Collecting Bat Wings


Hey there! Just wanted to post on the difficulties of collecting bat wings, sheesh I didn't realize they are so sharp and painful! *Smiles* Of coarse there not really "bat wings" just holly leaves (notice the shape of the leaves and it makes sense.)

So if you decide to collect them yourself make sure to be careful! I'm serious!

Anyhoo I've added some magickal uses for holly "bat wings" Enjoy!

  • Burning Holly leaves in your home as an incense is said to protect the home and bring in good luck and fortune.
  • Hanging Holly leaves inside your home as well as out is said to protect and drive out negative energies/entities.
  • The leaf of the Holly can be dried and used as teas for fevers, bladder problems and bronchitis. The juice of the fresh leaf is helpful in jaundice treatment. Holly can be used homeopathically as a substitute for quinine. Note: Holly berries are poisonous!
  • If you gather nine Holly leaves in complete silence on a Friday after midnight, wrap them up in a white cloth, use nine knots to bind the cloth, and then place them under your pillow, your dreams will come true. When harvesting the leaves from the Holly, remember to ask the tree if it will allow you to take the parts and be sure to leave the tree an offering of thanks when you are done. Holly favors red and yellow stones as gifts.
  • "Bat Wings" are also great added with any other herb/plant etc. for an added "boost" of power.
