INCENSE SMOKE READING
Origins and Historical Use
​
The practice of reading incense smoke dates to ancient Babylon, where it was used to predict outcomes of battles, weather, and other significant events. It was also prevalent in ancient Greece and Rome, where priests and oracles used it to communicate with the gods. Incense smoke reading has been a part of various cultures and religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shintoism, where it was used in rituals and ceremonies to purify spaces, ward off evil spirits, and connect with the divine.
​
Libanomancy, or incense smoke reading, interprets the patterns, movements, and characteristics of the smoke to gather insights and messages from the spiritual realm. It’s a fascinating practice that promotes spiritual growth, personal insight, and energy work.
By observing the movements and patterns of the smoke, I interpret future messages and provide guidance for your questions. Similar to tarot or oracle cards, incense smoke offers insights into various aspects of life, with its shapes and directions conveying messages from the universe, ancestors, or your higher self.
​
Incense smoke reading is a beautiful and mystical practice that can offer profound insights and guidance.
