To use incense in your full moon ritual, light the end of the stick or cone and let it slowly burn until it has burned out completely. You may want to place it in an abalone shell or other heat-resistant container so as not to damage any surfaces in your home. As it burns, focus on your intentions or goals while visualising them manifesting.
You can use incense as often as you like in your full moon rituals. Some people like to use it every time they do a ritual while others prefer to use it only when they need extra guidance or clarity. Ultimately it’s up to you how often you wish to use it.
