of kinship to a social gathering.

Adding them to an incense mixture furthers

Although ground and mixed into one's personal
incense mixture is the most common use,

LORE
From Frazer in The Golden Bough we learn
that on certain islands of Indonesia
in the Malay Archipelago the clove trees
are considered very sacred.

When they come into bloom they are treated
with the same care and respect
given to pregnant women.
