Folk Name: Common artemisia, Felon herb, St. John's herb, Chrysanthemum weed and Sailor's tobacco.
Mugwort is a very ancient herb for healing magic and divination, known to be protective to women and travellers.
The Latin name Artemisia comes from Artemis, the Greek moon Goddess and patron of women, childrenand midwife. So it is an excellent herb to use for feminine energy and issues.
Use herbal water made of mugwort to cleanse ritual tools, especially those used for divination.
Hanging mugwort over or on a door will keep unwelcome energies from passing through.
