Garlic

Garlic Not only does garlic supposedly hold the ability to ward off vampires, in Italian folklore the "stinking rose" is also believed to fend off the dreaded "evil eye" curse. Hanging a wreath of garlic on the front door not only looks cool and folksy, but will also protect the home from all manner of nastiness.
