Take a small white onion, stick it full of black-headed pins and place in a window.  This will guard
against the intrusion of evil into the home.  The flowers are decorative and protective and can be dried
and placed in the home for an unusual and attractive protective amulet.  Carried, the onion gives
protection against venomous beasts.  Grown in pots or in the garden they also shield against evil.

Halved or quartered onions, placed in the house, will absorb negativity and evil, as well as disease.  For
healing, rub the cut edge of an onion against the afflicted part of the body, visualizing the disease going
into the onion.  Then destroy the onion, burn or smash to pieces and busy.  Settlers in New England
hung strings of onions over doorways to guard against infections, and a cut onion placed beneath the
kitchen sink as long been used for the same purpose.  

To cure warts, rub them with a piece of onion and throw over your right shoulder.  Walk away without
looking back.  A large red onion tied to the bedpost protects its occupants against sickness and aids in
recuperations.

Never throw onion skins and peelings onto the ground; if you do, you throw away your prosperity.  
Instead burn them in the fireplace or cook stove to attract riches.  An onion placed beneath the pillow
can produce prophetic dreams.  If you are faced with making a decision, scratch your options on
onions, one to each onion.  Place them in the dark.  The first one that sprouts answers you.  

Some ancient authorities state that when eaten, the onion “provokes to venery,” for example, produces
lust.  Magickal knives and swords are purified by rubbing their blades with cut fresh onions, and if you
throw an onion after a bride you’ll throw away her tears.
