The Magical Properties of Mugwort in Witchcraft

Native to Europe and Asia, Mugwort is a perennial herb and an esteemed member of the daisy family. Mugwort is typically found in uncultivated areas; hence grows abundantly in meadows, and ruins with rocky soils and loves plenty of sunlight. 

Mugwort is said to be given to women by Goddess Artemis to help with pain in delicate parts of a woman’s body, especially during childbirth. Over the course of time, Mugwort has been used for a multitude of purposes including protection against evil spirits and as a part of the bouquet of odors.

Various cultures use Mugwort as a psychic or Lunar herb that is greatly protective against exhaustion, distress, and even poisons. It was used as an amulet by travelers and even Romans were said to place a sprig of Mugwort in their shoes to counter weariness in long journeys. 

The long stems and nifty leaves of Mugwort are commonly made into wreaths and garlands, especially during festivals. Mugwort does not only protect modern witches against evil spirits but is also an all-rounder when it comes to purifying homes and repelling insects making it a notable addition to every witch’s pantry or garden. 

Mugwort is an eye-opener herb that brings dreamy emotions to our senses while rekindling us with our memories. This is an excellent aid in confronting painful truths brought by difficult life situations. Mugwort clears our minds from vile reminders of the past and adds a magical touch to our future.
