Rebirth, patience, organization, leadership skills, diligence, loyalty, the calming of emotions

A very fire-oriented wood, the energy is very cleansing and purifying, burning away that which is not desired. It allows one to create, to exert their willpower and achieve positive results. For this reason, it is an excellent tool for magic involving wealth, luck, and goals.

An unrestrained, fiery energy, this wood lacks grounding. Those who get carried away easily and are not grounded themselves may wish to avoid this wood. But it can help others release their baggage, be more impulsive, and see beyond that which is right in front of them.
