Incense Route
The Incense Route was one of many ancient trade routes used by Nabataean civilization to transport precious frankincense and other commodities between Southern Arabian Peninsula and Mediterranean world. Now listed on UNESCO World Heritage site list, it provided essential commerce between Southern Arabian Peninsula and Mediterranean world.
These traders not only brought cense with them on their travels but also cultural and artistic traditions from across their travels – their legacy can be found at numerous archaeological sites in modern-day Yemen and Negev where caravanserai have been identified.
New Age products span beyond Wiccan or Pagan products to include yoga, astrology and meditation – three more mainstream concepts – but still comprise an expansive category with an equally vast selection of merchandise.
Panpipes
Pan pipes (also referred to as pan flutes) are an ancient musical instrument with timeless appeal. Musicians and songwriters use pan pipes to compose beautiful tunes that promote serenity and tranquility.
Pan flutes consist of multiple tubes of differing length, each responsible for producing its own note. A player can adjust the pitch by covering and uncovering tubes’ openings to alter pitch levels.

Hitchcock movies often include what is known as a MacGuffin – something which helps the film come to life, yet doesn’t directly contribute to the plot itself (like The Maltese Falcon’s microfilm). No other Hitchcock film quite went as far out of logic than Spellbound with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck playing psychiatrists at a mental asylum who fall in love despite Peck having no memory of their prior romance and possibly possessing violent tendencies that cause Peck to forget them and Peck may harboring potential homicidal potential within.
The Green Man
Whether its pagan roots or Christian interpretation, the Green Man occupies a special place in British folklore. He appears frequently in Devonshire roof boss carvings as an emblem of power and wealth; at other times, his presence signals sickness – an allegory representing both physical illness and spiritual sinfulness.
Kingsley Amis’ 1969 novel Maurice Allington and its Green Man patronized by Kingsley Amis features a fearful figure draped in lascivious foliage: He stalks his prey with lascivious animals at his bidding. Unable to differentiate between 1960s counterculture’s pervasive malaise and personal neuroses he drinks excessively while suffering rheumatic ticks and pains before succumbing to hypnagogic jactitation.
