Bay leaves are a staple in witchcraft, known for their powerful manifestation, protection, and purification properties. Witches often write wishes or intentions on dried bay leaves and burn them to send their desires into the universe. They’re also used in protection spells, placed under pillows for prophetic dreams, or added to spell jars for success and abundance. Bay leaves can be carried for good luck, brewed into teas for wisdom, or burned to cleanse negative energy. Simple yet potent, they’re a must-have in any witch’s herbal toolkit!
