Five variants of the Hinduistic elephant-headed god Ganesha, in brass, 6, 7 & 8 cm respectively. Ganesh is the god of everything new, new ways, paths, projects, etc. He is therefore always called first before other gods are called where he acts as a door opener and mediator. He is also the remover of obstacles and helps the one who calls him to manifest his higher will.
Some aromatic plants and products may have a historical use of folkloric nature, but we offer this product as incense and/or botanical curiosa; neither food grade, for consumption nor medical use, unless other is stated. This means that you should contact your doctor even though, for example, frankincense have been used during the Middle Ages as a remedy for bubonic plague. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from children and animals. The snuffs containing tobacco should be used moderately and not daily since tobacco is addictive. The long-term use of tobacco snuff is unknown and should therefore be used with this in mind.

Ganesh statue in brass, three varieties, India
The statues are cast in brass and are rich in details despite their size of 6, 7, and 8 cm respectively. A statue of Ganesh on the altar is appropriate for coming into contact with and reminding of the power that Ganesh represents. Since Ganesh is a grateful and earthly deity to work with, these statues can be advantageously placed in, for example, the home or at work. Yes, wherever there's needed some more Ganesh vibe.
Ganesh is an extremely easy force to come into contact with. By using his mantra; sacrifice of fruit and nuts to the statue on the altar, and contemplate the symbolic attributes and stories of the god, Ganesh soon opens the gates of the caller, and elephants with heartwarming and luscious messages begin to manifest in the magicians reality. Ganesh is linked to knowledge / learning and to children. Ganesh shows the one who calls him the inner child, who curiously and innocently observes and acts in his surroundings. Through the eyes of the child, old structures and conceptions fall, to be seen from a new and broader perspective. Ganesh's power is easy-going, relaxed and whimsical, helping us release and open up for all that the existential adventure has to offer us.
He is sometimes called Remover of Obstacles, but a better name is the master of the obstacles. What can be understood is that he partly manages the obstacles and can help the one who calls him to get rid of his/her obstacle, but can also obstruct the path to show when traveled in the wrong direction.
Ganesh is a great power to seek refuge to when the experience of reality is difficult to handle. He is the god who sends out his symbolic trunk with a symbolic red umbrella in a symbolic rainstorm, where you can get symbolic protection and stay dry. Speaking of red, Ganesh is strongly linked to Muladhara, the root chakra. This is why Ganesh is the most common household god in Hinduism, helping his devotees to manifest what is needed for everyday life. A given number to have on speed dial in ones meta-galactic phone. The number/mantra is:
OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAHA
Idols themselves are not holy but intend for us to get in touch with the power behind the imagery, a force transcending time, space, form and concept. Once we have found the power behind, however, the images of the god often serve as a focus for reminding and continuing to maintain contact with the power. But the power itself can be found in anything. An ingenious expression of the power is Baloo of the Jungel Book and his song "Bear Necessities", which of course can be linked to the root chakra and the basal needs. The casual and happy-eyed bear's relaxed attitude and willingness to fool around and teach the young Mowgli is a perfect manifestation of the power.
