Bay leaves have been used for centuries in spiritual and religious practices, and are believed to bring good luck, protection, and blessings to those who use them. These dried leaves, from the laurel tree, can be burned as an incense to purify and cleanse a space, or added to ritual baths for their cleansing properties. They can also be carried in a mojo bag or placed in a sacred space for protection and manifestation. In addition to their spiritual uses, bay leaves also have a fresh, herbaceous fragrance that adds a natural, uplifting aroma to any space.
