LUNORA TEALIGHT INCENSE HEATER
$35.00
Tealight incense heaters are great way to enjoy incense in the warmth of a flickering, candle-lit ambience. Lunora is the highest quality tealight heater that I have ever been able to offer. Made of golden brass, iron painted jet black with an Acacia wood screw the construction is both sturdy and beautiful. Very important for my blends is that the incense cup on the “Lunora” tealight incense heater is fully adjustable. I often combine ingredients from hot countries such as Frankincense Sandalwood and Myrrh with ingredients from the Boreal Forest such as Balsam Fir, Spruce and Poplar Buds. I find that most botanicals from hot countries volatize at a higher temperature than botanicals from the Northern Forest. By adjusting the height of the incense cup you can position it for optimal temperature for a blend. I have a suggested temperature written in the inside cover of the boxes for each of my blends.
Inspiration for the name “Lunora”
Moonlight dancing with the fragrance of incense has an ancient association. Historically, the worship of the moon cycle and moon deities was worldwide and still takes place in modern times. Many myths relate that the Moon is reborn out of its own substance, and so is itself the god or goddess of birth and rebirth. The crescent of the Moon was widely believed to be a cup which held the waters of the ambrosial nectar of immortal life, out of which the Moon renewed itself. The life-giving waters that fell to Earth as dew and rain and spread across the Earth as seas whose tides waxed and waned to the rhythms of the Moon. When the moon waxed, moisture on Earth below also waxes. Resins ooze and saps rise and fall in a lunar rhythm. Plants are thought to be at their juiciest in the waxing while during the waning they are drier. To moon worshipers, plant resins and juices are seen as the concentration of lunar energy. Smelling or eating them is considered to partake of the divine essence of the Moon.

HOW TO USE AN ELECTRIC INCENSE BURNER
For use outside North America, you may need a voltage and/or plug adapter
By using an electric incense heater, unlike charcoal for burning incense, you have control over the heat level which allows you to maintain a smoke free experience. If you want to fumigate, all you need to do is turn up the temperature until the incense begins to smoke. This allows you to fine tune the temperature for a particular blend and therefore you will receive the greatest benefit, scent, and subtle aroma from fine natural ingredients with very little smoke. It lets the incense gently warm up and release its scent.
Electric incense burners are designed for a wide range of fragrant materials. Using incense on an electric burner produces NO smoke and diffuses a far more complex and nuanced fragrance than burning incense on a charcoal. For this reason, Master perfumer Mandy Aftel uses and recommends electric incense burners in her book “Fragrant: The Secret Life of Scent”. If you do want to fumigate with smoke for a particular occasion, all you have to do is turn the heater temperature up until the incense starts to smoke.
The heaters are equipped with adjustable thermostat that has a temperature range from 50-250˚C. Some have a timer. The heater is suitable for tender dried flower petals to precious agar wood and is perfect for fine incense blends that contain a wide variety of fragrant materials. It can also diffuse essential oils, raw resins, neri-koh incense, incense powders, candle melts and fragrant oils. The ceramic housings are specially designed to withstand the highest temperature setting and will never crack from heat exhaustion.
The heaters’ forms, and decorations are based on classic incense burner designs that are not only pleasing the eye but into which are woven spiritual meanings that are a perfect accompaniment to meditation, ritual or to allow the spiritual into everyday life.
HOW TO USE AN ELECTRIC INCENSE BURNER
1- Place a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper on the heating surface to hold the incense. Do not use the small saucers included with the burner, they are for essential oils. Do not put the incense directly on the heating surface because the incense will stick to the surface and it is almost impossible to completely clean off the incense residue. For essential oils, just fill the metal pan with water and add a few drops of oil. Note that it may take a minute or two for the scent to begin to be released.
2-Connect and adjust the burner temperature to the desired setting. A red light will come on. If the burner has a timer, click through, the light will advance, to the desired length of time, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h.
3- Place the incense on the paper, with the small spoon supplied with the burner. Leave the incense on the burner until the fragrance is fully released or the incense turns a darker color. You can turn off the burner at any time and reuse the incense until no more fragrance is released.
4- If the burner includes a base, always ensure that the burner rests on its base before use.
5- Keeping the lid on the burner keeps the heat constant and releases fragrances for longer. For larger rooms, it may be necessary to remove the lid.
