When worn, yarrow protects the wearer, and when held in the hand, it stops all fear, granting courage.
Dried yarrow, hung over the bed or used in wedding decorations ensures a love lasting at least seven years. Yarrow is also used in love spells.
Carrying yarrow not only brings love, but it also attracts friends and distant relations you want to contact. It draws the attention of those you most want to see.
The infusion made from the flowers is said to improve psychic powers.

Yarrow is also used to exorcise evil and negativity from a person, place or thing.
