Uses
Garlic is one of the classic protective plants of European and wider folk tradition, associated with banishing, warding, exorcism, health symbolism, and protection against thieves or hostile spiritual influence.
In Practice
Hang a braid or bulb near the kitchen or entryway as a household ward, place cloves near thresholds, or include dried garlic in a sealed protection charm. Keep it away from pets, since ingestion can be toxic to dogs and cats.
