Garlic reminds one of an old movie, out of the dark shadows enters the Vampyre. The hero of the movie, defending the already bitten damsel, holds up a string of garlic. The Vampyre, shrinks away scared of the cloves he sees. The hero has again rid the world (or the movie) of the deadly force of evil. Of course, we all know this does not work on vampyres so do not waste your time trying .

Garlic has in fact been used for many centuries for healing, protection, cleansing and drawing luck. The most common usage of course is spaghetti sauce, sorry about that, I meant to say protection.

Sailors used the herb garlic while traveling on the seas. The belief was carrying the garlic would help against ship wrecks. Did it work? Check your history books, but I doubt if in the inventory of the sunken wreckage they will have garlic listed under the inventory they have found.
Sailors were not the only military personnel to use garlic for protection. Soldiers in the middle ages wore garlic as a defense in the middle ages. Roman soldiers also used garlic but they would eat it in order to give them courage before going into battle.

A few other suggestions in the use of garlic:

When moving into a new home place a sprig of garlic in the home (Kitchen or front doorway) in order to repel negative energies.
Rubbing garlic on the insides of pots and pans is another way to repel negative energies. Do this before cooking to remove and it is said that by doing so you will remove the energies that may contaminate the food. Using this method in the kitchen gives you a good excuse when a dish is not pleasing to your company or family. Just tell them it was not your fault, but the negative energies that was attracted to the food.

Have a business and want to increase sales? Take a whole clove of garlic and stick nine straight pins in at various angels. Placing a brass tack on the side and a steel nail on the other side . Tie a white cord around the nail and then winding the cord around each pin, one after the other, ending with the brass tack. It will look like a wheel of sorts when you have finished this procedure. After which soak the garlic in King Solomon oil overnight before hanging in your business window. Moisten the garlic weekly with the oil to keep the effectiveness.

Lust and sexual power is important to a lot of people. Eating garlic actually is a lust inducer. Carry breath mints, you will need them.

Garlic is commonly used to protect one against the evil eye and evil spirits. The next time you feel that there is an evil spirit around, take a bite into the garlic that I am sure that you will have in your purse or pocket after this article.
