===== Magical Uses =====
Hung over doorways or carried, the sloe wards off evil and calamity and banishes demons and negative vibrations. The wood is sometimes used to make divining rods and wishing rods. These "wishing rods" are used in spells of all types and are actually all-purpose magical wands.
