Pentagram and Triple Moon Ash Catcher

This ash catcher carries two of the most loved symbols in witchcraft on a single tray: an interwoven pentagram that holds your stick of incense, and a long dish decorated with Celtic knotwork and the Goddess's triple moon. It is a working incense burner with a properly witchy face.

Set the stick in the woven star, light it, and let the smoke rise while the tray catches the ash, a small, soulful tool that anchors a protective, lunar altar.

About This Ash Catcher

An ash catcher holds a stick of incense at one end and catches the falling ash along its length, keeping your altar clean. Here the holder is shaped as a woven pentagram and the tray is cast with knotwork and the triple moon, so the piece works as both burner and altar decoration.

The Pentagram and the Triple Moon

The pentagram, the five-pointed star, is an ancient sign of protection and of the five elements in balance, and one of the great emblems of witchcraft. The triple moon, waxing, full, and waning, is the symbol of the Goddess in her Maiden, Mother, and Crone aspects, honoring the cycles of the moon, intuition, and feminine power. The Celtic knots that frame them speak of continuity and connection without end.

How To Use Your Ash Catcher

1. Set the burner on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from curtains, paper, and anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice. Moonlight suits its lunar symbols especially well.
3. Seat the bare end of a stick of incense in the woven pentagram and light the opposite tip.
4. Let the ash fall into the tray as the stick burns, and never leave burning incense unattended.
5. Let everything cool fully before clearing the ash and storing the burner.
