Sandalwood has been burned as sacred incense across Asia for thousands of years, valued in Hindu and Buddhist practice alike for stilling the mind and lifting prayer. Scott Cunningham ties sandalwood to the Moon and the element of Water, listing spirituality, healing, and protection among its powers. Its warm, grounding scent is reached for to settle a space and quiet the thoughts before meditation or devotion. The incense does not act on its own; it grounds and settles the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to ground a room, deepen meditation, or set a calm, prayerful mood.

• Clearing a room: Burn it after an argument, after guests leave, or whenever a room feels heavy.
• Blessing a new home: Walk a lit stick through each room on move-in day, starting at the front door.
• Spellwork: Burn it during workings for protection, purification, cleansing and enlightenment.
• Prayer: Burn it while you pray.
• Holidays and sabbats: Burn it during seasonal celebrations and rituals.
• Morning routine: Light it while you get ready to start the day.
• Winding down at night: Burn it in the evening while you settle in, and put it out before bed.
• As a gift: Add a stick holder so it's ready to burn.
• How to burn it: Set it in a stick holder, in a bowl of sand, salt or rice, or in a cauldron with sand. Let it burn down, or put it out partway if you only need a little. Burn times differ by brand.

If smoke or strong scents bother anyone in your home, burn it near an open window.

1. Set the stick in a holder. Place it in a heat-safe incense holder or ash catcher that will catch the falling ash.
2. Light the tip. Light the coated tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the ember smolders.
3. Ground the space. As the warm sandalwood scent fills the room, settle your breath and name the calm or focus you are inviting.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, let the ash cool fully before disposing, and never leave burning incense unattended.
