Your wall-mounted home altar with backflow incense cone holder – where goddess power and earth connection flow – Item No.: SCH014

The altar arrives safely packaged in recycled cushioning material, measuring 18x11x8cm and weighing 1.3kg.

This wall-mounted shrine is a serene work of art made of clay, created for moments of spirituality, meditation, or gratitude. At its center sits a goddess figure with an integrated backflow incense cone holder, framed by a luminous rock crystal disc harmoniously set into the back of the altar.

An altar that tells stories
The goddess as mediator: This clay figure combines soft, archetypal features with a functional backflow incense burner in her heart area. Light a cone and watch as the smoke flows downwards through her body – a connection between heaven and earth.

Rock crystal disc in the background: The large, naturally polished disc is firmly anchored in the clay back panel. It reflects the light, amplifies intentions, and serves as a symbolic mirror for clarity or dreams.

Handcrafted simplicity: Every stroke of the traditional smoke-firing art, every gentle irregularity in the clay underlines the earthiness of this altar.

How to fill the shrine with life
Wall mounting with meaning: Choose a place that gives you strength – whether above your meditation cushion, in the bedroom, or at the entrance. The altar is both subtle and powerful.

Rituals with the Goddess: Use the integrated incense holder for your ceremonies. The downward-flowing smoke grounds your wishes in the here and now.

To activate the rock crystal disc: Place small offerings (leaves, stones, written words) in front of it or use it as a focal point during meditation.

Craftsmanship with depth
Clay & Fire: The altar's patterns are created using smoke firing – an ancient technique in which fire inscribes its marks on the material. The dark nuances emphasize the femininity of the goddess.

Symbolism of matriarchy: The figure represents fertility, creation, and the power of nourishment. The round rock crystal disc is a reminder of the cycle of life and clarity of mind.

For whom is this altar?
For all those who wish to create a sacred space without sacrificing space.

For rituals of self-love, letting go, or connecting with primal feminine power.

For those who appreciate the magic of matriarchy and earthy craftsmanship.

Handmade with Sacred Intention
Each of my pieces is lovingly handcrafted and ritually transformed in fire. The "traces" of the firing – cracks, ash contours, uneven surfaces – are not flaws, but rather evidence of a process that demands self-respect and respect for the material.

I am happy to implement commissioned work or my own ideas for a specific piece of work, provided it is compatible with my way of working.
Feel free to contact me about this.
