Folklore & History:

Palo Santo has been used for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples of the Andes, including the Inca civilisation, who considered it a sacred gift from the gods. Shamans and healers have long burned the wood in ceremonies to cleanse negative spirits, attract good fortune, and facilitate communication with the divine. The tree itself is considered mystical—it must die naturally and remain on the forest floor for several years before the wood develops its characteristic aromatic oils and spiritual potency. This natural death and transformation process is believed to imbue the wood with powerful healing energy. Spanish conquistadors named it 'Palo Santo' (Holy Wood) after witnessing its use in sacred rituals and recognising its spiritual significance. In traditional South American folk magic, Palo Santo smoke is believed to carry prayers to the heavens and create a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. The wood is also associated with the element of fire and is used to invoke clarity, inspiration, and divine protection. Today, Palo Santo continues to be honoured in spiritual practises worldwide as a tool for energetic cleansing and sacred space creation.
