mandrake, demons cannot reside, and so the root is used in
exorcism. To "activate" a dried mandrake root, place it in some
prominent location in the house and leave it there undisturbed
for three days. Then place it in warm water and leave overnight.
Afterwards, the root is activated and can be used in any magical
practice. The water in which the root has bathed can be
sprinkled at the windows and doors of the house to protect it,
or onto people to purify them. The mandrake has also long served
as a poppet in image magic, but its extreme scarcity and high
cost usually forces the practitioner to look for substitutes;
ash roots, apples, the root of the briony, the AMerican may
apple and many others have been used. Money placed beside a

causes sleep.

Garlands of marigolds strung on the doorposts stop evil from
entering the house, and scattered under the bed they protect you
while asleep and give you prophetic dreams. Especially effective
in discovering a thief who has robbed you. Marigolds added to
the bath water help win the respect and admiration of everyone
you meet. Looking at the bright flowers strengthens the sight,
and carried in the pocket, marigold helps justice to smile
favorably upon you while in court. If a girl touches the petals
of the marigold with her bare feet, she will understand the
languages of the birds.
