Mango wood incense stick and cone holder, with Tourmaline

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (both thin and thick sticks). 

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Mango Wood + Brass

Physical benefits

Black tourmaline works very well on a physical level, as its vibrations are in line with those of the first chakra. You can work on the back, the spine, but also the ankles. Useful in cases of tired muscles.

It strengthens the immune system and has a positive effect on intestinal problems, such as constipation, of course, but also irritable bowel syndrome. It is particularly useful for the brain because it balances the hemispheres, the right and the left.

In summary, it is useful for: back pain, spine problems, muscle fatigue, immune system, intestinal problems, hemisphere balancing.

Mental benefits

Use black tourmaline if you suffer from panic attacks and are working hard on yourself. It helps control all kinds of fear; in this case, my suggestion is to wear it and keep it close to your body.

As I mentioned before, black tourmaline is excellent for protecting you from the electromagnetic radiation of the PC. To obtain this beneficial effect, keep it on your desk next to you. In this way, you enjoy a double benefit: besides acting as a shield, it keeps your mind always active and helps you concentrate.

Wear black tourmaline if you want to learn to manage anger, free yourself from negative thoughts, but also from substance abuse. For anxious people, it is ideal because it frees you from all those chronic worries that prevent you from living life freely and carefree.

These mental poisons are instead replaced by a much clearer and more neutral thought, capable of seeing things for what they are and tackling one problem at a time.

In summary, it is useful for: panic attacks, protecting yourself from electromagnetic waves, activating the mind, anger management, controlling substance abuse, warding off worries, bringing clear thinking.

Spiritual benefits

It is used by shamans to obtain protection during rituals performed to search for the spiritual causes of a problem. You can use it today in protection and purification rituals. Wear it if you realize that many of the people close to you, from whom unfortunately you cannot distance yourself (for example, neighbors), suck away a lot of your energy. It is a good way to shield yourself from them.

Thanks to black tourmaline, you can bring clarity to your lives and promote your light, keep yourself spiritually open and alive, open to the universe and its changes. You can use it to remove blocks in the aura, for example, but also to draw out negative energies.

In summary, it is useful for: protection stone, purifies the environment, energy shield, ignites enthusiasm, promotes inner light, removes aura blocks.

Benefits for the first chakra

Place it on the first chakra when you feel down, almost lethargic. You no longer feel enthusiasm for anything and no longer perceive any stimulation. This means that Muladhara is blocked. You can use it with great results both in crystal therapy sessions, by wearing it in contact, or by using it during grounding.

Mango wood holder for incense sticks and cones, with Rose Quartz

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (both thin and thick sticks). 

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Mango wood + Brass

Benefits for the body

Rose Quartz relieves heart ailments, regulates the circulatory system and lowers high blood pressure. As pink is a soothing colour, it combats stress, agitation, depression, insomnia and physical and mental fatigue.

Benefits for the mind

Rose Quartz works on the mind, helping people accept even the most difficult changes, especially those resulting from a separation from a loved one: it provides comfort and helps them open themselves to love, despite past suffering.

It helps people love without fear and relieves the pain of unrequited love, dispelling feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem. Its energy is among the most relaxing and promotes empathy, reconciliation and forgiveness. It reduces stress and tension in the heart, eliminating anger, jealousy, envy and resentment towards those who have caused us pain.

It is the stone of forgiveness: forgiving ourselves for past mistakes and forgiving others who have caused us pain. In this way, it helps us thoroughly examine the reasons behind such wrongdoings, accept and forgive them completely, and thus leave them behind us

Benefits for the spirit

Rose Quartz promotes a profound emotional purification, helping to release the limitations that prevent personal growth and, therefore, happiness. Unexpressed emotions often block positive changes, and over time this can even lead to physical problems.

They block spiritual experiences and self-awareness, and Rose Quartz is the cure: initially, it helps bring old and forgotten emotions (fear, anger, pain, etc.) to the surface from deep within, and then encourages people to express these feelings, resolving and releasing them once and for all. It stimulates openness of heart, generosity, helpfulness and a positive attitude towards life.

It is therefore a stone that opens us to the most beautiful feelings, such as love, understanding, acceptance and gentleness. It is the stone that nourishes all the emotions that pass through the heart.

Mango wood incense stick and cone holder, with Pentacle

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (both thin and thick sticks). 

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Mango Wood + Brass

The Meaning of the Pentagram or Pentacle

The Pentacle, also known as the Pentagram, Pentalpha, Star of the Microcosm, Five-Pointed Star, or Star of Initiation, represents the regular star pentagon.

Symbolism of the Pentagram

The Pentacle was widely used as a sacred symbol in the practice of cults related to Venus.

Due to its simplicity of construction, which is achieved using a single continuous interwoven line, the Pythagoreans attributed to it a mystical meaning of perfection.

The Pentacle is an ancient symbol that takes on several meanings.

For the ancient Egyptians, it represented the image of Horus and embodied the prima materia, the sacred Fire, that is to say, an inexhaustible source of life that contained the universal germ of all earthly beings.

In other words, we can define the Pentacle as the ultimate symbol of man in relation to the microcosm. In medieval times, we find the symbol of the Pentacle on the first pages of several manuscripts.

It was believed, in fact, that by marking these pages with a Pentacle, the work would have greater chances of success. Furthermore, it was believed that by doing so, one would have absolute dominion over the spirits of nature.

Since time immemorial, the Pentacle has been considered an energy catalyst. According to magical tradition, the Pentacle is able to give strength to the person who wears it. It amplifies their genius while attenuating their primal instincts.

For Pythagoras and his disciples, the Pentacle or Pentagram was a sacred symbol. It expressed the harmony between body and soul, and on this basis, it became the sign of health. In the West, the Pentagram is nevertheless an ancient symbol. It is found, among other things, in Etruscan ceramic works.

The Pentagram and the Number Five

The number Five, the essence of the Pentacle, is traced back to the number of elements, the spiritual quintessence (the purely immaterial element of the spirit of the world) and the four usual elements (Water, Fire, Earth, and Air).

The pentagram is also called the Druids' foot.

It is drawn with a line that goes from the top point to the lower left point and serves as an invocation in the pentagram ritual; if, instead, one proceeds from the lower left point upwards, then it serves as a ritual for a spell.

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (both thin and thick sticks). 

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Papri wood (Indian elm)+ Copper

The pentacle, formed by a star usually enclosed in a circle, represents creation, that is, the interaction between the microcosm and the macrocosm.

The circle represents continuity, eternity, and infinity, while the five points symbolize the five elements, or the sum of all forces present in the cosmos: starting from the first point at the bottom left and proceeding clockwise, we find Earth, the solid state of matter; Air, the gaseous state; Spirit, the ether that permeates everything; Water, the liquid state; and finally Fire, energy.

These elements are found both inside and outside of man and must be in harmony with each other so that the human being can find their balance; each point is a higher stage of awareness to be achieved.

Incense sticks and cone holder in Papri wood, with Om symbol.

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (thinner and thicker sticks).

Om, the Sacred Syllable, is a Sanskrit term that already appears in the Vedas (the sacred texts of the Aryans) from the 20th century BC onwards and perhaps much earlier.

The symbol represents the Creation of the Universe and the sound of Om is associated with the Primordial Vibration of the Universe itself and of all Creation.

Mango wood incense stick and cone holder, with Tiger's Eye

Suitable for burning Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan incense cones and sticks (both thin and thick sticks). 

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Mango Wood + Brass

Benefits for the mind

Wearing Tiger's Eye regularly helps alleviate panic and anxiety. It is therefore perfect for people who quickly fall victim to nervousness and are no longer able to see things clearly.

Some of the benefits of Tiger's Eye for the mind are:

It provides mental clarity, helping you decide more decisively which path to take.

The person wearing it will feel much more self-confident and full of strength.

Tiger's Eye is also known as the "stone of willpower". For this reason, it aligns perfectly with the energy of the third chakra. The person wearing it realizes that they must take responsibility for their actions.

It stimulates a sense of stability and practicality. It helps you become more responsive when the occasion calls for it.

Benefits for the body

Tiger's Eye is believed to help relieve pain. By balancing the flow of energy, it gives the body a sense of relaxation that helps soothe the nerves. It is particularly useful for headaches and benefits the liver, stomach, intestines, and spleen. It is also used to relieve symptoms of respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, and colds.

Benefits for the spirit

We hear so much about Kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, the dormant divine energy in Muladhara (the first chakra). According to some, Tiger's Eye promotes the awakening of this energy. I would say instead that it can support a process of personal growth and introspection that may span many years. A mineral alone is certainly not enough to awaken divine energy, which, as it rises along Sushumna—the body's main energy channel, corresponding physically to the spine—leads to enlightenment.

Tiger's Eye stimulates the deepest desires. All in all, it is one of the best stones for meditation. Its golden reflections vibrate with the higher chakras and help you connect with the divine, experiencing a sense of unconditional love. Desires will then no longer seem unattainable, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. It is a stone that brings abundance to every area of life.

Mango wood incense burner with a copper lotus symbol.

Suitable for use with cone incense and incense sticks, such as Indian and Japanese varieties.

Dimensions: 10 cm

Material: Mango Wood+ Copper

For Buddhists, the meaning of the Lotus Flower is linked to the concept of purity of the soul and body, a symbol of spiritual elevation derived from the fact that the roots of the Lotus Flower, although sinking its roots in the mud, is able to remain pure and untainted, and to prosper even in adverse conditions. Not only that, its peculiarity of opening its corolla during the day and closing at night symbolizes regeneration and vital force.

According to an Asian legend, when the little Buddha began to walk, Lotus Flowers began to grow in all the places he passed. Being associated with the figure of the Buddha, the Lotus Flower is therefore considered a sacred flower.

For Hindus, the Lotus Flower is associated with the idea of well-being. This plant has also inspired a yoga pose, the so-called “lotus pose,” linked precisely to the concept of meditation and consisting of assuming a cross-legged position with the hands on the knees.

In general, in almost all Asian religions, almost all deities are depicted meditating, sitting on a Lotus Flower.
