Mugwort Essential Oil

The Artemisia plants are named after the Greek goddess Artemisia, who ruled over hunting, hills, and fertility. Romans were said to have placed the leaves in their sandals to keep their feet from becoming sore throughout the day.John the Baptist was said to have worn a girdle of mugwort. The herb is considered important in Holland and Germany, where they wear it as a crown for protection on St. John’s Eve. The herb has long been thought to influence women and labor. In Wales, it was tied to the left thigh to ease difficulty in labor.

The plant is highly regarded in witchcraft. Native Americans attributed mugwort to witches, as well. It is traditionally used for divination and protection, lucid dreaming, and astral projection, a cleanser for ritualistic tools and staving off unwanted energies.
