Garlic

Garlic (Allium sativum) – The White Shield

Potent, pungent, and historically legendary, Garlic is the premier botanical of exorcism and absolute protection. Ruled by the planet Mars and the element of Fire, its energy is aggressive, defensive, and unyielding. It is the "Great Protector," used for centuries to drive away evil spirits, neutralise hexes, and guard the home against those who wish to drain its vitality.

In magickal practice, Garlic is used when "soft" protection isn't enough. It acts as a spiritual disinfectant, clearing away parasitic energies and "vampiric" influences that feed on your peace. Whether you are guarding your threshold or cleansing a space after a period of intense negativity, Garlic is the ultimate warrior of the plant kingdom.
