How to Light Your Incense

"The Lighting Ritual"

Five steps to a clean burn, every time

1

Prepare Trim any frayed wick tip and seat the incense firmly upright in its holder, over a heatproof dish or a bed of sand. 

2

Ignite Hold the tip in an open flame at a slight angle for 8–10 seconds, until it catches and glows on its own.

3

Release the flame Gently blow it out. A small ember should remain at the tip, glowing red rather than flaming.

4

Let it breathe Smoke should rise in a steady, unbroken thread. If the ember fades, relight briefly and blow out again.

5

Rest Place the holder somewhere still and ventilated, away from drafts. Let it burn undisturbed until finished.

BEFORE YOU LIGHT

• Never leave burning incense unattended, even briefly.

• Keep clear of curtains, papers, and anything flammable.

• Burn in a ventilated room, out of reach of children and pets.

• Extinguish fully in sand or water before disposing of ash.
