Verbena Sects

Verbena cabals are called circles.
The Verbena have long known how to lock werecreatures in one of their forms using Life magic.

Verbena Tradbook Revised - Glastonbury Tor in England is a Verbena location. The Gauntlet is thinner there making it a good place to visit the fey realms & the Umbra. Other sites are standing stones of Avebury, burial mounds of Newgrange (England), megaliths of Carnac in Brittany, Externsteine (Germany) is a collection of limestone pillars. Shrine of the Earth Mother in Malta. Mystery Hill in New Hampshire.

Guide to the Traditions pg. 119 shares real world historical info proving Burning Times (1200s) didn’t really happen. Some Mage books move Burning Times to Renaissance era.

Some believe it was Pure Ones > Wyck > Aeduna > mages
