mugwort Mugwort Essential Oil

This herb has been used magickally since ancient times. Of course, it gets its Latin name (Artemisia) from Artemis (Diana), and for that reason is often considered a Moon scent (although some think of it as Venus). In fact, its fragrance is excellent for Moon work like divination, especially through dreams, and for lucid dreaming. It is also a well known ingredient in flying ointments. In ancient times, mugwort was used in incantations, so the scent of this herb should be tried for sorcery. On ancient Greece it was thought to protect against evil spirits and evil human intentions, which indicates possibilities for its incorporation into protection spells. This scent is associated magickally with the fixed stars Capella, Deneb Algedi, Spica, Algol, Sirius, Polaris, and Regulus. Steam-distilled from Artemisia vulgaris. Top
