Bay leaves are incredibly useful in many spells, but today I am going to show you the simplest way to manifest with a bay leaf. For starters you can buy bay leaves at your local grocery store, but I chose to visit my local metaphysical shop and grabbed 5 large bay leaves. The only other thing you will need is a sharpie/pen.
Bay leaves have a notorious history for blocking hexes and are used for protection. Many people crush bay leaves and put them under the carpet at their front door where many people enter and exit.
Alright, let’s get on with the spell and what it is used for. In reality this type of ritual can be preformed to invite new things into your life or to banish certain things from your life. If inviting you will want to write what you are inviting into your life on the bay leaf. Examples of this could be, happiness, money, new opportunities, a person, etc. After you write what you want to attract on the bay leaf you will light one side on fire and watch it burn. Make sure to keep an eye on it so you don’t burn the whole house down. While the bay leaf is burning, watch the smoke carry your intentions and manifestations into the universe, carry these intentions with you to intensify this spell.
Now if you are banishing someone or something from your life you will do the same but you will obviously do it with the intention of banishing someone or something. Examples of this could be negativity, a person’s name, sadness, a reoccurring cycle, and more. Once again you will light one side on fire and keep an eye on it as it burns. As it burns visualize the person or thing vanishing from your life the way the bay leaf is slowly disappearing.
As with anything spiritual, your intentions are what set the record straight. You can use the same spell/ritual for different reasons but what you are thinking and saying is what matters most, so keep this in mind while you are completing the ritual.
