Carved from natural soapstone and finished by hand, the Soapstone Pentagram Oil Burner pairs a five-pointed pentagram — a symbol long used in Pagan and Wiccan practice — with a genuinely functional tealight oil burner. Standing approximately 4 inches tall, it's sized for an altar, a windowsill, or anywhere else a small, symbolic piece makes sense.
Soapstone conducts heat slowly and evenly, which works in the burner's favor: once a tealight is lit underneath, the stone warms gradually and holds that warmth steadily rather than heating unevenly the way a thinner material might. Fill the top dish with water and 3–5 drops of essential oil from our Essential Oil collection, or a scent blend from Fragrance Oil, and let the tealight do the rest.
Because it's hand-carved from natural stone, no two pieces are perfectly identical — slight variation in color and surface texture is normal and is part of what makes each one genuinely handmade rather than mass-produced. It suits everyday aromatherapy as easily as it suits a dedicated altar setup, and its compact size means it doesn't need to dominate a shelf to hold its place there.
As with any tealight burner, the pentagram carving is decorative and symbolic rather than something that changes how the piece functions — it diffuses oil exactly the way any tealight burner does, warming your chosen scent gradually through the room. For anyone drawn to the design specifically for what it represents, this is a straightforward, honestly-made piece rather than one that overstates what a carved stone can do on its own. It also works simply as a small decorative object for anyone who appreciates the symbol without any particular practice attached to it.
