how to pray with incense sticks

Sure, we can! I usually do it during a full moon. You need to first find a safe space for burning incense, like an incense holder. The holder should be on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Yes, and please, avoid mirrors. I hate mirrors! Make sure to open the windows to avoid the excessive smoke, even though I am a fan of the...mystic fog, you know from those vampire movies.

Next, light the tip of the stick with a match. Once it’s lit, let it burn for a few seconds and then blow it out, like those candles they blow out in the horror movies, then say your prayers.

That's exactly it. Just remember, it's not about the smoke, but about the scent. Vampire movies may lead you to believe that smoke plays a huge part in rituals, but in real life it's all about the aroma, creating a calming environment, and channeling your intentions to the universe.
