Ritual Uses

The Wood is used as fuel in sacred fires in India, and is also used in building temples.
Magickal Uses

A sprig of the tree placed over the bed wards off evil, as it does when tucked into the turban in Eastern countries.

When the wood is burned with Sandalwood, the psychic powers are stimulated.

Acacia is also used in money and love spells, although in the latter case the outcome would be a platonic love.

Specific Uses

Burn with Sandalwood during meditation to seek illumination and to develop the psychic powers. Carry the wood as a protection amulet.

Used in Offeratory incenses as well as in certain incenses to stimulate the psychic centers.

Also used in Dianic Rituals.
