Sometimes you just cannot burn a candle or incense indoors, and that poses a problem for people doing magical workings or who simply want to pump up the etheric ambiance. Enter the salt lamp. The vibe of a salt lamp, to my mind, is as good or better than a candle and achieves the same thing. It is warm, comforting, mellow, yet lively. It can stand in for the element of fire in a ritual, though it also obviously invokes Earth.
In my own case, I do still burn incense and candles, but I often try to keep them to a minimum because my husband has allergies. I have already inflicted three indoor cats on the poor guy in our tiny little home!
As for body spray, I am obviously not spraying it on my body. Body spray is a light perfume. I could have also used Florida water. Either way, I am using the evaporative property of scent to invoke the element of air. I have sprayed it on a microfiber rag here and left it laying on top of the brass mini-cauldron to diffuse its scent. I also have normal perfumes which I spray on microfiber cloths. I suppose if I was classier, I would spray it on a vintage handkerchief.
My altar at the moment.
