Today, I want to talk about something that’s been making my tarot readings way better – incense. Yeah, you heard that right, incense. I mean, I used to just lay out my cards and get to it, but then I got thinking, what if I could make the whole thing feel, I don’t know, more special? More focused?
So, I started looking into this whole incense thing. Turns out, it’s not just about making the room smell nice, though that’s definitely a plus. It’s about setting the mood, you know? Like when you light a candle for a romantic dinner. But for your brain and your intuition and stuff. I came across this shop called “House of Tarot Incense.” It looked interesting, so I decided to give it a shot.
Here’s how I did it:
- First, I checked out their collection. They’ve got all these different blends, each one supposed to match up with a different tarot card. Pretty cool, huh? I picked out a few that sounded good, like one for the “High Priestess” card that’s supposed to be all mystical and one for “The Lovers” that’s, well, you can probably guess.
- Then, I waited for them to arrive. The anticipation was kinda fun, like waiting for a present. When they got here, I cleared off my usual tarot reading spot, made sure it was all tidy and calm. This is important, guys, you gotta have a clean space to get your head right.
- Next, I picked the “High Priestess” incense, ’cause that’s the card I wanted to focus on. Lit that baby up, and let the smell fill the room. It was kinda flowery, but also a little spicy, you know? Made me feel all tingly and ready to dive deep into some tarot wisdom.
- Finally, I did my reading. And let me tell you, it was different. I felt way more connected to the cards, like I could really hear what they were trying to tell me. It wasn’t just my imagination, I swear. The incense really helped me tune out all the other noise and just focus on the reading.
I’ve been experimenting with different scents since then. There was this one time I used a “Strength” blend that smelled like, I don’t know, a forest or something, very earthy. It made me feel super grounded, like I could take on anything. And another time, I tried a “Wheel of Fortune” one that was all cinnamon and made me feel, I don’t know, lucky. Like I was more open to whatever the universe wanted to throw my way. I feel that they really work!
I read somewhere that different scents have different vibes. Cinnamon is all about protection and luck. Vanilla is for love and, get this, making your brain sharper. Sandalwood is another one for protection and making things pure, I guess. Frankincense is for healing and calming your mind, and Pachouli, from what I heard, is good for money and attracting things. Jasmine is another one for protection and love, too.
So, if you’re into tarot, or even if you’re just curious, I’d say give this incense thing a try. It’s not gonna magically make you a tarot master, but it can definitely make the whole experience a lot more, I don’t know, real? Meaningful? It’s like adding a little extra something to your ritual, and for me, it’s made all the difference. Just pick a scent that you like, light it up, and see what happens. You might be surprised.
