It is a protection and purification herb par excellence and is worn as an amulet to ward off negativity and evil, burned or scattered during exorcism rituals, placed in the windows to protect against lightning, and hung up to prevent poltergeists from working any mischief in the house. A sprig of bay is used to sprinkle water during purification ceremonies. Bay leaves mixed with sandalwood can be burned to remove curses and evil spells. Bay leaves give strength to those engaged in wrestling and athletic sports if worn at the time of competition.
