16.  Samhain Botanical Incense + Charcoal
Choose a quiet and serene place for your ritual.
You can decorate the altar or the space with symbolic items of Samhain, such as autumn leaves,
pumpkins, etc.

Ritual Procedure:

 
Light a candle or use a lighter to ignite the charcoal disk. Hold the charcoal with tongs or a special charcoal holder to avoid burning yourself.

• Wait a few minutes for the charcoal disk to become incandescent. You'll know it's ready when its surface turns gray and is covered in ashes. You can gently blow on the charcoal to expedite this process.
  
  

  Once the charcoal is ready, place it in the incense burner or heat-resistant dish.
  
  

  Sprinkle your incense blend onto the glowing charcoal disk. Start with a small amount to see how the incense reacts.
  
  

  As the incense begins to burn, it will release fragrant smoke. Meditate or reflect on your intention as you watch the smoke rise.
  
  

  When you have completed your ritual, make sure to fully extinguish the charcoal disk by placing it in a safe
  bowl and pouring water over it. Do not dispose of it directly in a trash can while it's still hot.
  
  

  Clean up your workspace and ensure all safety precautions are taken.
