Alonas de Barro are essential tools in many spiritual traditions, particularly in Santeria, Palo, and other Afro-Caribbean practices. These clay burners safely contain hot charcoal while you burn sacred resins like copal, frankincense, and myrrh, or loose herbs for cleansing, blessing, and ritual work. The natural clay material connects your practice to earth energy while providing a safe, traditional vessel for your incense offerings.

Perfect For

• Burning charcoal discs and loose incense

• Purification and blessing rituals
• Burning sacred resins and herbs
• Daily spiritual practice and meditation

How to Use

Place your alona on a heat-safe surface or altar. Light a charcoal disc and carefully place it in the burner. Once the charcoal is glowing, add your chosen incense, resin, or herbs on top. The clay vessel will safely contain the heat while allowing the sacred smoke to rise, carrying your prayers and intentions to the spiritual realm.

Always use on a heat-resistant surface and never leave burning incense unattended. Allow to cool completely before handling.
