It is a sacred plant native to Central and South America, revered by the Inca Empire. The Spanish name "Palo Santo" literally means "holy wood." It has been highly respected in sacred spaces and rituals in the West since ancient times, second only to white sage in its widespread use. It is believed that Palo Santo has the power to transform energy and offer protection, connecting the body, mind, and spirit, and purifying spaces. **:: Blessing at Taipei Xiahai City God Temple ::** While preparing the "Matchmaker Series" (Palo Santo bracelet), I recalled that after receiving a red thread from the Matchmaker deity, my husband and I have been together for 16 loving years. This inspired me to arrange a small trip to Taipei with my daughter. I brought my materials and visited the Xiahai City God Temple in Taipei for a blessing ceremony. At the time, my daughter was only 6 years old but steadily held up her DSLR camera to capture the blessing record (the first photo). Since then, whenever there's a tree hollow in the garden, [the brand] has established a tradition: **all newly purchased cords will be taken to the Taipei Xiahai City God Temple for blessings.** **The Taipei Xiahai City God Temple** is located on Dihua Street. It not only enshrines the God of Marriage (Yue Lao) but its main hall is dedicated to the City God of Xiahai. It also accommodates various deities such as the Eight Generals, Eight Officials, and many others. The main Buddhist altar primarily enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva, along with Venerable Bodhidharma, Venerable Mulian, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Maitreya Buddha, the Earth God, and Lord Guan, among other deities. 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 Palo Santo beads. I also carried it with me when I went out, and the scent of Palo Santo brought me a sense of peace. My daughter often played with my mala and loved its scent. So, one day, I took some extra Palo Santo beads and made a bracelet for her. Seeing how she was reluctant to take it off and wore it to school, it felt like an extension of my companionship, which made me want to share this fragrant blessing and prayer with more people. **⫯⫰** Below the mountain, there is a garden. In the garden, there is a tree hollow, and within the tree hollow, there is light. In my heart, there is a mountain. For years, I've had an urgent need to escape everything and return to the mountain. Below the mountain, a garden bloomed, nurturing me. Many years later, a tree hollow grew, and gradually, light appeared. From then on, I no longer felt such a strong 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 talk, and to illuminate each other.
