Sage is burned in oder to drive out bad spirits, feelings, or influences, and also to keep bad spirits from entering.

Cedar branches are brushed in the air to cleanse a home during the House Blessing Burn cedar for purification in much the same way as sage - it drives out negative energy; but it also brings in good influences. The spirit of cedar is considered very ancient and wise
sweetgrass is a tall wild grass with a reddish bas and perfume-like, musty odor. It grows mainly on the eastern side of the Rockies in Montana and adjacent Alberta, Canada. It also shows up in some small areas of Wyoming and South Dakota. Its botanical name is Hierochloe odorata. Some common names for it are Seneca grass, holy grass and vanilla grass. Sweetgrass is usually braided together in bunches as a person's hair is braided, although friends have said they have seen it simply bunched and wrapped in cloth. Either way, it is usually burned by shaving little bits over hot coals or lighting the end and waving it around, letting the smoke spread through the air
I was taught that it was good to burn sweetgrass after the sage or cedar as it drives out the bad influences. Sweetgrass brings in the good spirits and the good influences. As with cedar, burning sweetgrass while praying sends prayers up to the Creator
Frankincense and Myrrh are both resinous gums, a fluid that oozes from the bark of shrubby trees. Oils are extracted from the gum, and the purest oils are extracted using steam distillation. Today, most of the internationally-traded myrrh and frankincense are produced in the southern Arabian peninsula (Oman, Yemen) and in northeast Africa (Somalia).
Frankincense can provide profound spiritual benefits, especially the power to focus our spiritual consciousness and help us toward transcendent awareness
It is known to help us to detach from that which doesn’t have deeper spiritual meaning, such as over-attention to materialism, helping the personality better integrate with the Higher Self.
Myrrh was given as a gift to Jesus as a symbol that he was born to die. Myrrh is so very antibacterial it was often used for embalming the dead as well as being burned at funerals to honour the dead. Myrrh is known to unite Heaven and Earth in a person, the spiritual with the physical. It is aromatherapy for manifestation of the spiritual in oneself. It was drunk by Ancient Hebrews to raise their consciousness. It also helps the Higher Self manifest and transcend the material.
Like with Frankincense, Myrrh works therapeutically on the nervous system, to calm the mind and instill tranquility. It is an aroma to bring peace and inner stillness. Also like Frankincense it is also a very earthy aroma.
(it is a personal favorite of huppa's to mix frankinsince and murr)
