Kind of a random question, but do any of you associate the deities or entities you work with (for those who do) with any particular scents?
Bast makes me think of Jasmine, or Musk & Patchouli.
Sekhmet makes me think of Cinnamon.

Fiddlers Green This animist thinks that clove spirits smell like cloves, only more so.... ad infinitum. ninja Cloves make me think of Wepwawet. I love cloves. Big reason why I used to smoke the cigarettes, but it's good I've quit them.

whiporwill-o this is slightly off topic, but not really... we have this India Temple incense that we sell at work and it smells simply divine (no pun intended) i bought 3 boxes of it 3nodding This is more a fun topic than anything else. Sharing of favorite incenses is fine, too. Even better if you can relate it to a deity. This can be an opportunity to turn UPG into CPG.

This can be an opportunity to turn UPG into CPG. i unfortunately do not know any deities personally yet, and know very few of them by their myths, so it is difficult for me to assign scents to them as of yet. though, i do tend to think of Aphrodite when i smell apples 3nodding

At the local dollar store I bought one called "Love" I don't know exactly what it's composed of but it smells amazing. I use it for non-ritually and it's very light and sweet. It doesn't really remind me of love though..

It doesn't really remind me of love though.. where i worked we had a perfume oil called love, it was a mix of amber and another scent called egyptian goddess... though i don't know what's in egyptian goddess. sweatdrop

Hehe, I have whole mental compediums of smell associations xD
Associations are just what I do with everything, its a source of comfort to me a little confused . I also associate food, songs and colours with divinty and other things.
Here are my godly asscoiations:
Poseidon- Myrhh
Hermes- Cinnamon, green tea
Aphrodite- rose, jasmine, lavender
Persephone- lavender, green tea, pomegranite
Hera- Apples+ choclate, cinnamon, lavendar
Agathos Daimon- sandlewood
Dionysos- Sandlewood
Helios- Lemongrass
