A natural wooden incense cone holder featuring a carved pentagram design and central metal insert for burning incense cones.
The pentagram is traditionally associated with protection, balance and the elements, adding symbolic meaning to this functional piece for your altar, meditation space or everyday incense ritual.
Use it as part of your daily incense ritual, during meditation or simply whenever you want to bring fragrance and atmosphere into your space.
The pentagram has been used in different traditions and contexts throughout history. In contemporary spiritual and magical practice, it is commonly associated with protection, balance and the elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit.
Its meaning can vary between traditions, making this a particularly fitting piece for those who choose to incorporate elemental or protective symbolism into their personal practice.
For incense sticks, place the stick securely into the opening provided and position the holder so falling ash remains within the tray.
For incense cones, place the cone in the designated area of the holder before lighting.
Always place the incense holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface before use.
Burn incense in a well-ventilated area with good airflow.
Incense, ash and the holder may become hot during use. Always place the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials.
Ensure incense is positioned securely so hot ash or embers fall within the holder rather than onto surrounding surfaces. Never leave burning or smouldering incense unattended, and keep away from children and pets.
Allow the incense, ash and holder to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

Incense burners, cauldrons, trays and their contents may become hot during use. Always place your burner or holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. When using charcoal or a vessel that becomes very hot, use an insulating trivet or tile underneath.
Burn incense in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Ensure incense sticks, cones, Palo Santo and other burning materials are positioned securely so that hot ash or embers fall within the burner or tray rather than onto surrounding surfaces.
Never leave burning or smouldering incense unattended. Keep incense, burners and hot charcoal away from children and pets.
When using charcoal, handle charcoal discs with suitable tongs and avoid touching or moving the burner while hot. Allow the burner, charcoal, ash and incense residue to cool completely before handling, cleaning or disposal.
Different materials retain and respond to heat differently. Only use your burner or holder with the types of incense described in its individual product listing, and follow any additional care instructions provided there.
