✯ Sandalwood is a holy incense in India  and has always been burned for fragrance and in magical rites. In hoodoo it is particularly associated with wish-making and happy home spells. Sandalwood chips may be added to mojo bags for safety, peace, health, and wishes, and the essential oil makes a strong candle-dressing oil. Associated with Mercury rather than Venus. If I come back as a ghost then by the scent of sandalwood you will know I am near.
