Bay leaves in witchcraft are traditionally used for wishes, protection, success, prosperity and cleansing. This 5g pack of dried Laurus nobilis leaves is a practical cupboard staple for spell jars, intention work, charm bags and altar rituals.

Bay is wonderfully straightforward to work with: write a word, symbol or short intention on a whole leaf; add it to a spell jar or sachet; place a few leaves in a money bowl; or use them in a home-protection working. It is especially suited to steady manifestation work and spells that help an ambition take root.

Ways to Use Bay Leaves in Witchcraft

• Wish & intention work: write a clear, achievable intention on a leaf and keep it on your altar or in a charm bag.
• Protection: add bay to a protection sachet, spell jar or doorway charm to support firm, peaceful boundaries.
• Prosperity: place a leaf in a money bowl, wallet or work space to focus on opportunity, success and sensible growth.
• Cleansing: combine bay with other herbs in a non-burning home or altar cleansing working.
• Divination: use a leaf as a simple focus object before journalling, tarot or quiet reflection.

Your 5g Ritual Herb Pack

Each resealable packet contains 5g of dried bay leaves for repeated ritual, craft and decorative use. Bay leaves are naturally very light, so this is a useful number of leaves for ongoing spellwork. As with any natural botanical, leaf size, colour, fragrance and condition will vary; some leaves may have small cracks or broken edges.

Safety & Intended Use

Sold for ritual, craft and decorative use only; not sold for consumption or medicinal use. Do not eat whole bay leaves. Whole leaves can create considerable smoke when burned, so we recommend non-burning spellwork wherever possible. If you choose to burn a very small piece, use a heatproof container outdoors or in a well-ventilated space, do not deliberately inhale the smoke, never leave it unattended, and keep it away from children and animals.
