There is nothing wrong with the use of incense. It just has no use in Catholic exorcisms. The smoke will not clear away unclean spirits.
I used to be involved in the occult, palmistry, seances, ouija boards. I’ve had things bothering me ever since, even after I became Catholic and had renounced it all. I had opened the door and it is very hard to close it again.
The last one, here, is actually something that roams the neighbourhood. It is not linked to my house, but seems to be attached to the house across the street. I’ve spoken with all my neighbours and they’ve had weird things happen. Across the street, they’ve had really bad things happen. A man hung himself in the back yard, a woman got her head bashed in with a brick and another got stabbed in the liver. I never heard if she lived or not. The last incident, a man ran amok with a newly sharpened samurai sword. These were all visitors to the house, not the residents.
I had my home blessed by our parish priest. It did not keep it out. I had to use the blessed salt and holy water twice, in lay exorcism, to get rid of it. The last time, I was halfway through and was inspired to pray in tongues instead of using the set prayers. I could feel the spirits then. It wasn’t just one. In the last room, I could almost hear them, my skin was tingling and my hair standing up but I persevered.
That was 5 years ago and I’ve had no problems here since. No evil presence, no evil smell.
If after having your home blessed by your priest, you still have problems, you can either use the lay exorcism prayers or ask your priest to exorcise your home.
By all means, discuss this with your priest.

This is a very lovely idea. We sometimes read his children’s Bible together…well, I read it. Both of my children enjoy it a lot. Reading from mine could be a good idea. Certainly won’t do any harm of course. Another thing worth trying. 
) so I did a quick sprinkle in his room last night and asked Saint Michael to protect this house and my son’s room. This reassured him, and he thought it was a bit of fun (he is only 5) so he went off to sleep.
" I’m not trying to sound offensive or hurtful, I’m just curious as to why there are Catholics here who don’t think using incense could be useful at all. Is it possibly because it isn’t used in the novus ordo liturgy really and you’re just not used to it? It’s used in every EO liturgy so maybe I’m just more used to it, I don’t know. Thoughts?
Where there is light, there is darkness, right?
