It has a long history of use in the spiritual practices of both the East and West. Sandalwood trees can take up to 80 years to reach full maturity. The concentration of scent in the heartwood increases as the tree ages. Trees that are planted today will not reach their aromatic peak for two generations. Sandalwood has a calming, sedative effect and aids in meditation. In ritual formulas, it is used for purification, consecration, relaxation, and peace. In many traditions of modern Paganism, it is associated with healing and purification, as well as business and protection magic. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
