Occasionally I find myself out of the house - say, hypothetically, lurking in graveyards at 3am during the dark of the moon - in need of some aromatics, and a little burnt herb and tobacco don’t feel quite sufficient.
…And sometimes I want to burn incense in my work area, and I’m just extra as hell. A converted mint tin with a holder made out of a magnet, a bottle cap, and a bead; trimmed incense sticks partially wrapped in parchment paper to keep them neat, and a mini bic decorated with washi tape.
I also painted a little design on the lid because I wanted it to look nice, and to distinguish it at a glance from my other weird little boxes.
Ever wanted to have your very own cauldron but just don’t want to make a commitment that big?!? Does your landlord forbid giant metal/stone pots? Or do you just prefer ‘tiny’ spells and potions?!
Whatever your reason check this tiny stone cauldron out! Perfect for burning incense! Cone or lose leaf!
It’s a cute little bucket of curses that fits in your hand!
Tlemaitl is a Nahuatl word that refers to a horizontal incense burner. The expression means “fire hand”, since it was used as an extension of the penitent’s arm, so that they could offer fire directly to the Teteo.Thanks to archaeological examples found in sites such as the Huey Teocalli or Major Temple of Tenochtitlan, we know that some tlemaitl incense burners were also rattles. When shaken, they would simulate the crackling sound of the sacred flames.You can find examples of the ritual use of the tlemaitl in my paintings of Mayahuel and The Sacrifice of Xolotl. Prints are available in my Etsy store!
I have found the perfect setup for me to burn herbs! It holds them at just the right distance from the flame that they smoke but don’t light. No need to buy charcoal disks.
