What to do to attract good luck and ward off bad luck?
Even if we are not very superstitious, we can delve into history and learn about the customs that, according to ancient beliefs, were supposed to ensure the prosperity of household members. One of them is placed near the door or window. Already in ancient times, it was believed that it drives away evil forces and protects household members. Bay leaves (laurel) were considered a talisman that protected people from misfortunes. The Greek name of this plant is dafni. It refers to the famous myth about Daphne, who, in order to protect herself from Apollo, was turned into a laurel tree by Gaia. Apollo considered the laurel to be a sacred plant, so its leaves were used to make wreaths for the winners of the Olympic games. The Greeks also believed that where laurel grows, no lightning will strike. To this day, many people, wanting to protect their home and household members from harm, plant trees in pots and place them on the windowsill, on the balcony or in the garden.
