Known as the "magician's herb," Vervain is helpful in several directions: protection, calling spirits, strengthening the mind, and inciting passion. Vervain increases the magical properties of anything it is used with, be it other ingredients or to consecrate magical tools. For protection, Vervain clears negative entities and protects against theft, protects the practitioner when calling upon spirits, and breaks any negative energy or jinx that is sent. It is used to strengthen the mind by helping to retain and connect all knowledge. Vervain is also used to draw love, increase happiness in a marriage, and increase the passion between two people for sexual fulfillment.
