Garlic is bound to Mars and fire.  It has been thought to possess magical properties for centuries, and is widely used in charms and spells.  Most of the believed magical properties of garlic are related to speed, strength, and endurance, and for protection and to ward off evil.   

It is said that if you carry a garlic clove with you when traveling over water, it will prevent you from drowning. Peeled garlic cloves can be placed in doorways and around the house for protection from illness and to keep evil at bay - especially in new homes.  Try placing a clove of garlic under the pillows of children to protect them while they are sleeping. 

Legend has it that one can rid oneself of a lovesick former lover by placing a garlic bulb with two crossed pins stuck in it at a road intersection.  Lure the lover until he crosses it, and he will lose interest. 

Eating and carrying garlic is believed to enhance speed, strength, courage and endurance, and soldiers throughout history have used it for these properties when going into battle.  Garlic was also given to slaves in the past to protect them from disease and enhance their strength. 

To absorb a skin disturbance, rub a cut clove of garlic on the affected area, then place it under running water to signify the washing away of the ailment in question.
