Charlemagne expressly demanded that every farmer have his Houseleek on the roof so that he would be spared from lightning damage.
Houseleek is a proven aphrodisiac.
Hildegard von Bingen: If a man lacks sexual desire, he should put houseleek in goat's milk until it is completely soaked in the milk. Then he should cook it in this milk and add some eggs to it, so that it becomes food that he should eat for three days.
