Sandalwood (Red) - Sacred Wood of Power and Protection

Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) has been treasured for millennia across spiritual traditions, from ancient Ayurvedic practices to Buddhist ceremonies. This aromatic heartwood, distinct from its white counterpart, carries a rich legacy of mystical power and sacred reverence.

In hoodoo tradition, Red Sandalwood is a powerhouse ingredient for protection, wish-granting, and spiritual cleansing. Rootworkers have long relied on its potent energy to create protective sachets, dress candles for manifesting desires, and add strength to spell work. Its natural properties make it ideal for blessing rituals, attracting positive influences, and warding off negative energy.

Burn Red Sandalwood as incense to purify your sacred space and elevate spiritual vibrations. Add it to mojo bags for protection and luck. Create powerful infusions for anointing candles or ritual bathing. Many practitioners also use it in altar work to honor ancestors and strengthen spiritual connections.

Whether you're an experienced rootworker or just beginning your spiritual journey, Red Sandalwood's versatile nature makes it an essential addition to your conjure cabinet. Its warm, earthy essence brings both power and peace to any working.
