The censer or incense burner in neo-pagan witchcraft is used for burning incense, herbs, wood and other substances, to cleanse and purify the air before rituals. Censing, which represents the element of air, exorcises and keeps unwanted energies away from the magic site; offers sweet air to the God and Goddess; raises vibrational rates and summons energies; relaxes the senses; and contains and concentrates power. The act of burning incense or other substances is also known as carrying our wishes up to the God and Goddess.

Maidens receive this carved wood or clay image at the age of first menstruation from an elder mentor; this ceremony means that she is welcomed into her motherhood role in the tribe. In Togo, a giant Acua'ba image always proceeds the chief in tribal procession, signifying that the mother, and reverence for nature, are the foremost communal values. 2 inches wide, 3.5 inches long, 2.25 inches tall. Includes a removable holder for a small size taper candle or stick incense. With the holder removed, it is designed to burn a charcoal disc, cone incense or a votive candle.
