Sweet, warm vanilla is one of the most comforting scents in incense, long associated with warmth, sweetness, and gentle good feeling. In Scott Cunningham's correspondences vanilla answers to Venus and the element of Water, tied to love and to lifting the spirits, which places it on Friday among the days of the week. Burned as incense, its creamy sweetness sets a cozy, harmonious tone, well suited to easing a space, lifting a mood, and quiet ritual or meditation.

The incense does not act on its own; it warms the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to bring a little warmth and sweetness to a room, to lift the mood before company, or to set a gentle, happy tone for your practice. Where the sharper cleansing herbs clear a space out, vanilla is what you burn once it is clear, to make the room somewhere you and your people actually want to be.

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
3. Set your intention. As the warm, sweet scent fills the room, name the warmth or good feeling you are inviting.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
