Magical Uses: Another poisonous plant largely ignored in herb magic today due to its toxicity, henbane is still sometimes utilized as a love-bringing herb in the following manner: to bring love, a man should gather henbane naked, early in the moming, while standing, on one foot. Worn, it will bring love. Burned out of doors, it attracts rain, but the fumes would be poisonous (substitute fern in this usage).
