===== Magical Uses =====
Long used to protect against lightning, especially by mountain climbers. Mountain mahogany lives at high elevations where lightning and thunder live too, according to ancient American Indian tradition. Thus the tree gives protection from lightning strikes. Wear a piece of the bark in your hat or somewhere on your person while mountain climbing.
