Brass on the Altar

Brass has long been a favored altar metal, prized because it does not tarnish easily and reflects candlelight brightly. A small, portable holder like this suits the practitioner who keeps a travel altar or likes to carry a flame from room to room, bringing a little warmth and light wherever a working calls for it.

How To Use

1. Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice.
3. Seat a mini candle in the cup and light it.
4. To carry a lit candle, hold the ring and move slowly. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
5. Let the brass cool, then lift away any wax and wipe it clean.
