Synopsis
The practice of burning incense can be traced back through every culture of humankind on earth. Fragrance is a subtle force that influences all centres of perception and creates a connection to the subtle levels, consequently carrying whatever concerns us into higher dimensions from where support and fulfilment come. This is a concise and many-faceted guide to the world of incense, with practical hints for many applications.

...the spice of life...
14. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
This has become one of my favourite books on incense.
It begins by describing the origins of incense, and the effects of burning incense, and then the methods and utensils for burning incense.
He follows this with the outlines for 10 different incense burning ceremonies, with suggested incenses, for a variety of areas - such as clearing and cleansing, sensuality, joy, harmony, protection, energy and transformation, strength, etc. These are also useful as inspiration for creating ones own.
He then goes on to explain the various planes of perception for incense, the four elements, and the centres of perception.
Next is the section on various incenses. Not exhaustive but covers an adequate range of, mainly, the more easier to obtain incenses. Each one listed with the origin, traditional use, notes on burning as incense, and fragrance message. He also includes any other names for the incense as well as the part of the plant, and corresponding elemental force, and emphasis. My only complaint with this book is that the pictures with each listed incense are all in black and white, making it a little difficult to fully familiarise oneself with the incense.
At the back of the book is a great resources section. The first broken up into the four elements and listing the corresponding incense and emphasis (listed as either mind, body, or emotion)with the 'fragrance message'. The next part being a list of incenses and suggestions for its particular purpose, such as anti-depressive, or diabetes, relaxation, sleep promoting, etc etc.
All in all, well worth the addition to the library of anyone interested in the use of incenses.

Not a beginners' book!!!
7. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
While there is some information in this book I have never come across before, like using incense to treat pain and diabetes, I really wanted to give this book only 2 stars, but some of the problems I have with it may not be the author's fault. The author wrote the book in German. This was translated into the English version, which is what I purchased. This book is full of typographical error. There is missing punctuation; there is one point where "star anise" is flipped and separated by an entire sentence. These aren't the only problems, however. Some of the plant descriptions tell one to use the "herbage" (which I am defining as the parts of the plant that are above ground, also known as the aerial parts) but show a picture of a resin and describe how the resin is produced. Are we supposed to use the herbage or the resin? What about where the plant part is not listed? One cannot assume a specific plant part because some plants have multiple parts, such as juniper. Also, there are some plants that have plant name synonyms that are incorrect. For example, "spike" is not a synonym for Lavandula angustifolia. Spike lavender is a different plant of the same species, Lavandula latifolia. As for the look of the book, I was very disappointed the herb pictures were not in color, particularly when used as the introductions to the rituals. Regarding the rituals themselves, they are not for the beginner. They are sometimes quite complex, and at least one uses nine different incenses. Unless you are already practiced at the use of incense, meditation, and prayerworking, this is not the book for you. It is hard for me to believe somebody who has been doing this type of work for almost 35 years made so many errors; that is why I am giving the author the benefit of the doubt and blaming the English translators/editors for their apparent lack of ability.
