Various Magical Uses for Yucca
A cross (like St. Brigid’s cross) woven of yucca fibres placed upon one’s hearth or above a door will protect the home from evil and cleanse it of bad vibrations. (this is especially good when the cross is made at Imbolc, St Brigid’s feast day.)
A hoop of yucca fibres jumped through seven times will allow one to shape-shift into animal form.
If one feels that one is cursed or hexed, a slice of yucca root must be rubbed all over the body once a day for seven days. Once this is complete, the slice of root may be burned to destroy the curse, and the ashes buried or thrown into a river.
The dried flowers may be added to a white charm bag tied with white cord for protection against negative energies or spirits. To this bag one may also add artemisia, rosemary, Texas croton, basil, and/or the acorn of a live oak. For added protection, nine long spines from a prickly pear cactus may be pushed through the fabric of the bag as you would straight pins.
The suds of the yucca root may be used to clean floors and surfaces in order to purify a space. Hyssop may be added if it feels right.
