===== Magical Uses =====
A hoop or loop of twisted yucca fibers will transmutate a person into an animal if he or she jumps through it, according to American Indian magic. Another method instructs the magician to place a small wreath of yucca fibers on his or her head. This allows the person to assume any form desired.
A cross of yucca fibers twisted together and placed on the hearth protects the house from evil.
