Cedar is one of the most ancient forms of incense.
Cedar is a perfume of Mercury.
Dried and bundled cedar is ignited on the end, then the flames are blown out, allowing the tips to smolder and release plumes of smoke. The smoke is then distributed over the area to be cleaned, in accompaniment with prayer.
"Cedar has great hidden powers." - Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Medicine and Practical Magic
