Verbena is the herb of herbs and boasts many powers. You can use a protective spell on St. John's Day (June 24th) or Ascension Day (August 15th). One should dig for the root with a gold or silver tool and then leave the plant until the morning dew falls on it. During this time you should not leave the verbena alone because it needs company. Anyone who carries this herb with them will never get tired and never go astray; it protects against all harm.
The medicinal herb was an ingredient in the witches' famous flying ointment. Verbena has the same effect as mugwort in shoes. You can walk for a long time and not get tired.
Hildegard von Bingen: If there is rotten flesh in a person, then boil vervain in water, put a linen cloth on the rotten areas and, after squeezing out the water, place the verbena on the linen cloth. After it dries, put other cooked verbena on top. Do this until the rot is gone. The same application exists for mandrake, mandragora.
