Associated with Mercury rather than Venus, as red sandalwood is, the fragrant wood of this tree is one of the most loved scents in the world. It is added to funeral pyres as a sign of a respect and used in Western magick in many ways. The powder makes a great base for incense mixtures or even sachets because Mercury combines well with everything; the chips smell good on their own. This sandalwood is much more complex and richer in scent than the typical stuff from India. Unfortunately, the price of real white sandalwood (not Australian sandalwood) has been steadily rising as it becomes rarer. |
