Most (if not all) of the recipes here will make non-combustible incense. That means that you must burn it on a charcoal block. To do it:
Single Ingredient Incenses
Nearly all of the information on these pages came from: The Complete Book of Incense, Oils, and Brews by Scott Cunningham. Llewellyn Publications; St. Paul, 1999.
Light a self-igniting charcoal block and place it in a censer. The censer can be a bowl filled with sand or salt (to protect the bowl from heat). Once the block is glowing and has stopped sparkling, sprinkle a half-teaspoon or so of incense onto it. Too much, and you'll extinguish the block. Don't knock off the ash that forms on top of the charcoal block, unless the incense starts to smell badly. In that case, scrape off the incense with a spoon and sprinkle some more on the block.
Very dangerous mixtures have been omitted. Where applicable, a safer substitute has been included instead. Any ingredients with an "*" next to them only smell bad or are irritating to the nose and eyes. They should be substituted with safer ingredients that can be found in the Magickal Herb Substitution Tables.
