Red Sandalwood has been valued for centuries for the qualities it possessing for carving, medical, and spiritual purposes. Buddhists sometimes consider it akin to the lotus, and use it to transform desire and maintain alertness during meditation. They also use it as a popular offering to the Buddha.
Within the Zoroastrian faith, sandalwood is offered to the three grades of fire, and use in this way as a most sacred offering. In modern spiritual practices, this has perhaps evolved to leave red sandalwood used often in rituals and spells of healing and purification. It is still often used in meditation, and is generally considered to enhance magical work in general. This is a (1)oz packet of cut Red Sandalwood.
