Acacia (Acacia Senegal)

Folk Names: Cape Gum, Egyptian Thorn, Gum Arabic Tree

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 sandlewood 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.
