Incense Cones
Originated in Japan in the 19th Century, incense cones are the easiest and most low-maintenance to burn. Our incense cones are hand-shaped, and have a thick enough base to make them stand on their own. That makes them very easily portable and enables them to burn on any heat and fire proof surface, without the need for any special tools or dishes. You can even burn them outdoors on the ground.
Ayala Moriel makes two types of incense cones: Smudging Incense Cones, which are primarily made from herbs, with focus on a single element that is traditionally using fro smudging ceremonies and produces a similar scent for a continuous 10-15 minutes; as well as more sophisticated incense creations, as offered with our incense sticks and Agarbatti, which are simply a different shape, but produce more smoke (as cones are much thicker than sticks). These cones are a perfect solution for when you're traveling, or for beginner incense afficianado, as it does not require any special equipment to burn.
To use incense cones: Place the cone on its base, so that it stands straight on a heat-proof surface. You may use a designated vessel, or any heat-proof container that you don't mind getting a burn-mark (the cone will leave a circle of the burnt plant matter and some ash ones its been exhausted). A bowl filled with sand or earth, or a coin placed on a ceramic tile or plate will do.
Light the cone with a match or a lighter, and blow it off to allow the ember to slowly progress down the cone. Enjoy!

Triple Goddess Incense Cones
$39.00
Visit product page →Triple Goddess incense cones were handcrafted with reverence to all phases of the moon, and all facets of womanhood - Maiden/Mother/Crone, the birth, pregnancy and softening of the age of wisdom. This incense is created with women's healing in mind, for all stages of life, but especially for times of transition, large and small - be it birth, loss or the monthly bleeding time.
Triple Goddess incense cones were conceived on a a Full Moon Monday and are infused with energy that is meant to aid and assist women and girls during the time of bleeding and any other challenges faced by Womanity.
Incense resins of the three colours representing the Life-Death-Life cycle were chosen lovingly for this blend: Frankincense and White Copal for the Maiden; Dragon's Blood for Motherhood, Bleeding and the "Fertile" years; and Black Copal, Bdellium and Myrrh for the wisdom of the Crone. These were all manually ground with mortar and pestle, and mixed with finely powdered red and white sandalwood for an even burn of mysteriously fragrant smoke.* This incense is also available in a loose-incense, resin-based blend, in which all these colours are visible.
Incense cones, hand-rolled in the traditional Asian style, made from botanicals that were finely ground on location and artfully blended. No saltpetre or charcoal used in these cones. Cones are generally faster burning than a thick joss stick (range of burning time may be from 7-15min, and produce more smoke. They are more convenient to burn while traveling and outdoors, and they stand on their own base, and therefore don't really require special equipment or vessels.Burning instruction: Prepare a heat-proof vessel, on a sturdy surface away from flammables and out of reach of children and animals. To prevent scorch marks, it is recommended that you layer some sand, earth or ash on the vessel. Place the cone and light the tip of it, and allow the flame to extinguish. Because these are handmade cones, each has a different burning times.
