Sticks or grains?
I love sticks and think they are the best and most practical option to let the energy of incense work effectively, but if you want to use grains, you can rely on that. It’s your call and your practice, don’t forget that!
Do I need a burner?
If you are going to use grains yes, I highly recommend using an incense burner so you can burn the incense grains safely and practically, but if you want to use incense sticks instead, you don’t need a burner! For incense sticks, an incense holder is more than enough!

You can chant these words out loud but it’s not mandatory! If you are not into prayers, you can skip this part, or, if you love prayers but these words below don’t seem to be in tune with your devotion to Lilith, you can create your own prayer!
“Powerful Lilith
Goddess of the moon
Goddess of women
I am here to honor you
I am here bowing to you
Might your energy bless me
I embrace my femininity
I embrace the strength and the generating force that all can create and all can destroy
Let me be your vessel to make this energy rule the world and shape the universe
So be it”
