RE: Walk With Me in Denver: City Park Edition
It's been forever since I've been to Denver, thanks for sharing your walk about. I love many pure incenses! So much so I sell a wee variety... I think my favorite I have is Copal resin sticks like the traditional sticks instead of the balls and pieces, and the second favorite of mine is actual sandalwood sustainably harvested and grown from Australia! Nom nom, one of these days I'll get a presence online with my sales, sheez... what do you like to use?
My faves are Triloka chakra incense, but I am in the process of testing out different kinds because now my allergies have gotten to the point where certain varieties are setting me off that didn't used to. Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa was my go-to but now I can't use it; even the crown chakra Triloka (which is frankencense and myrrh and something else) is out. But the other chakras I've tried since (heart, solar plexus, third eye) are fine. Throat chakra was next on my list. I was going to try some HEM incense too. There is a locally-made sage incense I like and know is safe for my allergies, but it's $6 for twenty sticks so I can't afford it lots. :)
Yeah, I had to stop nag champa many decades ago @phoenixwren and all the really heavy oil incense I can only handle it outside, I'm super sensitive to any toxic added chemicals to anything, smell it a mile away and my body reacts in inflammation of the throat . Like palo santo i sell cause people love it, but it's too thick like the nag champa.. you know what's great on the cheap and will clear a room faster than sage, Rosemary, I grow it and burn tons in my house is so nice when dried and I burn Arizona juniper and oregon cedar and those all come like you wood find palo santo in wood chunks. I do a resin blend with my home grown flowers/herbs that has the frankincense and myrrh you need charcoal disks or fire place for that... I use in my cauldron.
I've always reacted to dragon's blood incense, and any of the really cheap chemical ones. But I loooooooooooooved nag champa. Sob. LOL
I will have to try rosemary!
I have some resins, but MAN those charcoal disks are a bear to get lit properly without smoking myself out...
