K2 Incense, K2 Herb and the Origins of Incense

June 3, 2010 - PRLog -- K2 Incense is an extremely dynamic Incense product. From the start, men have been preoccupied with the query of divinity-who is responsible for us being here and how do we relate to the Creator. All primitive peoples have developed some kind of world-view which they voice thru misconceptions, legend or stories. All life was viewed as reliant on a force which exceeded the obvious world. This force was feted through precise rites and rituals. How was illness and environmental disturbances or calamities translated in this world view?-as discord or disharmony between the human, environmental, and non secular realms. Diseases were viewed as disunity and so early on the art of healing was tied up with an ability to appease the spirit world, thrill the gods and counter curses.

The Role of Incense and Aromatics

In these world perspectives, perfumed odors were thought to be preferred by the gods and were a strategy of appeasing their wrath and rage and guaranteeing divine favor and attracting special attention to requests. Since scent delighted the human senses, it was assumed that the deities found it really pleasing like K2 incense, in fact it was considered the 'food of the gods.' These odours were thought to work like a drug on the minds of the gods as well as on the minds of men and thus the gods would look kindly on the misdeeds of man. In Syria and Mesopotamia, incense smoke was used as a form of divination to calm the rage of the gods so they would be inclined to give positive oracles. It was also used as a means of purification-cleansing the human soul before the face of the god.

Many herbs and aromatics were also considered to have enchanting properties like healing. Temples erected to honor the gods had great urns for the burning of incense before the gods. Early on, burning incense like K2 in the sick room was a typical way to cure. The Sumerians and Babylonians burned incense as a means of purification to please their gods, the Hebrews used burning incense ( often thought to be frankincense ) to veil the presence of the Lord God in the holy tabernacle, the early Persians used incense in their worship which is depicted on their monuments at Persepolis, the Muslims still offer incense in the shrines of their saints today. The Roman Catholic church, Anglican and orthodox Christian churches still used frank incense and myrrh incense to honor their God in their rituals.

Incense was absolutely essential in the traditional Egyptian rituals. The rising smoke was seen figuratively as a car to carry one's requests to the deities and to bridge the realm of human and spiritual. This is especially true for their complicated ceremonies surrounding death.

The Hebrews also used incense to carry their prayers to God.

'Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.' Psalm 141:2.
