I’ve recently done a spell involving bay leaves and I wanted to know more about this herb. Everything I found out I put here for you.
Bay leaves are also known as laurel leaves, they are often associated with the god Apollo. They are also associated with glory and honor. Bay leaves are ruled by Leo, the sun and the element fire.
Looking at the magical properties of bay leaves, they can be used in spells such as love, prophetic dreams, healing, banishing, success and cleansing.
Like rosemary bay leaves are a very powerful herbs by itself, but when mixed with other ingredients can make something amazing.
For example by mixing sandalwood and bay leaves together you can break a curse.
