Ritual Uses

This herb is burned as an incense to "reverse" hexes and to restore peace and balance.
Magickal Uses

In all protection sachets and spells, also to banish negative energies and spirits. It protects against goblins, evil and poison.

Has long been used to reverse spells sent against the magician; i.e. it not only breaks hexes, it sends them back to the hexer.

Placed under the head will make one sleep as if dead, according to ancient lore, but don't use this for insomnia; the sleeper won't awaken until the herb is removed.

At one time was used to detect the presence of Witches.
