This wood is rugged and robust. The acacia tree wood is about as solid and sturdy as the black walnut wood is, if not stronger but will burn instead of exploding or just split when lightning hits it. The flower heads were used to make makeup. I will discuss these properties throughout the herbal article.

ORIGINS/HISTORY
The acacia tree grows in a broad range of areas. They are seen growing in Ethiopia, India, Afghanistan, South Africa, Iran, Angolia, East Africa, Arabia, and the Nile. These areas are dry and semi-dry desert-like areas, so the trees act as shading for the workers, animals, and homes for the birds. The acacia tree dates back to ancient Egyptian times and has been used since 2650 BC for multiple things, which are listed in the article. Ancient Egyptians would use acacia tree wood to make many hand-made tools and necessities to make daily life a little easier. They made wheels, homes, tools, makeup, and ink. The Egyptians would make wreaths with acacia leaves for funerals. The Hebrews would plant the evergreen spring to mark a gravesite of a friend or family member that passed away. The Egyptian gods honor the acacia tree because they believed this is where the first known gods were born, right under the Heliopolis branches. The stern of the celestial boat of Ra is sentimental to the goddess Isis because it was made of the acacia tree. The ancient Egyptians used the Nile acacia for communicating with the gods. The god they have for the acacia tree is Osiris, who they as their spiritual guide and legend. Osiris was the first god born under the acacia tree and believed to be the spirit in all acacia trees.

HORTICULTURE
The roots are so thick and robust they stem down in the ground to the top of the water in the ground. The acacia tree is very environmentally important to nature. It is from an Indigenous family.
It has a hard rustic brown bark with feather-like leaves and bright yellow flower heads up to 6 inches long. The bark is collected at seven years old and older, then it is matured for one year. They can get up to 70 feet tall and have up to 1,200 species of acacia flowering trees and bushes. They help to nourish the soil by fixing the nitrogen in the ground, and air then restores any fertility for more plant growth.

CULINARY
Acacia is used in foods and beverages because it acts as a stabilizer or bonding agent for a food or beverage. It adds a floral flavor and aroma to the foods and beverages. The only part of the acacia that can be eaten is the flower. You can even eat it raw right off the bush, which is highly recommended for people to try.

MEDICINAL
The tree gum was used to soak gauze for wrapping mummies. The Egyptians used it to tighten loose teeth and make antiseptics. Most of the herbalists in the United States hardly ever use acacia for the infestation of parasites, although it is used regularly in other countries. Several countries still use the acacia tree for medicinal purposes. The deep dark rustic brown bark is used for decoction. It is a base ingredient for cough drops for a sore throat and inflammation, mouth sores such as mouth ulcers, binding skin back together at the tissues, and soothe the tender tissue in the mouth. Other countries still use the acacia tree for medicinal purposes. The majority of people in the US do not use herbal remedies anymore. The acacia pods, leaves, and flowers are used to make a lotion to be used on the skin to remove worms from under the skin, stop bleeding, stop coughing up blood, and tighten up mucous membranes. Witch hazel can do the same thing for mucous membranes. The flowers and leaves of the acacia tree are made into a sedative. It is also used for diuretics, hemostatic, antiseptics, anti-inflammatories, lotions for bleeding gums, mouth gargles to calm sore throats, scrubs for eczema, wounds, eyewashes, conjunctivitis, sanitary flush, and several other useful things.

MAGICKAL USES/HOW TO’S
Each tree has different properties but generally has the same magical properties and is usually used for the same purposes and intentions, for magickal workings. The Egyptians would rub boxes and chests to store their ritualistic tools with the essential oils made from the acacia tree to bless and protect them. The gum was also used as a base to make incense. They would use the gum in combination with sandalwood for a clear meditation. Leaves were burned on charcoal for enhancing personal powers and anointing candles.

The acacia tree wood was used in magickal workings and reminded me a little of Palo Santo sticks. It is used for protection, spiritual and psychic enhancements, money, abundance, platonic love, and friendships.
This particular type of wood is a little off the beaten path of things. Not many wands are made from the acacia tree. Acacia wood is used to create a very different kind of wand. It is a very special type of wand. The acacia wand is a tricky wand to work with due to the acacia wood. This wand rarely produces any magick for its witchy owner. The acacia tree wand is very stubborn, and it is hard to get it to do anything. Once you can work with your wand, you have the potential to become a spiritual leader, according to folklore. If you desire, design a wand from the acacia branch or use a part of the root to strengthen it. Make the wand of your liking by your artistic techniques, or whittle and carve a special design in the root or branch to create the wand. It is said to bring strong spiritual leadership. The acacia wand is said to increase confidence, integrity, and authority. Of course, you’ll need to charge your wand in the sun since the sun is an element of the acacia tree.

The wand holds its best effects for the most gifted and powerful witches. With the acacia tree having a sensitive nature, it is hard to put it in the right hands of any witch, sorcerer, or wizard if they are not strong enough to satisfy the temper of the acacia wand. When paired well, the acacia wand will connect well for all powers. The acacia is usually underestimated due to the odd temperamental characteristics it has. Suppose you have any acacia wood and wish to bring forth its natural powers to work with you. In that case, you can use the acacia leaves blessed with holy water and place them on your acacia wood or wand if you chose to consecrate/bless the acacia. Put some even place some of the acacia leaves on your altar to bless your altar too.

You can also burn it on a charcoal disc as an altar offering. When using the acacia gum/sap as in incense, it is referred to as resin.

ITEMS NEEDED FOR SPELL
You can use acacia sticks, flowers or leaves, mugwort, a charcoal disc, a lighter, or matches to light the charcoal disc. A cauldron to put the charcoal disc into when you light the disc, so you dont burn your hands if you dont have a pair of tongs to hold it with and a blue and white candle. Once you light the disc, place the preferred part of the acacia and mugwort on the charcoal disc, it will start smoking immediately; light the white candle first, then light your blue candle second and sprinkle some of the acacia and mugwort on it. Then say this spell.

THIRD EYE PSYCHIC SPELL
