White Sandalwood (Santalum album) is a sacred wood used for centuries in the religious traditions of India and several other regions of Asia. Ground into powder, made into a paste or burned for its fragrance, it plays an important role in offerings to deities, prayer, meditation and consecration ceremonies. It also features in Buddhist practices, particularly religious and commemorative ceremonies.
In ritual preparations, white sandalwood accompanies workings involving meditation, contemplation, purification and consecration. Its fragrance may be used to prepare a space before a ritual, accompany an offering or enhance a blend for prayer and spiritual practice.
In Western magical correspondences, white sandalwood is also associated with the Moon and is included in incense blends intended for workings under its influence. It therefore has a natural place in fumigations and preparations for lunar rituals.
Selected and packaged ready for resale, white sandalwood is an essential product for specialist shops seeking ritual materials for meditation, offerings, consecration and lunar magic practices.
