Wiki / Vervain

Vervain (Verbena officinalis) was one of the holiest and most powerful of all plants in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The Romans called it "Herba sacra" (sacred herb) and used it for temple cleansings and diplomatic ceremonies. As an incense, the dried herb releases a fresh, slightly tart and herbaceous-spicy fragrance.

Vervain was associated with the goddess Venus/Aphrodite. In the Celtic druidic practice it was an indispensable ritual tool. As an incense it is used for love rituals, protection and purification rituals, to attract peace and harmony, and to strengthen magical work.

Use: Place dried herb on incense charcoal. Fresh, mild smoke – very versatile in application.
