Origin & Traditional Use

Charcoal tongs are metal tongs for lifting and placing hot charcoal tablets and resin in a censer or burner.

Uses in the Work

Use them to light and handle charcoal safely, to add resins and herbs during a long working without burning your fingers, and to move a burning petition into a bowl. Keeping tongs on the altar means you never have to interrupt a ritual to deal with fire.
