Garlic in rows

Apotropaic

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Read a new word, not sure how to say it

Apotropaic

Googled and found out it’s a way to say

Keeps evil away

This word’s apt for sage and crucifix

And bulbs of garlic

Some will say they are purely symbolic

While others may believe quite sincerely

What I do know is the meaning quite clearly

Apotropaic keeps evil away and bulbs of garlic
