The Spiritual Significance

Lemon verbena pours out a clean, intense lemon scent from leaves that hardly look capable of it, and folk magic prized that brightness for love and for power. As a love herb it is worn and carried to make the wearer more attractive and to draw affection, a sweet, sunny note in romance work. As a purifier its fresh scent cleanses and uplifts a space, clearing heaviness and lifting low spirits.

Lemon verbena's most distinctive reputation, though, is as a strengthener: added to almost any other charm, sachet, or mix, it is said to increase that working's power, making it a favorite booster in blended magic. It is bright, clean, and amplifying. Lemon verbena is also a culinary and tea herb, which is not what we offer it for; Plentiful Earth sells this leaf strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a food, and it is not for ingestion.

How To Use Lemon Verbena

1. Draw affection. Wear or carry lemon verbena in a love sachet to make yourself more attractive and draw love.
