Wooden Incense Holder
A carved wooden incense holder. Burning incense is one of the oldest offerings: the rising smoke carries prayers and intentions upward to the Orishas, the ancestors and the spirits, and clears heavy energy from a space. The holder gives that offering its place on the altar, with wood, a living material from the earth, grounding it and catching the ash so the offering stays clean and respectful. Set the stick in the hole at one end; the ash falls into the groove.
