One of the best protective herbs. The wood
of the holly is very well suited for the handle of the ritual knife as it both
attracts and repels energies. It is powerful when defense is needed in circle
while preserving the gentleness within it. Holly water is sprinkled on newborn
babies to protect them. Carried by men, it promotes luck. (Ivy is the
corresponding plant of luck for women). Decorate the house with it at Yule for
good luck.
After midnight on a Friday, without making a sound, gather nine holly leaves,
preferably from a non-spiny plant (one that has smooth leaves). Wrap these up in
a white cloth using nine knots to tie the ends together. Place this beneath your
pillow, and your dreams will come true. -- Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs |
