{"product_id":"large-sage-stick-heater-enamelled-strength","title":"Large Sage Stick Heater Enamelled - Strength","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bundle of dried sage rests along a black iron rail, lifted just clear of a dark wooden base. Beside it, a tea light burns in its own small recess, and below the rail sits the Strength tarot card, glossy and yellow under a clear enamelled finish. This is a holder made for the slow part of a ritual, the pause before you light anything at all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe sage stick sits suspended on a slim black metal frame, so it lies level and clear of the wood rather than propped awkwardly in a dish.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe tea light is set into a round black cup in the base, so a small flame stays close to the bundle without anything balanced on top of anything else.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Strength card is the visual anchor: a figure in white with a lion, set against a bright yellow ground with green and red around it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe enamelled surface over the card catches the light and gives the artwork a smooth, glassy depth against the grain of the wood.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe wood is a warm, dark brown with visible grain and a natural knot near one end, so the base looks like a piece of furniture, not a tray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWood, iron and enamel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a solid-looking block of dark wood with a smooth finish and a plain, squared profile. The black metal rail is simple and angular, with a short upright support at each end, and the tea light cup is set flush into the surface. Because the wood is natural, the grain and the knot will differ from one piece to the next. It is a practical shape, but it has the presence of an altar piece, something you leave out on a shelf or a table rather than put away.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLay the sage stick across the rail and light the tea light in the recess beside it. The metal frame keeps the bundle off the wood, which helps keep embers away from the surface. Always burn with care: keep it on a heat-safe, stable surface, never leave a flame unattended, and let everything cool fully before you move it. A dry cloth is enough to wipe the enamel clean once it has cooled.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy the Strength card\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tarot, Strength is traditionally pictured as a figure calmly meeting a lion, and it is usually read as a card about patience, gentle courage and quiet confidence rather than force. It is a fitting image for a space where you slow down, settle your breathing and give your attention to one small act. Having it set into the base means the symbolism is part of the object itself, in front of you each time you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and what's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe holder is a compact, low piece, roughly long enough to carry a large sage stick along its rail and wide enough to sit comfortably on a shelf, desk or altar table. It is shown here with a bundle of sage and a tea light for scale; check the listing for what is supplied with your order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA thoughtful gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits someone who reads tarot, keeps a small ritual corner at home, or simply likes objects that carry a meaning. The artwork gives it a personal feel, and it works as a gift for a birthday, a new home or a fresh start.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the sage stick come with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe photo shows a sage bundle on the holder for display.
