I had a picture of a bayleaf today. Apparently bayleaves are sometimes used in potions to ward off evil spirits. God does not want us to dabble in any magic even if it is to ward off evil. He simply wants us to trust in His Holy Spirit and to not get involved in any witchcraft, fortune telling, divination etc. (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). He wants us to be decisive and choose to be wholly in His Kingdom, rather than to be lukewarm with only one foot in His Kingdom and the other following other spiritual practices.
