Vervain is feminine and is ruled by Venus with
the Element of Earth. Good for the ritual
cleansing of sacred space, magical cleansing
baths and purification incenses, it should be
hung over the bed to prevent nightmares.
Vervain is also excellent for use in prosperity
charms and spells as it brings good luck and
inspiration. It should be picked before sunrise.
While it is said to control sexual urges
(supposedly for seven years), it is also used in
love and protection charms, presumably to
ensure fidelity.
