Eric RainesHOST
And so I remember the smell and those three horror movies that my parents put me through.
Eric RainesHOST
So what was the face for? Incense, the 70s.
Bob ColeHOST
Oh, the face? You know, for two hours, I've been trying to get my big computer screen to come on.
Bob ColeHOST
It just came on.
Miranda MelcherHOST
Hello and welcome to another episode on the New Books Network.
Miranda MelcherHOST
I'm one of your hosts, Dr. Miranda Belcher, and I'm very pleased today to be speaking with Dr. José Efraín Sánchez-Perry about a book published by the University of Arizona Press in 2026 titled Incense and Performance, The Lives of Mexica Ritual Specialists, which takes us into the world before the Spanish conquest of what is now Mexico, into a world of wealth.
Miranda MelcherHOST
Obviously, as the title suggests, in sense and performance, yes, those things are going to come up.
Miranda MelcherHOST
But in some ways, those are kind of the tip of the iceberg, I suppose, of a much larger, more intricate, more interesting culture of ritual, of education, of families, of community, of really all sorts of things.

Miranda MelcherHOST
So that's really interesting to see kind of what they're starting to do that's different, you know, once you're no longer sort of 15, 16.
Miranda MelcherHOST
And as you mentioned, that helps us understand the cover of the book.
Miranda MelcherHOST
And of course, one of the two key components, if we're talking about performance, but of course, the book is titled Incense and Performance.
Miranda MelcherHOST
So tell us about the incense people.

Miranda MelcherHOST
And so we get to really go into this world that is described, I think, in very evocative ways in the book.

EnochNARRATOR
The Ark was placed in a specially prepared tent.
EnochNARRATOR
Incense rose, instruments played, and the Divine Presence seemed to rest upon Zion.
EnochNARRATOR
David wrote Psalms at that time, recalling the greatness of God and the honor of having His presence among them.
EnochNARRATOR
Because the Lord chose Zion, this is my resting place forever.
Perdita FinnGUEST
And I think there's something very eerie going on with COVID destroying people's sense of smell and that deep sense memory.
Perdita FinnGUEST
Incense was created.
Perdita FinnGUEST
Incense people burn in Buddhist monasteries to summon the dead because the dead come to smells.
Perdita FinnGUEST
Perfumes, roses, the smell of roses to summon the dead.
Perdita FinnGUEST
And when I want to summon the dead...
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Getting back the feeling, a delicious taste.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Halifax Harbor Swallow me whole Moonrise Sunset Orion's bow Heart full of longing I search for the prize Only whispered echo Incense and meditation, soft edge of the breeze.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Bounded still point, more space and more ease.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Halifax Harbor, swallow me up.
OctavianGUEST
I have anointing oils.
OctavianGUEST
I have Incenses that specifically ward out negative spirits and things like that.
OctavianGUEST
I have a lot of preliminary invocations that I use to sort of cleanse the area of any kind of spirits that do harm or are negative in any way towards me.
OctavianGUEST
So these things, I think that's a lot of people's fear is how dangerous it is.
David BassousHOST
Very important.
David BassousHOST
Incense.
David BassousHOST
Pleasant smells.
David BassousHOST
The pleasant smell revives the soul.
EnochNARRATOR
The altars of Jehovah still stood on the hills of Samaria, but beside them, month by month, a new altar of black stone would rise.
EnochNARRATOR
Incense still rose, but no one knew for whom anymore.
EnochNARRATOR
And in the public squares where once songs celebrated the exodus from Egypt, people now sang to a god who rode the clouds and promised rain.
EnochNARRATOR
His name was Baal.
Sophie CecilGUEST
But anyway, so we dive into that in the column, should you read it.
Fernando Augusto PachecoHOST
Well, you have perfumes in front of us, and you did mention the Perfumer H Incense Water.
Fernando Augusto PachecoHOST
I think we need to spray here in the studio.
Fernando Augusto PachecoHOST
And again, I was going to ask about the challenges of writing about scent, but we're here, you know, on radio as well.
Fernando Augusto PachecoHOST
Shall we give a, a-
Sophie CecilGUEST
