£1.04
Adding to basket... The item has been added

Size: Approx 26cms long

Country of origin: India

Information: Place the incense stick into the small hole at one end and align the length above the main part of the ski. Then as the stick burns, and ash is formed, it will simply drop onto the ski where afterwards you can tip the ash into the bin. 

The only difference between this ski and the plain ski is that this one has small brass shapes inlaid into the wood.

More About the Symbol of the Moon
Throughout many traditions the sun represents the father and male principle and the moon the mother and feminine principle. The energy of the moon is intuitive, deep, subtle, feminine and psychic. To say this is a feminine energy does not mean to say this energy is just for women. Men and women have their female and male aspects. We all develop them both. 

The moon is also associated with clairvoyance and knowing without thinking. To use the energy of the moon does not involve conscious thought. So to wear or have around you the symbol of the moon is to state your universal intention to use your intuition, to simply go with what you feel and to know that to do this is for your greater good. 

The moon has different phases and throughout these phases it affects us in different ways. For example the full moon represents illumination, unconscious made conscious and all can be seen. The crescent moon symbolises new beginnings and the making of dreams into reality. Because of this cyclic nature the moon it is also connected to rebirth and how our true essence really is immortal.

More About the Symbol of a Star
When many of us in the west think of the star as a symbol the first one that comes to mind is the star that announced to the wise men the birth of Jesus Christ. As such we connect the star with hope and prophecy and we begin its association through countless civilisations with mysticism, cosmic forces and universal mystery. The Mayans and Egyptians are known to have mirrored star constellations in the arrangement of their pyramids and some Native American tribes see the stars as the souls of their ancestors watching over them. 

The star is a symbol of something much greater than ourselves because it has a connection with the very foundation of life, with the very beginnings of the universe, and how creation actually started. The mystery lies in how light came from darkness. In many traditions there was a blackness, a void, and from this void creation sprang. Stars and suns are widely seen to be part of this moment. The star signals a belief in the ability of something to come from nothing - a belief in miracles. A star is like saying 'yes' to life. It is like a positive affirmation, saying that you are always open to the unexpected.

    Great little holder

    Posted by John L on 7th Apr 2020

    For my first dabble into incense, I wanted to get something inexpensive in case I didn't like it. However this holder is all I can see that I would want! well crafted, nicely inlaid metalwork, perfect for my needs. My only comment is that you ned to make sure that the incense stick is lined up straight - I've had a line of ash very near the edge though it didn't quite spill over. But that's probably a newbie mistake on my part.
