Dedicated to Artemis and Diana, it has been used against pain and for healing, to discover its psychic powers and generate lucid dreams. In ancient China and Japan, Mugwort was hung on doorways to exorcise spirits from sickness.

In Celtic and Norse mythology as well, this plant is considered a magical boon from the gods that could be hung at the entrance to rooms and burned in incense to prevent disease or worn on the body to protect against evil spirits.

Interesting fact,  the legends of these two separate cultures (Asian  & Occidentale) tell that the supernatural powers of Mugwort were revealed by sirens who came from the sea to present this herb for the good of humanity.

  Armoise is nowadays one of the most recognized dream herbs.

She brings intense dreams that can sometimes be difficult

Miscellaneous Facts:

The Armoise is also known under the name of "the Grass of protection of the travelers". Roman soldiers placed Mugwort in their sandals to support long marches. A Roman general wrote that his men walked 10 miles further, as well as faster, when they had Mugwort under their feet!

It seems that this practice is still perpetuated today ...

​

Armoise was once the basic ingredient in beer before the launch of hops. It was also called Sailor's Tobacco, as it was used as an alternative when sailors ran out of tobacco at sea.

The tea of Mugwort was usually consumed before divination rituals and it was also burned as a "carrying" incense or as a "mist" of purification by the Native Americans.

Also known as Visionary Herb, Mugwort is still used today to discover the powers of the spirit.

​
