Vervain (Verbena Officinalis) Herbs

Vervain, also known as the Enchanter's herb, has been traditionally used for protection against evil spells or negative energy and to purify sacred places such as temples, altars, dwellings, and ceremonial implements. It has various magical properties and can be used for manifesting love, consecration, blessings, defensive magic, protection, peace, money purification, messages, youth sleep, banishing, and healing. You can incorporate vervain into all your celebrations and rituals for the eight sabbats. To ensure a magical year ahead, you can toss a sprig of vervain onto the bonfire or wear an amulet filled with it to encourage inspiration and skill. When casting a circle, you can use a bundle of vervain to sprinkle blessed water. You can also use the sprig of vervain to ritually sweep your altar to purify and bless it.
