Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I am too sensitive to scents, so I can't use incense, oils, and some herbs, but thankfully the Goddess doesn't seem to mind.

It varies from witch to witch. Some witches use herbs and oils for their magical inclinations in order to help strengthen spells/amulets/talismans/rites/etc while some of us, instead, prefer to use herbs and oils in a more healing/curative manner (in fact, you'll find that many people who know a witch/healer will typically consult them first with an illness or problem before going through the hassle of going to the doctor - though if your witch/healer friend doesn't advise that you still at least talk to your doctor about what he/she is telling you to take then I advise you do so). Then again, some other witches entirely prefer to place importance on an entirely different thing for both healing or magical purposes (i.e. crystals, stones, charms, candles, ritual tools, themselves, animals/guides, etc.).
