It is indigenous to Central and South America and was a sacred plant of the Inca Empire. The Spanish name "Palo Santo" literally means "sacred wood." It has been revered in sacred spaces and rituals in the West since ancient times, with uses second only to white sage. People believe sacred wood has the power to transform energy and offer protection, connecting the body, mind, and spirit, and purifying spaces. **:: Blessing at Taipei's Xiahai City God Temple ::** While preparing the "Matchmaker Series" (Sacred Wood Hand-Knot Bracelet), I recalled that it was after receiving the Matchmaker's red string that my husband and I found each other and have been together for 16 years. This inspired me to arrange a small trip to Taipei with my daughter. I brought my materials and went to Taipei's Xiahai City God Temple to pay respects and have them blessed by incense. At the time, my daughter was only 6 years old, but she steadily held the DSLR camera and took photos of the incense blessing ritual for me (the first photo). Since then, "Garden with a Tree Hole" has established a tradition of **bringing newly purchased materials to Taipei's Xiahai City God Temple for incense blessings.** **Taipei's Xiahai City God Temple** is located on Dihua Street. It not only enshrines the Matchmaker but also primarily worships the City God of Xiahai in the main hall. It is accompanied by deities such as the Eight Generals and Eight Officials. Many deities are co-enshrined. The Buddha's shrine mainly enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva, along with Bodhidharma, Maudgalyayana, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Maitreya Buddha, the Earth God, and Lord Guan, among others. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51701493706_c6d1c6e0e1_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51701493841_304438d2ed_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51702381010_609b0a8083_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51702169364_fcb467c283_b.jpg **:: Brand Origin ::** Initially, during my daily morning and evening Buddhist chanting, I used a mala made of 108 sacred wood beads. I also carried it with me when I went out, and the sacred wood's fragrance brought me a sense of peace. My daughter often played with my mala and loved its scent. So, one day, I used extra sacred wood beads to make a bracelet for her. Seeing how she cherished it and wore it to school, as if it carried my companionship, I wanted to share this fragrant blessing and prayer with more people. **⫯⫰** There is a garden below the mountain, In the garden, there is a tree hole, and in the tree hole, there is light. I have a mountain in my heart, and for years I've felt an urgent need to escape everything and return to the mountain. Below the mountain, a garden bloomed, nourishing me. Many years later, a tree hole grew, and gradually, light appeared. From then on, I no longer felt such a need to return to the mountain. I am the mountain, I am the tree, I am the light. If you pass by, you are welcome to take a little, to share a word, and we can illuminate each other.
