Three mango-wood mushrooms, one tall ivory candle, a grey calcite tower and six patterned stones: an arrangement for the weeks when the afternoons shorten and the light turns gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA small ritual\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear the surface first: take everything off and wipe it down. That is half of the change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup the three mushrooms to one side and stand the candle on a plate behind them. Set the calcite tower apart so the eye travels, and lay the stones along the grain where the sun reaches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt dusk, light one cone in the tallest mushroom, then the candle. Keep flame and smoke clear of curtains, and put both out before you leave the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree mango-wood mushrooms, 10, 9 and 8 cm, each with a small brass plate on the cap to hold a cone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA box of 12 'Sweet Frankincense' incense cones by Stamford, plant based and rolled by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne ivory pillar candle, 60 x 120 mm, about 38 hours of burning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne calcite tower, about 9 to 11 cm, raw on one side and polished on the others: grey and smoky brown, no two alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bag of 6 large picture jasper tumble stones, banded in ochre, russet, brown and grey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces arrive together in one parcel.

Jasper sits near 7, so keep the tower apart from the stones and it keeps its polish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67595382587706,"sku":"SHB-26SEA-02","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/bundle-autumn-the-turning-table-square.jpg?v=1790658307","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/turning-table-autumn-decor","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
