Description

Carved Soapstone Incense Burner is used to burn Powdered Incense. First, light the charcoal, allow it to warm completely. Next, sprinkle a small amount of the powder on the charcoal. Start with small amounts. Too much and the charcoal may become smothered and extinguished. Then using your hand, feather or natural breeze spread the rising smoke about. Later add powder if more permeation is needed.

Create sacred space, cleans a space, or set intent with powdered incense. This process is called fumigation, saining or smudging. To do this, work with as much powdered incense as necessary until you see the smoke resting or moving about in the room. For best results, use your hand, large feather, or hand held fan to waft the smoke about the space. You may use paper or fabric fan CAUTION- do not get it too close to the charcoal as it could catch on fire.

Create your own incense using herbs and resins. First, select herbs and resins with properties that relate to your intent. Then crush the herbs in a mortar and pestle until they are a course to fine powder. As you’re grinding, speak incantations over the mix infusing and aligning it with your intent. Finally, you’re ready to use your own incense. Enjoy!
