Origin & Lore

Sandalwood is Santalum album, a tree of India and Southeast Asia. Its fragrant heartwood has been used in Hindu and Buddhist rites for thousands of years, ground into paste for anointing statues and the forehead. In magick it is a wood of consecration, spirituality and focus.

Sandalwood trees are partly parasitic: their roots tap into the roots of nearby plants to steal water and nutrients.

In India sandalwood paste is smeared on images of the gods and on the foreheads of worshippers. Mysore in southern India was famous for its sandalwood, and the trees became so valuable that their harvest was controlled by the state.
