The legend:
Used in an ancient love 
potion as recorded by 
Aristotle. Also an old
custom was to steep 
Vervain in hot water, 
strain the liquid of 
the herb, and
add the cleared liquid 
to other water used
to clean the home 
or as a spray.
This brew was known 
as the Brew of Juno 
or Juno's Brew, 
and its use was to
rid the premises of 
evil spirits and 
malignant forces. The 
dry vervain was
also carried as a 
charm.
