FOLK NAMES: Burn Plant, Medicine Plant GENDER: Feminine PLANET: Moon ELEMENT: Water POWERS: Protection, Luck MAGICAL USES: The aloe, a popular house plant, is also protective. It guards against evil influences and prevents household accidents. In Africa the aloe is hung over houses and doors to drive away evil, as well as to bring good luck. In Mexico, large wreathes made of whole garlic bulbs strung on wire are festooned with pictures of saints, packets of magical herbs, lodestones, rock salt, pine nuts as well as clumps of freshly-cut aloe. These are hung up in the home for protection, luck, money, and so on.
