Magical  Uses:  A  par  excellence  protective  herb, holly guards against lightning, poison and  evil  spirits.  Planted around the home it protects it and  its inhabitants  from mis-chievous sorcerers. When thrown at wild animals, holly makes them lie down quietly and leave you alone, even  if you don't  hit  them with  the  plant.  Holly water  (infused  or distilled)  is sprinkled on  newborn  babies to protect them. Holly is also carried to promote good luck, especially by men, since the holly is a "male" plant.  (Ivy is the corresponding plant for women.)  It is also hung around the house for good luck at Yule. After midnight on  a  Friday, without making a sound, gather nine holly leaves, preferably  from  a  non-spiny plant (one that has smooth leaves). Wrap these up  in  a  white cloth using nine knots to  tie the ends together. Place this beneath your pillow, and your dreams will come  true.
