All About Garlic
Mmmmmm! Garlic is one of my favorite herbs! It’s antioxidant properties and effects on your health have been lauded. Aside from it’s obvious effects with protection against vampires, garlic has several other benefits to it as well.
Garlic has long been used as a general protective herb, worn around the neck or carried in the pockets. Placed in the home it guards against evil, the evil eye, and to keep out robbers, thieves, and envious people.
When eaten, garlic is considered an aphrodisiac and opens the channels of conversation and good company.
Placed around doors and windows, garlic is also protection against the elements and weather, especially against the wind and rain.

Thats cool about protection from wind and rain! I love wind and rain AND I love garlic – lol I want all three!

I agree – I love a good wind and rain and garlic is SOOOO yum! I think the protection applies when you’re in the wind and rain so nothing bad happens to you. 😀

And in a pinch, will help keep tiny, unauthorized critters off your pets! Used to feed garlic to our dogs when we lived in the South and were too poor to afford Advantage. It works, tho’ they don’t always like to eat it.
