The Anatomy of Your Sacred Tool

Every element of this burner is designed to honor the ritual of smoke cleansing, turning the act into a mindful practice.

Beginning Your Sacred Ritual

This ash catcher is a blank slate for your personal magic. Here are a few ways to begin your journey.

1. Activating Your Tool

• Upon receiving your ash catcher, find a quiet moment. Hold it in your hands and trace the brass elephant. State your intention for it to be a tool that clears obstacles from your path.
• Place your favorite incense stick in the brass-inlaid holder, light the tip, and gently blow out the flame.

2. For Wisdom and New Beginnings

• Use during study, meditation, or when starting a new project to invoke the obstacle-removing energy of the elephant.
• Burn a cleansing incense to clear your space, allowing the elephant to “ground” the energy and the stars to “elevate” it.

Tools for Your Ritual

Enhance your rituals by pairing this ash catcher with tools that amplify its energy.

• Sandalwood Incense: Pair your burner with this classic, sacred scent often associated with Ganesha, wisdom, and grounding.
• Black Tourmaline: Keep a piece of Black Tourmaline nearby to amplify the protective, grounding energy of the elephant and the Sheesham wood.

3. Honoring Your Tool

With proper care, this ash catcher will be a centerpiece of your altar for years.

• Cleaning: Regularly empty the cooled ash into a respectful place (like a garden or potted plant). Do not let ash build up.
• Protecting the Finish: To clean, wipe gently with a *dry* cloth. Avoid water or chemical cleaning solutions, which can damage the wood and tarnish the brass.
• Storage: Store your ash catcher on your altar or a flat, respectful surface.

Questions & Curiosities

Is the design painted on?

No, it is a genuine, high-quality brass inlay. The metal symbols (both the elephant and the stars) are permanently set into the wood, giving it a beautiful, tactile, and durable finish that will not rub off or fade.

What kind of incense does this hold?

This ash catcher is perfectly designed for standard incense sticks that have a thin wooden or bamboo core. It is not designed to be used with cone incense, resin, or “solid” coreless incense sticks.
