Tibetan Incense

[Mint666]

Greetings. I don't see that this has been discussed before.
There's a style of incense called Tibetan incense which I enjoy quite a lot. It has no wood stick on the inside; it's just a stick of dried herbal paste.
It also has very little fragrance to it. It smells very woody and earthy. However, whatever they put in it has a mild psychoactive effect the same way that Frankincense does (you can look into this).
It tends to facilitate trance states in a gentle and healthy way. If you aren't sensitive to smoke and you like to use incense then I recommend trying it out one time.

I've put a picture of one brand called Tara Healing Incense which seems to be a popular variety, and the first one that I ever tried. I still go with this brand since I've acquired a taste for the scent of it. They don't all smell quite exactly the same.

Does anyone else enjoy it?

I've never tried it, but the name of this incense is most certainly connected to the Goddesses; no wonder it's so good. Tara is a Tantric Goddess who is considered a manifestation of Parvati (Lilith), and the Hill of Tara is a sacred hill that was used in Ancient Ireland as the inauguration place or seat of the Irish High King. They said that when they would stand on the magical stone atop the hill, Lia Fáil (which looks exactly like a Shiva Linga), it would make a loud roar of joy, if the king was worthy or chosen by the Gods to rule. Os-tara is also the name of Astarte, so there could be a connection to Astarte as well.
