Sandalwood raises energetic vibrations to a higher and more intense level of spirituality. Used in many deity carvings, it is near impossible for negativity of any kind to exist when sandalwood is present. For meditation, it will help create a deeper connection with your higher power; in the home, sandalwood can clear negativity, calm family strife, and stop evil intent from entering. The ritual use of sandalwood brings protection and can conjure benevolent spirits; its use increases the power of any spell and initiates its success. A wonderful wishing herb, you can simply write your wish in the air with your incense wand, and it will be granted.
