Folklore
Iroquois witchcraft medicine, cold infusion of smashed leaves used to make an obnoxious person leave. Vervain was considered a cure-all and sacred plant, helping to save those of the medieval plagues. The name Vervain is derived from the Celtic ferfaen, from fer (to drive away) and faen (a stone), as the plant was much used for affections of the bladder. Another derivation is given by some authors from Herba veneris, because of the aphrodisiac qualities attributed to it by the Ancients. Priests used it for sacrifices, and hence the name Herba Sacra. The name Verbena was the classical Roman name for 'altar-plants' in general, it was used in various rites and incantations, and employed by magicians and sorcerers.
