Incense ^_^

    I got a load of incense-y related things for my birthday waaaaay back in february ^_^

    And I really don't feel very well today, and have a bit of a headache, so I've drawn my curtains, put on some nice ambient jazzy music from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, have lit a couple of candles, and made myself a cup of lovely redbush tea :slight_smile:

    I think now's the time to break out the incense :slight_smile: If only I could figure out exactly how to use this thing >.< The silver little thing inside it is a tealight, incidentally ^_^ Picture 24.jpg

    I've got a little bottle of what I presume is incense oil, and some sticks. Do they go in the holes on the top or what? And where exactly do I put the oil?

    Incidentally, *insert discussion about incense here* :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:[\

    I guess there should be a little 'bowl' or container on top of the candle and that's where you should put the oil.
    I prefer the sticks, esp Nag Champa :grin:

    Do you mean as in the little dipped in bit at the top of the whole white china thing? (I have no idea what to call it XD)

    Also, I'm assuming I was right about the sticks going in the little holes?

    (the stuff I've got is apparently apple scented...so it should be interesting to see what it smells like when I light it. I have a honey and vanilla candle burning at the moment...it's loooooovely :grin:)

    Yup, put the oil at the top.
    I don't know what the holes are for but I don't think you're supposed to put the sticks in because the ashes will fall.
    Be careful not to overdo it on the different scents, they can smell pretty strong.

    I think the sticks are for burning by themselves.
    There should be something to set them on for burning...
    Yeah, don't do the sticks AND the oil, it'll get reeeeally overpowering. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
