Vintage pewter oil lamps, made around the 1950's in the dutch pewter industries. These tin lamps have the brandmark 'Angel with trumpet' on the bottom. A beautiful piece to connect your altar and daily spiritual practice with your dutch ancestors or heritage.
These oil lamps will be just perfect to burn your ghee in. The use of high quality butter and ghee (as an even more outstanding derivative from butter) as an offering to the benevolent spirits is something that can be found in rituals all over the Eurasian continent. For many centuries in the past and up until this very day, it is for example used as a food-offering for spirit dolls and other eeren, and of course burned in oil-lamps on altars for all kinds of (daily) rituals.
Also in the tradition of Spirit of Wolf, the use of ghee as an offering is a very important one. It is for example the special offering to the Mother of Fire. When we hold rituals, or work with clients, there's always a little ghee lamp burning on the altar or table to honor her and other spirits.
