    Meaning

    Bay laurel is traditionally given to Sun and to Fire. It is used for victory, prophecy and clarity. These attributions come from the herbals of the Renaissance and the later ceremonial tables, not from any single ancient source.

    Practice

    Write a wish on a leaf and burn it. The Pythia was said to chew laurel; do not ingest cherry laurel, which is toxic. Nothing here is medical advice; never ingest a plant you have not identified with certainty.
