg before biting the top off. Toast
  • Well I go down the supermarket With me basket in me hand, I'm walking from one counter to another Trying to find the bread stall, But I can't find it anywhere And then I bump into a mother With a baby in a basket And she says "Oh look, you've started him off again, I come down here for a little bit of peace and quiet To get some bread to go home to make toast, Just toast, I like toast" Yeah, but I don't half like toast. OK, scrape that toast, boys!
  • Breakfast: Toast with PB and Jam Lunch: Cheese toasty / cheese on toast, brown sauce Tea: Scrambled egg, beans, toast Supper: Tea and toast *sings* Oh it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with youuuuuuu!
  • Thanks for the memories, Cap'n!
  • I LOVE TOAST well, I do.
  • All back to mine! I'll put the grill on!
  • cinnamon toast
  • I'm eating toast right now!
  • Toast is evil. All those unadulterated carbs... But....I LOVE TOAST!
