Abundant, grainy and not overly expensive. Think of it as Red River Cereal for the soul. We know already that incense is an appropriate symbol of the soul’s ascent and a means of hallowing or ‘pointing to’ significant places or actions – something which enjoys both clear Biblical warrant and obvious analogues in other religious traditions.

Not all of it has to do with the physical effects of the stuff.
