Hi dream jo,
Incenses have magical powers of attraction or repulsion. I have a thurible (like they have in churches to burn incense but I don't use it now, instead using oil in a little burner. Some incenses/oils really help relaxation and some help brighten one's spirit (in the sense of enlivening and bringing optimism). A few drops of lemon oil in the bath works wonders.
I stopped using incense because my favourite incense maker retired (Sorcerer's Apprentice shop in Leeds) now offering very limited wares and a mix of exceptionally good magical books and charlatan stuff. My local esoteric shop sells incenses and charcoal but they aren't a patch on the SA ones)
The planetary incenses are pretty standard though.
Hope you're keeping well, dream jo!
