It is customary for Greeks to
use Garlic to ward off evil. Garlic is believed to ward off demons and
evil spirits in the same manner that incense does. Demons and evil
spirits are believed to fear it.
Garlic can be worn in the
clothes of an individual to ward off evil. If you find garlic hanging in
Greek businesses or houses it is there for the purpose of warding off
evil.
Garlic is believed to be very
effective against The Evil Eye. Please check The Evil Eye.
