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
