MORE ABOUT THE “ILLUMINATED CAULDRON” INCENSE BURNER
The use of a cauldron to represent cooking and magic is ancient. The simple round shapes, supported by legs, can be found all over the world, in prehistoric sites. Cauldrons have a transformative power that makes them used as symbols of earthly and spiritual power. In mythology, cauldrons contain concoctions leading to enlightenment. In modern pagan cultures, cauldrons symbolize goddesses and the womb. The ancient Chinese cauldron is called a “ding” and is associated with power and earthly domination.
The “Illuminated Cauldron” is shaped like the ancient prehistoric ding. It is one of the most important objects in Taoist ritual. Over time, ding came to mean literally “to decide and stabilize”. ” In Chinese Buddhist texts, early scholars used ding to translate the word “samadhi” which in Sanskrit means “deep meditative contemplation”. Finally, ding came to imply “intentional contemplation” or “perfect absorption”.
The pattern of holes on the ceramic lattice of the “Illuminated Cauldron” symbolically signify the birth of all things at the intersection of heaven and earth.

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.
