Hyssop and vervain are particularly ancient space cleansers. Hyssop is cited in biblical accounts of Temple cleansings, although there is some doubt as to whether the herbal species now identified as hyssop is actually the same as the one in the Bible. Regardless, what we know today as hyssop has been used as a potent spiritual cleanser for centuries.
Vervain was used to cleanse the temples and altars of ancient Greece and Rome. Effective separately, the two herbs share an affinity and combine well together.
- Make a strong infusion from the herbs.
- Add this to a bucket of salted floorwash water together with white vinegar.
- Make a single use broom, particularly from vervain and/or hyssop. Use it to asperge and scrub with the infusion.
- When you’ve completed the cleansing spell, dispose of the used water outside your home. Take the boom apart and scatter the parts outside.
