Sandalwood Oil by Espiritu, 16oz

For meditation and spirit. Built around sandalwood, the classic wood of contemplation, purification, and high-vibration work.

Made for sacred space. Dress candles, anoint your altar and tools, or scent your meditation space. For skin, dilute in a carrier oil first.

A 16 ounce practitioner bottle. The most generous size for steady practice. Also offered as a 1 oz personal bottle and a 2 dram sampler.

• Volume: 16 fl oz (approximately 473 ml)
• Blend: sandalwood-inspired blended fragrance oil
• Use: ritual anointing of candles, tools, and altar items; dilute in a carrier oil for skin
• External use only. Not for ingestion. Keep out of reach of children.

This is a sandalwood-inspired blended fragrance oil rather than a single-note botanical extract. Dilute it in a carrier oil such as jojoba or grapeseed before any skin contact, and patch test first. Contact us with sensitivity questions before ordering.

Sandalwood has been treasured across the spiritual traditions of the world, burned in temples, ground into incense, and used to anoint the body for meditation and prayer. Scott Cunningham places it under the element of Water and the planet of the Moon, with powers spanning protection, purification, spirituality, and the granting of wishes. Its quiet, elevating character makes it a favorite for high-vibration and devotional work.

As a Water-and-Moon material, sandalwood lends itself to inward, contemplative magic: stilling the mind before meditation, purifying and consecrating a sacred space, raising the spiritual atmosphere of an altar, and carrying wishes upward on the smoke of intention. Dress a candle, anoint your space in dilution, or scent your meditation area as you turn toward the quiet and the sacred.

• Spellwork: Use it in workings for purification, enlightenment and protection.
• Dressing a candle: Rub a drop or two onto the candle before you light it, to add your intention to the working.
• Candles and wax melts: Stir it into melted wax when you make candles or wax melts.
• A petition or sigil: Dab it on a petition paper, or use it to draw a sigil.
• Spell bags and jars: Add a few drops to a spell bag, charm or jar.
• Anointing a crystal or tool: Touch a drop to a crystal, wand or other tool.
• Doorways and windowsills: Trace a drop along a doorframe or windowsill.
• Blessing a new tool: Anoint a new crystal, wand or candle holder before its first use.
• New or full moon rituals: Use it to dress your candle or anoint yourself during a moon working.
• Meditation: Warm a drop in your oil warmer, or wear a diluted dab, before you sit.
• Holidays and sabbats: Use it to dress candles for seasonal celebrations.
• Everyday scent: Warm it in an oil warmer, or wear it diluted, for the fragrance alone.
• On skin: Wear it as a personal scent or for a glamour. Dilute it in a carrier oil such as jojoba or grapeseed, and patch test a small spot first.
• In an oil warmer: Fill the warmer's dish mostly with water and add one drop for a lighter scent. Don't use it in an ultrasonic diffuser, which needs essential oils.
• As a gift: A small bottle goes a long way, since most uses take a drop or two.
• How much and how to store it: A drop or two is enough for most uses. Fragrance oils hold up well, so you can keep the bottle with your other supplies with the cap on tight.

1. Settle and breathe. Quiet the mind before you begin.
2. Dress a candle. White or purple; burn it safely, never left unattended.
3. Anoint your space. Or your tools and altar.
4. Wear it diluted. A drop in carrier oil, after a patch test.
5. Store cool and dark. To keep the blend at its best.

• Meditation Oil: deepen meditation.
• Copal Oil: temple-style cleansing.
• Orisha Obatalá Oil: cool, elevated, white-light spirit.
• Nag Champa Candle in Cauldron: raise sacred space.

Should I buy the 16oz, the 1 oz, or the 2 dram?

Choose by how often you work with it. The 1 oz suits steady personal practice and the 2 dram is a sampler. This 16oz bottle is for those who keep a steady meditation or devotional practice. The blend is identical.
