To represent Air on your altar, place an item in the East. This is often something scented, such as incense, essential oils, or smudges. Alternatively, a feather from a flying bird can be used to symbolize Air.
Sacred scents are used to energetically cleanse a space, invite specific powers, or assist witches in shifting their consciousness.
Feathers can also be used to cleanse energy fields and to fan incense or smudge smoke.
Like candles, incense serves multiple purposes.
Some people find incense helpful for meditation, while others offer it to the Gods. It can also be used in cleansing rituals and banishings. Additionally, certain aromas are believed to have mystical or medicinal properties.
Remember to include an incense burner or censer as well.
The censer and incense are used to prepare the ritual space.
Ritual censing is believed to banish negativity and make the circle more welcoming to spirits and deities.
