Incense, often considered a modern tool of spirituality, has a rich historical significance. Our ancestors have been harnessing its power for centuries, using it to diffuse bad energy and ensure protection.
Consider these ancient ancestral incense the next time you need to cleanse your space.
Good ol' frankincense has been burned across Egypt and East African countries like Somalia for energy cleansing, attracting blessings, and as offerings to deities. It is often paired with myrrh for sanitizing.
