About
The triple moon — waxing, full, and waning — is a beloved symbol of the divine feminine and the cycles of the moon, often seen on altar tools and ritual items. These tongs bring that symbolism to a genuinely practical tool: safely handling a hot charcoal disc without touching it directly. Pair them with pieces from our incense collection or other items for the home.
How to use it
Grip the charcoal disc firmly with the tong tips to hold it over a flame until it begins to spark, then set it into a heatproof incense burner. Use the same tongs to reposition lit incense or charcoal as needed during your ritual or burning session. Always burn on a heatproof surface, in a ventilated space, and never leave lit charcoal or incense unattended.
Care
Wipe the tongs clean with a dry cloth after each use, and let them cool fully before storing. Keep them dry between uses to prevent rust, and store away from children and pets, since the tips get hot during use.
