Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a magical herb of vitality, protection, good luck and feminine energy. Its botanical name ‘Artemisia’ comes from the moon Goddess Artemis to whom this herb was sacred. Artemis was revered as a Goddess of fertility, creativity, and psychic ability. So, as her herb, Mugwort can be used to boost your psychic abilities, intuition, creativity, femininity and spirituality.
Mugwort has also long been recognised as a powerful protection herb.
As a highly effective cleansing herb, Mugwort is an excellent substitute for white sage or palo santo. For cleansing a space before meditation or before performing any ritual work light an incense stick and burn it, ensuring that the smoke reaches into every corner.
Burn these smudge sticks on a regular basis to release any tensions or worries that have built up during the day.
