Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
i was reading up on properties for bay leaf in hoodoo conjures and it said this..."For protection and to avoid being jinxed, especially if you are doing a job on someone else".(quoted from LM)
i have a new deck of tarot cards that i havent touched yet and want to cleanse and break in and all that you need to do before use. i will get some sage at a later point but i was wondering if smudging the tarot cards with bay leaf can provide cleansing to them? im basing this from the description of bay leaf uses.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
You could certainly fumigate them with a mixture of herbs.
However, the trick that I remember for using bay leaves to avoid being detected when working on someone else is that you lay 5 leaves in a 5-spot pattern encompassing your working altar. That hides the work that's going on inside that barrier.
Bay is also a success herb, too, though. So you could use it for success in your divinations while fumigating as well.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
I see no reason to protect or cloak my tarot cards -- if i were smoking a new pack, i'd smoke them with Psychic Vision incense, Spirit Guide incense, or Indian Spirit Guide incense, for obvious reasons.
I do use Bay Leaf when i set out spell work (especially candle spells) that i do not wish to have spiritually detected.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
thank you for the very helpful info Devi. i will definitely use the bay leaves in a combo with the tarot cards and to 5 spot my altar. from what you said it makes me think i can successfully hide my works and/or bring more success to the spells cast from the altar. i actually smudged myself a bit earlier after a working was done. i am brainstorming many different ways to use this potent herb now.
how have other friends on the forum have used this herb? id like to keep this thread going as it fascinates me.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
oh oops i posted after Ms. Cat and didnt see it. thats an interesting point you bring. i havent smudged the cards as of yet. i think i was more along the lines of reading the properties on protecting form being jinxed.
would burning an incense that contained bay leaves during a reading cause the tarot to be protected from truth during divination?

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
Bay Leaves are also great for not jinxing yourself if you are doing work for clients, or if you are doing dark work, not tracking the dark energies back in to your space. Like Devi mentioned you put down those leaves and it will conceal your work, protect you, and I've used to keep from having things reversed back unto me.
Follow Miss cat's advise and smoke them with Psychic Vision. You can also dust them with the satchet powder if you like.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
wraithklewn, don't be silly.
You ask the herbs for the specific help that you desire and require, given what you want and what you can expect them to do.
Would you ask friends to do the OPPOSITE of what they wanted them to do? No, you wouldn't. So why imagine that suddenly the Bay leaves will "cause the tarot to be protected from truth during divination"?
Truly, you NEED Bay leaves -- they'll make sure your head -- and your spell work -- are screwed on front-forward.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
Just out of interest I have heard of using bay leaves to hide your work, I cant remember where the information came from (possibly Miss Cats book) but the use of them was by placing a leaf in each corner of the room to hide your work.
However I like the idea of using a 5-spot on the altar, I haven’t heard of that before. I was just wondering if you would place 4 leaves on the corners of the alter or on the floor at the corners of your alter and the other obviously in the middle of the altar.
The reason why I am asking is because I am planning to move my altar to a spare room in my house
and the place I will be putting it is in a alcove in the room so because the room is not square the leaves in the 4 corners of the room will only cover half my alter.
I was also advised to put a mirror on the window ledge in the room to hide a reversal work. I like this as well but I guess to use both might be over doing it.
Do you need to do anything with the mirror ie write on it ect.
Thank you.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
I like the idea of using the corners of my room, but due to the rooms shape
it wont be very practical and even if it is, it wont feel right because
it would feel like placing rail road spikes for protection at the front of my
garden and putting the other 2 half way up the side of the house instead of
the back end of my back garden. It wasnt until I was reading this thread
that I even thought about this.
I will go with the 5 spot on the alter as I will be using a desk, I like the
idea with the chest though.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
I've come across a few spells where it indicates to write out certain petitions, or the names of Apostles, or scripture, on bay laurel leaves. The purpose of the spell doesn't seem to align up usually with protection or mental clarity/psychic vision. Does anyone know where that symbolism of that act is? where does this practice come from?

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
I'm pretty sure I've read one Hyatt spell where the names of the Apostles were written on a bay leaf for winning a court case. I just wonder why.

Hello, Brthrchristopher,
Now that you mention it, I'm 95% sure that you're right about that!
Isn't it the one about the Apostles' names?
Please let us know if you find the passages in Hyatt.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
Brthrchristopher and Miss Aida,
This is a variant of an old German folk-magic spell. The names can be written on a Plantain leaf -- not the Banana species that is called a Plantain, but Goose-Foot or Broad-Leaf Plantain, Plantago, the lawn weed that is called a Plantain, the one with the parallel ribs or veins in the leaf that look like lined paper. Here is a rosette of Plantain:

In the absence of a Plantain leaf, one may use a dried Bay leaf, as it forms a sturdy writing surface.
By the way, calling the information given by 1,605 African American rootworkers, "Hyatt spells" is highly misleading to the public and seems disrespectful to those whose practices Harry Hyatt collected. Hyatt was an amateur folklorist who did not believe in the efficacy of spell-craft at all, although he was continuously amazed by the divinatory powers of some of his informants (and he stated so repeatedly). Because of his dismissive attitudes toward the spells, despite his intense devotion to the process of collecting them, i prefer never to call them "Hyatt spells," but rather "the spells collected by Harry Hyatt from 1,605 mostly anonymous African American hoodoo practitioners between 1936 and 1940." Wordy, yes -- but accurate.
As to why an African American practitioner would tell Harry Hyatt a Germanic spell, that is fairly easy to explain: There is wide diversity among the informants, regionally, by age, by experience, and by ethnic background. With respect to the latter, although all of the people Harry Hyatt interviewed, except one, would have been conventionally listed as "Negro" people for the purposes of the United Stats census in 1930 - 1940, some were obviously part Native American, Sicilian, French, English, and so forth -- and openly stated as much. Due to their mingled ethnic backgrounds, and also due to natural human curiosity, which leads us to learn from our neighbors and friends of other backgrounds, many of the informants related to Hyatt the folklore of non-African cultures.
For the original German version of the spell, utilizing a Plantain leaf, see "Pow Wows or the Long Lost Friend" by John George Hohman. The English translation of 1848 cites Plantain; the more commonly encountered translation of 1858 erroneously translates the German word as "Knotweed," a plant with leaves too small to be written upon. The translation of 1858 is filled with errors of this sort, and only the translation of 1848 has correct botanical and medical terminology in it. Both editions have had wide circulation in candle shops and hoodoo drug stores from the 1880s through the present, and would have been readily available to Harry Hyatt's informants.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
I've read that Bay leaf can be used to wash the windows and door to protect the house from negativity. How would one use the herb to make a water? Would you put it in a cloth and then let it soak in some spring water? Does it matter what type of cloth?
Thank you to St. Dymphna!
Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
You would make the water similarly to making tea. Although I think with Bay Laurel leaves, you want to actually boil them in the water for a bit, as they are a little more hardy and need some more heat and time to help release their essence into the water.
You could easily use an unbleached muslin bag for steeping the herbs in the water which Lucky Mojo sells.

Re: Bay Leaves Questions and Answers
Hello, I was wondering if i am able to use bay leaf for negative work to keep my work concealed from my target and to not jinx myself. I do all my negative work in my bathroom so i was wondering if i should use the bay leaf inside the bathtub like putting 4 bay leaf around the 4 corners of my black skull candle & one underneath it? or should i use it only for smudging after i do negative work along with sage? Let me know what you guys think will work best, thank you guys again!

Yes, putting a bay leaf in the four corners of the room you're working on (or at the four corners of your workspace) will help keep you from being jinxed by your own bad work.

And yes, you can conceal work from your target by putting five bay leaves in a five-spot pattern on your workspace: one in the four corners, one in the middle. If you scroll up through this thread you will find a lot more information on bay leaves.
Good luck.
The medical qualities of this product are described in this book, with traditional folkloric remedies for home-herbalists to try.
