A scent that brings warm earthy calm
Patchouli is one of those well loved scents that for many people also recalls the atmosphere of homes from the seventies and eighties. It has a deep, earthy, slightly sweet character, so it speaks especially homely in autumn and winter. This Yogi & Yogini angel incense arrives in the name of Archangel Uriel, and patchouli places this warming, home like feeling at the centre.
Archangel Uriel, by tradition
In many traditions the figure of Archangel Uriel is a symbol of wisdom, insight and intimate silence. You do not need a separate religious background to enjoy the incense: the name gives a calm intention to the moment of lighting. Those who love a symbolic companion often choose such incense next to evening reading or a longer conversation.
Patchouli, with slow burning
The sticks are of a compact size and burn slowly, so they do not fill the room with smoke at once. The patchouli scent unfolds gradually and stays in the air for a good while after lighting. A few seconds are enough to light it, and a few minutes are enough for the room to change.
When and how to use it
Burn the incense in a well ventilated room, on a safe, non flammable holder. Place it a little away from the window so a draught does not blow out the ember. Many light one before meditation or yoga practice, others for a rest after a bath. At an evening welcome the patchouli scent receives guests in an especially warm way.
Storage and a few warnings
Keep the unopened package in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strongly scented materials, so the scent keeps its character for long. Never leave a burning stick unattended and keep it at a safe distance from children and pets. If someone in the household is sensitive to smoke, it is worth trying one stick alone first in an airy room.
