Divination

A Delphic Pythoness underwent intense training, dietary, and spiritual restrictions before placing the bay leaf into their mouths to consult the Oracle. A  simpler form of divination is to cast the dried bay leaf into the fire. Focus on your question while holding the bay leaves, and toss them onto lit charcoal or into a fire. If the leaves burn brightly and loudly, the answer is a positive. If the leaves burn sullenly, or refuse to burn without coaxing, or the flame dies out, the signs are negative, or you may want to consider readjusting your plans for a happier outcome. If the flame is bright and high, all signs are in your favor.

Dream Pillow

Bay leaves have long been associated with prophesy. For a quick prophetic dream pillow, stuff a few teaspoons of bay leaf into a cloth and tie it shut.

Protection

Bay leaves, worn on the body, are said to repel ill-will and malevolent magic. Fill a red charm bag with bay leaf, rue, and salt to ward away attack and negativity.

Wish Box

( from, "A Compendium of Herbal Magick", by Paul Beyerl )

 Make or buy a small wooden box. Decorate it with  magical symbols and consecrate. Pick three leaves from a live bay laurel tree on the New Moon and place them in the box. As the Moon waxes, contemplate what you want to manifest in your life during the next month. Write it down on a slip of paper and place it in the box.

On the Full Moon, place the box, and it's contents into a cauldron and burn. Bury the ashes by the light of the Moon.
